The Original Christmas Specials Collection on Blu-ray

I received The Original Christmas Specials Collection for review. All opinions are my own.

I remember buying The Original Christmas Specials Collection for my family almost 20 years ago. We have watched them so many times they are worn out, but my family still loves them. I was so excited for the limited edition Blu-ray steel book to come out! Get it on Blu-ray now!
