A Very Disney Christmas
Disney and the holidays have always been a natural match: they're both about magic, fun, and families. It's not surprising that from the very beginning, the holiday spirit has had a home at Disney.

As far back as 1931, audiences were treated to Disney Christmas shorts at the local movie house, at a time when a cartoon or two was a delightful part of the movie-going experience.
