Complete story and Original Soundtrack from the Christmas TV special. Narrated by Joel Grey.


It's the night before Christmas and all through the house,

everyone is anxiously waiting to see if Santa will arrive in Junctionville

this year. It seems the trouble started two months before Christmas

when all the children's letters to Santa came back from the

North Pole stamped 'NOT ACCEPTED BY ADDRESSEE

The mayor called a meeting and everyone agreed that Santa was

mad about something. Junctionville had to make him happy again or

there wouldn't be any Santa this year. But what could they do?

Twas the Night Before Christmas is a 1974 animated Christmas television special produced by Rankin/Bass Productions[1] and based on the famous 1823 poem that opens with this line.[2] The special first originally aired on CBS on December 8, 1974[3] where it aired annually until 1994, when The Family Channel (now Freeform) took over its syndication rights. AMC took over syndication rights for the special in 2018.


Although the opening credits mention "told and sung by Joel Grey", it is really narrated by George Gobel, as there is more emphasis on the point of view of Father Mouse, with Moore's poem read by Grey as a secondary plot.
