A Disney Christmas Gift (1982)

Plot

A Disney Christmas Gift is a charming 47-minute holiday special that premiered on CBS on December 4, 1982. This compilation features beloved animated shorts starring Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, interwoven with clips from classic Disney films, created after the delay of Mickey's Christmas Carol due to an animator's strike. Opening and closing with the song "On Christmas Morning," the special highlights the festive spirit at Disneyland. Nominated for a Primetime Emmy in 1984 for Outstanding Animated Program (Under an Hour), it ultimately lost to Garfield on the Town. The special enjoyed several rebroadcasts on CBS and the Disney Channel throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
