Countdown to Christmas: Cabbage Patch Kids' 1st Christmas (1984)

It was the mid-80's. The Cabbage Patch Kids were one of the hottest toys on the market at the time, so of course, there would be a cartoon featuring them. Not only that, but a Christmas special to boot.

The Cabbage Patch Kids' 1st Christmas, co-produced by Ruby-Spears with Woody Kling's production company, has a simple plot. The Kids, now sentient, learn about the Spirit of Christmas, and believe it is a physical entity. So they leave their patch in Georgia, and head for the big city. Now, if this sounds relatively familiar, a similar plot was employed for The Bear Who Slept Through Christmas 11 years earlier.
