Classic 1980s Christmas Specials

Some of the all-time great TV Christmas specials go all the way back to the 1960s. But it's easy to forget how many memorable ones came from the 80s.

Today we look back at ten of the best specials the 80s had to offer. Some of those shows include:

• Two separate specials based on a few of the hottest fads of the decade
• A sadsack comic strip character (not the one you're thinking of...)
• A powerful brother/sister duo teaming up for a holiday special
• The return of a beloved icon after 30 years
• A Christmas special with one of the most bizarre collection of guest stars you'll ever see
