CBS Commercials - December 9, 1987

[@aquaman199]

Never gets old watching this,childhood memories

[@dootuss83]

I was four years old at the time of these airings. It was the first Christmas that I can remember and I remember it fondly. Christmas time was way better back then than it is now. There was more of a charm and warmth to it back in those days.

[@MyownpersonKeta]

I completely agree. I was 11 the time this was recorded, I miss those times. I try to recreate these types of Christmases in my home every year.

[@andrewpriester6994]

Christmas during the 80’s was definitely a great time I was 6 years old in 1987 My brother was 10

[@electric_girl]

People* cared* so* much*!*🎉🥳🌲✨🌟💫😶‍🌫️😇💖🎉💝🌟✨❤️🪄🌲

[@coreyharrigan1293]

Yeah I was born in December 10, 1987.

[@davemorrison312]

Dude, my mom taped Frosty and TTNBC with these exact spots. I’ve been looking for this for ages. Thank you 🙏

[@donnieparris4684]

Oh, the nostalgia! We recorded the Christmas specials apparently on this date, and between these ads and the spinning CBS Special logo I'm taken back to being 5!

[@leslietarkin]

This had me tripping down memory lane. Those commercials brought back such fun memories. Thank you for sharing.

[@3UnemployedGeniuses]

I was 4 years old and I still watch this every year on dvd which I transcribed from an old vhs my mom made and it is literally the only thing that gets me into the Christmas spirit. it has to be the 1987 one these commercials exactly, nothing else will do.

[@quantumrobin4627]

I was 8, this block of my childhood was so great, thanks for sharing❤️

[@itsmiahtime]

I love these memories, at the same time it makes me so sad…

[@courtneyhaubert6049]

I was 13 years old when these commercials were aired. Good time and memories.

[@kathymoriarty1441]

Californian Raisins, God I remember I used to have the toys of them, they were from the McDonald's Happy Meal, also I remember watching those Christmas Specials when it was on CBS (I Still Wish that Dish Network would Bring it Back), I would Watch Frosty The Snowman, Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer, Twas The Night Before Christmas, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, A Charlie Brown Christmas, and How The Grinch Stole Christmas.

[@MLaker221]

Garfield/Claymation Christmas with the California raisins premiered for the 1st time this year on the 21st. Then 1988 they were again on the 23rd 1989 - on the 21st again 1990 - this would be the last time, really early in the month on December 7th

[@MLaker221]

And I have 2 of the figures that came with raisin bran, bought them a few years ago, and I put them on display with a little street lamp, LOL

[@janellirving4625]

I thought the California Raisins came from Hardees.

[@mikefagan6840]

I was 20 and working nights so I missed this showing, I did see it many times before especially when it first came out 😉

[@LeafyNebula]

The commercials bring back so many memories. All the holiday joy is gone these days they don’t do the cheesy stuff anymore it was fun to roleplay back then

[@aquaman199]

Funny thing is i probably most likely watched this on that night in 1987.cool stuff

[@MrLikecats]

I recorded these that night, still have the tape.

[@ukmedicfrcs]

No better memories than Xmas in the 80s for me. We didn't have money but every Xmas was magical. I want to go back. 😥

[@KennyVert]

OLD COMMERCIALS ARE THE BEST!!!

[@matthewlen9219]

Hey buddy I’m Matt. Want to pretend we’re hanging out in the snow?

[@dougfredricks2017]

I was a teen in 70s and miss this era of 📺 to include Saturday 🌄 Cartoons and PBS 👍 post. 😃

[@andrewpriester6994]

I remember some of those Christmas commercials I was 6 years old in 1987

[@jasperdilincoln2341]

I know I'm 3 years late...lol but I was 5 back in '87 and 40 now 😞. Growing up in the 80s&90s Corporations seem like they actually took time in creating their Commercials. Nowadays they seem to suck. Thanks for posting. CBS Storybreak was one of my favorites shows back then.

[@troygoodall4825]

I remember seeing these on prime time years ago when I was growing up. Great holiday memories. We are lucky to have these on DVD today.

[@exceller187]

Actually we are lucky that there is a KZbin that will preserve these memories for our Grandchildren’s children

[@jdtractorman7445]

Cool seeing these commercials. A time when Pizza Hut pan pizzas were delicious. Made with fresh dough.

[@brookemccauley1645]

I was 8 years old, Christmas time Back then was so special and magical!! 🎅🏻🎁❤️

[@matthewlen9219]

Hey dude. My names Matt. I love Disney do you?

[@christopherseat9871]

I remember this night.....just got done having supper at "FRANK'S WORLD FAMOUS HOTDOGS".....

[@HisDudeness2020]

I remember these commercials fondly, back when times were simpler and people didn't rely so heavily on technology to stay connected but focused on their loved ones.

[@shawnmalone9711]

Merry Christmas 2022!🎄🎁

[@maxwestdraws3834]

Thank you so much for sharing! I remember watching this in New York City years ago in my old apartment in Ridgewood, Queens!!

[@shawneldridge4465]

Great times, great memories and great entertainment back then. Watching all these classic and timeless Christmas cartoons and commercials were fun and enjoyable and they also used to show them on ABC and I believe it was CBS as well. For some reason it all stopped and went away and I'm just wondering why did it and I'm just also wondering why can't they give us back our Christmas and other holiday specials the way it use to be in the 80s and early 90s

[@yesibot.2051]

I wasn’t even a dirty thought but saw a lot of these a few years later ❤️

[@mikefagan6840]

🤣🤘

[@coreyharrigan1293]

I have a twas the night before Christmas before frosty's winter wonderland on dvd at the yard sale last September.

[@jenniferbrooks5446]

Great Thanks!!!!

[@dwieselmcallister]

This was literally 3 weeks before I was born. 😂😂 In December of '89, my mom taped a bunch of Christmas specials for me (and later my sister) to watch when we were older, and I do recognize a few of the commercials that also aired that year! The Frosty bumpers, the McDonald's star commercial, and the CBS special presentation spot are definitely core memories of mine. Thanks for posting!

[@ScottAllison-qe1df]

Back 10 days my favorite one was Charlie Brown's Christmas

[@pamelaquander8485]

My first memory of these Christmas specials was Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, second was Santa Claus is coming to town ,and this one. I was about 10 years old and youngest sister was about 8 years old. they don't show it anymore around Halloween 🦇 It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. and after that the Christmas season starts.

[@Enola42]

Thank you 🥺

[@joegaito702]

Seasons greetings best wishes to everyone Santa's coming stay warm and dry out there enjoy the holidays way to go ! Joe

[@bigwillietheb]

I remember this night Wednesday night & I remember recording both Frosty & the night before Christmas I was 13 & then that Friday night Charlie brown Christmas & the Grinch & then the following Tuesday was Rudolph came on & then the Monday before Christmas Garfield Christmas & a Claymation Christmas came on & recorded all of them , but Christmas that year really sucked

[@Kutil99]

I was 21 then, good times. :)

[@Anonymous-qg9xx]

I was in 2nd grade--woah!! 9 yr old!!

[@melindamcdonald3563]

I was 8 and probably watched it lol

[@yesibot.2051]

6:25 is that Kirsten Dunst?? 😍

[@Eszra]

I was 8 months old

[@Anonymous-qg9xx]

Why did music for Twas The Night Before Christmas commercial break sound sad...or unsettling....???

[@davemorrison312]

It is a solemn adaptation of the book so 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@dominicking5181]

CBS television network 🇺🇲 CBS Corp (NYSE: CBS.) Pre-9/11 stuff.😎

[@SkYxLeGaCY]

My mom thankfully had every Christmas cartoon recorded on 8 vhs tapes with multiple cartoons on each and had commercials and all. I still have them and I'm going to have them converted to blu-ray and DVD then I'm going to burn them to my old computer and download them to USB sticks. I'll probably sell 128gb USB stick's if anyone is interested.

[@chemistryguy]

Remember that time Birdie and Grimace tried to murder a star by suffocating it in a gift box? Good times.

[@jamesmuller1481]

There was no better time than this. Commercials were fun and entertaining. Now they are just annoying.

[@UmmYeahOk]

OMG! 1987 and McDonalds said “Happy Holidays!!!” It’s almost as if people in the 80s simply wanted to wish others to have a good time, no evil commie plot to wage war on Christmas or anything.

[@MrRKWRIGHT]

It seems to me that these days, most commercials feature a dog - regardless of whether or not the product being advertised has anything to do with dogs. From cleaning products to insurance and everything in between. Also, I find it particularly annoying that a great deal of commercials for prescription drugs with side effects often show people walking around in work-out clothing talking about their personal health issues. And of course they're walking dogs. Either that, or how important it is that everyone should stay well-hydrated. I believe my least favorite of this type of commercial are the ones for Ozempic - which inevitably show some overweight bald guy (and of course wearing garishly colored work-out clothing) walking around with a clipboard in his hand, high-fiving everyone he sees for no discernable reason. To make it worse, the background music co-opted by Ozempic is a great song from the 70s: "It's Magic," by Pilot: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmfSZGuDg52sp6c

[@ScottAllison-qe1df]

Charlie Brown Christmas the Grinch stole Christmas Rudolph the Red-Nosed reindeer Frosty the snowman the night before Christmas when I was a kid the Grinch stole Christmas Mickey mouse's Christmas

[@edwardjnarrojr3135]

I'm glad they pulled out of Russia

[@ericstewart9499]

Fantastic

[@jenniferbrooks5446]

I was very pregnant with my first child living in Mangum OK, now she is missing.

[@AdamPaul2222]

Is everything ok?

[@sherryhannah9262]

Jennifer Brooks I think you’re wanting attention

[@brutusbarnabus8098]

To think that today's kid's won't get to grow up watching the Peanuts holiday trilogy unless their parents have a subscription to apple tv sickens me to to know end!
