Of your titles, Cori, I've seen
Santa Claus is Comin' to Town, The Little Drummer Boy, Frosty the Snowman
and
Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol
, and I loved all of them, though I saw them so very long ago that I really need to see them again. Where on earth did you find them? I have to start watching new films now because of the Awards season, but I'd love to watch them again later when I have a chance. They were a real treat for me back in the day. -

Santa Claus is Comin' to Town
–Good Copy on Internet Archive.
The Little Drummer Boy
–On YouTube, probably best quality available. Original sadly lost or misplaced and this is a copy of a copy, still great.
Frosty the Snowman
–Free on Hulu, absolutely beautiful copy.
Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol
–Spectacular copy on YouTube, never saw it look and sound so great. -

You might check if Frosty is also on Internet Archive. If not, the place I go after trying YouTube and Internet Archive is ok.ru. This is a Russian site where you don't have to have an account or identify yourself in any way. You type the name of the program into Google and add ok.ru and if it brings up multiple copies play a little of each and choose the one which seems clearest. I have an HDMI cable connecting my computer to my TV and the programs play almost perfectly, with glitches no bigger than might be seen on network TV.
