Pee-wee's Playhouse Christmas Special: FULL Episode in 1080 HD! 

We restored the Fleischer cartoon that’s featured in this episode! We managed to be in contact with Paul during our restoration so he could enjoy it.

Even though Paul is no longer with us, PeeWee will always be a part of my family’s Christmas. Thank you Paul; thank you PeeWee. ❤

I'm still amazed at how many celebrities were part of this special.

I grew up in the 70's and Christmas was always the most beautiful, special, amazing, and wonderful time of year. I remember right when 🎃👻Halloween👻🎃 would end, the ⏰clock⏰ would start the countdown to 🎄Christmas🎄. The one thing that I always looked forward to was when the JC Penny's Christmas Catalog and the Sears Wish Book were released. I'd spend hours paging through both books, front to back, back to front. Making notes and hints for Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, and 🎅Santa🎅Claus🎅 of course. The city would change, houses would light up, and decorations would be everywhere! But once 🦃🍗Thanksgiving🍗🦃 ended, and December was here, then the television stations began showing the Christmas Specials. Charlie Brown's Holiday specials, then Rankin Bass 🦌Rudolph🦌the Red-nosed🦌Reindeer🦌, 🎅Santa🎅Claus🎅 is Coming to Town, ☃️Frosty⛄the☃️Snowman☃️, The Little🥁Drummer🥁Boy🥁, and others ending with Rudolph's Shiny New Year🎉 . I want to thank you so much for sharing this with us. I actually never saw this particular special. I've gained a really special love and respect for Pee Wee Herman's shows and specials and being able to see this now is very very special. Thank you again. So many of the performers who were in this special have passed on. So many memories, so many incredibly talented people, actors, and artists. God Bless them all, and God Bless all of us as well. In a time when there is so much insanity, violence, pain, and misery, being able to watch Pee Wee Herman's innocence and his love of life can bring a smile to us when we may need it most. 🙏🕊RIP🕊🙏 to every person who has passed on. Take care and God Bless.

RIP Dinah Shore, Eadie Del Rubio, Elena Del Rubio, Milly Del Rubio, William H Marshall, Annette Funicello, Joan Rivers, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Little Richard, John Paragon, and Paul Reubens

"Magic Screen and I are cousins" gets me every time

RIP: Pee Wee, Little Richard, Del Rubio triplets, Joan Rivers, Annette Funicello, Dinah Shore and I'm sure the many others I'm missing. This was my favorite Christmas special growing up.

@9:10 A "Zoom" call before there even was "Zoom." Pee Wee was always ahead of the game.

I wish Pee-Wee made more TV specials like this during that time...this is sooo good and a nice old way to see good friends and loved ones visit someone during the holidays.

This is a staple of my childhood. My parents taped it from the tv when I was a kid and we watched it constantly. What a time to be alive.

The adult jokes in this flew over my head til now😂

masterpiece of television, thank u pee wee for everything

We have the DVD (& actually still have the VHS from taping it off tv when it was new). One of my favorites every year - Rest in Peace, dearest Pee-wee.

Glad to see this restored. I swear I have a false memory of Little Richard singing. It has been so long

I remember watching this the first time it aired. That year (1988) was pretty difficult. My mom passed away in September of that year, amd this special was pretty much the only thing I looked forward to that holiday season. This year hasn't been easy, but thank you for posting this. Once again, Pee Wee's Christmas Special managed to make me smile during tough times. I hope tomorrow is a better day for everyone.❤

I introduced Pee-Wee to my cousin's children this past Christmas. It's safe to say they've become fans as well. Much like Mister Rogers and Captain Kangaroo before him, their legacies will continue after they've passed on.

This is the BEST Christmas special ~ Its become a tradition to watch each year.. so happy to see a good version released on RU-vid and starting up a channel

Awwwwwww 🥰❤ We love you Pee-Wee!

Gotta have that Peewee Xmas special it wouldn’t be Xmas without it especially now that he’s passed on RIP Peewee will always have the memories ❤❤️‍🩹🎄🎁

Thank you Peewee/paul for all you did for my childhood. The news of your passing was very sad for me as you were the biggest staple of my childhood. Now its time to play this for my 4yr old! So glad its reposted! Much love to you where ever you are now. ❤ ❤ ❤

I've watched this countless times, on repeat as a kid and on DVD or Blu-ray as an adult as soon as it was released. Glad to see it here, too. I hope everyone enjoys a little fruitcake for Pee-wee this year! Maybe some oversized press-on nails or Eau De Pee-wee! ♥️

I'm 58 and the only time I seen Pee wee was on Cheech and Chong movies. Last week I took the Big Adventure with him. I was over the top delighted. This should be Great! Thank You. Ok back to the show. Rest in peace Paul Rubin

"If you don't have snow at your house, just use 25 lbs of coconut shavings" 😂😂

Thanks to Mr. P. W. Herman's Estate for making this available. Waited a month to see it for the very first time.

Thank you for polishing this up for us playhouse fans! I can’t wait to show my classroom this year as we enter the Christmas season! We miss you PeeWee!

I can't tell you how much this means to me, truly.

What a gem. Thank you for posting this. That time in the '80s, including Pee-wee and the Playhouse program and these specials, when everything was creative and imaginable. And poor Dinah, keepin' on singing. :)

Peace on Earth, Pee-wee

I miss you Paul see you soon. And thanks for everything and a great childhood because of you. ✝️ 💐 🕯 have a heavenly Christmas 🎄.

It doesn't have to be the holidays to enjoy these masterpieces, you know.

Ive lived and died by the documentary every xmas season, a family tradition. We still own the original tape my parents recorded off television in the late 80s/early 90s possibly? My parents handwriting was alrdy long but faded and gone by the time i was 16 in the year 2000. It still makes me smile each time i think of it! Let alone actually watch it front2back What an absolute TREASURE r.i.p. mr paul

I've been looking for this the last few years, it's become a Christmas tradition for my family

Happy Holidays in Heaven Paul!

Merry Christmas, and long live Pee-wee! Even though he’s gone, his spirit lives in all of us. 🎄🎁🩶🤍❤️🎁🎄

I will always cherish these memories Paul Reubens ❤

I remember when the MGM/UA VHS volumes were released. My parents kickstarted my childhood by getting the first 8 volumes including this Christmas special. So many nostalgic memories. Thank you, Paul. RIP

One of my favs growing up

I will be HERE on Thanksgiving night! Thank you Friends of Pee-wee for presenting this for us 💖

Some say Dinah Shore is still singing the 12+ Days of Christmas.

I can’t believe I didn’t realize this as a kid, but Globey never speaks in this special!!!

Like many others I have to watch this every year during the Christmas Season. So happy it’s available in such great quality. Thank you!

Thank you to the person f doing this for us For my son's first 3 years this was on the Playlist (all year long). And now it's his first pick for our Christmas shows and I was worried I wouldn't find it. Thank you. RIP.

Thank you the only version of this before was really poor

I’ve watched it three times this season… it’s even more special now.

What a time to be a kid -- thank you Pee Wee :))

Yay❤❤❤❤❤❤

I love this special, always have. Miss you Pee Wee! So glad to have grown up watching him.

Thank you Friends of Pee Wee, this was a happy festive way to start the Christmas season! Love you and Merry Christmas Pee Wee!! ❤

First time I've gotten pretty emotional while watching this. R.I.P. Paul / Pee Wee.

My favorite Christmas Special! Been watching it every year since it came out. Own it on VHS and disc. My kids (30s) love this and have fond memories watching it. It's our classic. RIP Pee Wee.😢

I was born the year this first aired, but I discovered the show in 1999 when Fox Family first started re-airing it.

Thank you so much for releasing this for us to watch again! We miss you Pee Wee!

Loved watching this with the kids this Christmas. Pee-Wee is eternal!

Sorry Grace...back in the box! Lol

💟💟💟💟💟💟💟

the construction guys at 43:43 hehe... 👀😉👍

I'm watching this from Barranquilla Colombia!!! Merry Christmas to all the Pee-Wee fans!!!

this aired 35 years ago tonight on CBS! Thu. Dec 21, 2023.

Thank you for that lesson about Christmas, Pee-Wee at 11:52 and I’ll never forget it, so do we.

This special is an annual must for me and my family since I was a kid. Thank you for adding it online in beautiful HD in Paul's honor. Wasn't expecting the waterworks to be triggered again, but they are more bittersweet now than sad

Watching this again for the first time since his passing. What a gift.

Thank you very much for sharing this officially, and in HD, to boot. This has always been my favorite Christmas special, and now I can introduce others to it. The joke regarding Magic Screen's cousin still gets me every time. Pee-wee Forever!

The mid-century revival vibes was decades ahead of its time (~20 years before Mad Men).

Thank you for doing this! Our family watches this every year on Christmas morning ❤

We had this on VHS and watched it every year when I was a kid. Thanks so much for putting it up.

Been watching it every year for as long as I can remember. Now finally in HD! Can't wait! ☃️🎄🎅👼🛷

I love you PeeWee ! Thank you for all of your joy!💔💕💔❤️

I’ve seen every episode of Pee-Wee’s Playhouse countless times but I’ve never seen this! I guess it wasn’t in the box set. Such a gift to see new Pee-Wee :) thank you!

Thank you for this treasured special.

What a cast line up. Pretty impressive. Great show! Great times!

I've watched this more or less every Christmas for the last 40 or so years. The marine choir at the beginning always made my dad laugh his ass off when they came on screen.

Classic. Watched when I was a kid and watched with my kids.

Thanks for sharing my family and I watched it well setting up the Christmas tree

thanks for sharing 😊 i haven’t seen this so long, 🎁 feeling so much nostalgia 😮
