Christmas in the 90's was amazing. Nickelodeon Christmas Specials, How The Grinch Stole Christmas, Home Alone 1 & 2, Toys R Us, Playstation, N64, Christmas Commerials.. Omfg... What a wonder world we were in at the time! Thanks for bringing us back.
I just bought my niece's Christmas crunch. They will never feel the nostalgia I try to capture in holiday season. I ordered my friends Swiss colony gits they loved them😊
I remember seeing that Christmas M&Ms commercial during the mid 2000’s. I wasn’t a 90’s kid but I think they reused this commercial at some point. Only saw it once though.
Yes! the Santa Clause is my favorite besides Home Alone 1&2! Shame the Santa clause sequels were terrible . I always love going to Toys R’Us with my dad whenever I went into the video game room, had to take a ticket 🎟️ and go to the register , video game Consoles I got for Christmas were SNES & later in PlayStation (crash Bandicoot & Space Jam were my first PS games I owned)
Hello David here I’ve been a fan of nostalgia for over 50 years. The reason is you’d like to see a time that you’ve never seen before and you appreciate a time that will never see again. Enjoy.😊
That happens to me when I see stuff from the 70s though I was born at the end. A lot of stuff from the 90s was probably still around when you were a kid I’m sure it has something to do with it
Ok hear me out, my favorite Christmas album from my childhood is…”Have yourself a scary little Cryptmas” parody from the Cryptkeeper (my uncle bought that for me in 1994) and “Crock O Christmas”-REN and Stimpy 😅 Home Alone soundtrack hits hard for me🥰
Christmas was the one time you knew you were gonna get a new video game maybe a new console. These kids nowadays have no idea what it was like, you’d get console and that would be it for years maybe, a video game on a birthday maybe but otherwise you rented games if they were available for a weekend maybe and until the late 90s with no memory cards or save slots usually…man I still remember getting Pokémon and a gameboy color in 98, everyone I knew that Christmas break got it. Still the best game phenomenon that only lasted a bit before the mania died down, I know the franchise is now the best selling if any medium but nothing beat that first year it came out as a 8 year old kid.
8 years earlier everyone went nuts for the regular colorless game boy. It seems so primitive now,I didn’t realize they waited so long to make a color version
This video hits so close. Being able to grow up and experience Christmas in the 90s was truly amazing. It's a feeling that I hope and pray I can help recreate for my recently turned 4 year old son.
As I have been saying to family, friends and even some strangers for almost 20 years: The 1990s was arguably as close to a "high age" aka "golden age" as humanity ever got, especially for entertainment, collecitbles and more t. I also sometimes extend that halcyonic era , from the mid 1980s through the mid 2000s. That "generation of time", that solid 20 years was so great. No time period is without its issues of course, but as I said, narrowing it down to the 90s, that was as close to the greatest era we have seen in human history. ANd we can literally look back on many ages of the world, so...:P Happy "holy" days. Blessed to have grown up in the 1990s.
I think there's definitely a case to be made that supports exactly what you're saying! Those of us who were able to live through it were lucky to do so. Thanks for watching!
Many thanks for the kind words. Blessed inded and we must remember the blessings and loved ones in our lives and try to live iwht as few regrets as possible. Be well ^
Soooo many Christmas specials , but if you don’t me recommending a indie movie that came out in 1993, it’s called “Solstice” you can finally find it streaming. I ask people about that movie and no one knows about that movie 🙏🏼
There were several different snes bundle packs I think through the years it was… Street fighter 2 Super Mario all stars Donkey kong country And Yoshi’s island. I could be dead wrong.
Why do some stores and few people have to decorate for Christmas in November? Why do we hear a few Christmas songs in stores when it's November? It's like people are so excited for Christmas to come they can't wait till December so they start in November, "let's kind of celebrate Thanksgiving but mainly Christmas."
Ever since I was a kid I never asked for toys for Christmas i always asked for fruits sunflower seeds and jerky I'm 31 (about to be 32) and to this day I get a big bucket of jerky every year and I love it now my husband looks forward to getting that jerky jar every year I always do the present wrapping for everyone and the decorations we have A Christmas Story playing on the TV for most of the day now we get a follow up movie 😊
The camcorder and camera used by your dad on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning the big ones you had to use on your shoulder! the dinners at your aunts and uncles bringing gifts to share with your cousins as your ran wild at there house and had to sit at the kids table for a Christmas meal while all the adults were dressed up nice and eating Christmas ham how cold it was and how tired you were! After! I remember going to the movie store and renting all of the classics actually being able to physically rent out the vhs tapes! I grew up poor but never realized it and man when I saw those gifts under the tree i felt rich! Of The stocking that hung that was there my whole life still have it! Same stocking filled with the best chocolates and extra candy canes that you didn’t put on the tree! My family ran a tree business so i remember going over picking out the tree from the lot each year getting that good ole family discount he would let me pick whatever tree I wanted! my uncles then wrap it in the net and tie it to my dads car roof! Then of course going inside the office where my aunts were making beautiful real handmade decorative wreaths and got some hot coco that would always burn my mouth! It smelled so so good the fresh smell of the Christmas trees coming from straight from Canada the streets having Christmas lights all down the road and my dad bringing me to all the rich houses that had lights outside… it was so beautiful with all the snow in that big ole car… everybody you passed by at the grocery stores, or gas stations said merry Christmas it was just such a laid back time it wasn’t stressful it wasn’t boring it was special! Growing up in Vermont dad taking me out and building me a huge snowman! I had my snow suit which was hot pink green with silver reflections! Big gloves and boots, we would go sledding always with the other kids I remember getting my first sled it was hot pink! We would sled upDown the big hill over and over until we were so tired. Also in our neighborhood, this was really fun and super cool Every winter down the road next to my house was a circle style road and had all the other houses around it in the middle was this perfectly round large patch of grass that dipped down! Pretty deep It was a perfect circles/oval, it was pretty big my dad and my childhood best friends dad would shovel the area out which took a few days! They created these large snow walls! All around that were over 6 feet tall! With an entry way built out of snow! They would then lay down massive tarps, then stick multiple hoses into the area filling it up with the water and letting it freeze over! They would smooth out the area creating a full on ice skating rink for all of us kids! And parents to use! It was so cool so fun! One of my favorite memories as a little girl that skating rink!I remember the houses would have the same decorations in my neighborhood, but I was always excited. I remember the big plastic Santa on the roof with the little sleigh and the little deer…. Looked like he was waving! All the big colored lights, framing, peoples houses! The smell of the tree is something special and growing up having a radio station that played only Christmas music all the way until new year! Making snow angels, going to see my grandma and grandpa in Canada getting the magazine to circle the gifts we wanted! Everybody speaking French is kids playing hide and seek just so family oriented… which I miss, we owned a sugar house and man it was nice the fresh Canadian maple syrup Poured over the fresh snow turning it into hard maple candy that you would take a fork and spin it around and eat it was so good fresh donuts and hot coco or tea, the mall being so beautiful with all its lights I remember jc penny’s sears KB toys! Hell this is all in the 90s I had a wonderful childhood and I miss it, I think us 90s kids had it the best during that time, there wasn’t phones for distractions heck we didnt get a computer until 2003/2004 ! I miss those times and it feels like a whole life time ago. I remember as I was growing up getting older those commercials that Christmas station I would still always enjoy that time of year so much of course it changed family split and times were different especially after 911 then the crash of 2008 it’s wild to think we are headed into 2025.. I remember New Year's Eve. I would always get to stay up and watch the ball drop… i remember the fear of nye 1999 going into 2000 and how everyone thought the world would end! i was scared lol. nothing will ever come close to those memories. of the 90s and as a little girl and the excitement..
Beavis and Butthead Christmas! "Huh Huh Humbug", "It's a Miserable Life", Letters to Santa Butt-Head, and the Yule Log clips! *Edit:* I meant, uh... Stool Log clips 🤣
They still play those Hershey Kisses and M&Ms commercials to this day. Also, Corona's "O Tannenpalm" ad from 1990 still shows up every Xmas. I feel like it's officially Xmas time when I see those on tv
It was great and Christmas in the 80s was even better,it’s when a lot of these things really got going(and earlier too). Culture as a whole was better in the 90s but the 80s have it for Christmas imo
Of course a video of the 90s where you will see The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers somewhere in it. Just watch 95 Halloween Film to see a Power Ranger toy in it. Wow I remember it like yesterday, The TV guides and the sears books.. circling all the video games and toys. Coca Cola taste super amazing especially sprite. Every area in my city, houses street lights, restaurants decorated. I feel so bad for the newer generations, they will never ever experience any of the holidays the way we Millennials experienced. Going to the mall and just seeing all the decorations as seen in the video, and that long line to see Santa Clause. Man the 90s was magical.
Everything was better in the '90s! At least better than what's followed (so far). Imagine a time when people thought Princess Diana and the World Trade Center were indestructible, and humans controlled digital technology and not the other way around.
So the time frame from this video and the disney channel movies video is 2 week meanwhile the timeframes for the other videos is about a few months. Does that mean that you are going to upload more often or is it a one time thing?
We are glad that you noticed@@Smg-500 ! We're trying to be more consistent with uploads than we were in the past. Probably not quite every two weeks fast, but ideally a new video every month or so going forward. But the more views and comments we get, the more we'll be able to prioritize creating new videos. So feel free to share the videos you like with your friends!

Nothing matched lol yet it was perfect I wish I could go back!
Christmas in the 90's was amazing. Nickelodeon Christmas Specials, How The Grinch Stole Christmas, Home Alone 1 & 2, Toys R Us, Playstation, N64, Christmas Commerials.. Omfg... What a wonder world we were in at the time! Thanks for bringing us back.
Thanks for watching! Great list!
Kids these days will never know about the magic of xmas in the 90s!
Agreed!
The entire month of dec leading up to christmas was awesome. School felt lawless and everyone was excited for the long break
I really love Christmas in the 1990s! I wish this kind of style was back.
+1
I just bought my niece's Christmas crunch. They will never feel the nostalgia I try to capture in holiday season. I ordered my friends Swiss colony gits they loved them😊
Nice!
I love Christmas in the 1990's! II wish this kind of style was back!
Ditto!
This is so good! And I love the sign off!!!💗
Thanks! ❤
I’m 35 and remember this so vividly. I don’t know if it’s just getting older or if it’s the times we live in but it did feel so magical then
Agreed! Thanks for the comment!
I remember looking through the JCPenny toy catalogues constantly! Those were the most exciting things to get!
I was a JCPenny kid too!
Christmas back then were so magical.
Agreed!
Getting Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time for Christmas legitimately changed my life.
It's such an incredible game!
Born on March 18, 1988. 90s is the goat of all Eras.👈🏾😎🔥
🐐
I remember seeing that Christmas M&Ms commercial during the mid 2000’s. I wasn’t a 90’s kid but I think they reused this commercial at some point. Only saw it once though.
I think you are right, it was played several years in a row
I’m 33 and I remember that 1995 Cap’n Crunch like it was yesterday
It was so good!
Christmas in the 90s was awesome especially because it meant alot growing up
Yes! the Santa Clause is my favorite besides Home Alone 1&2! Shame the Santa clause sequels were terrible .
I always love going to Toys R’Us with my dad whenever I went into the video game room, had to take a ticket 🎟️ and go to the register , video game Consoles I got for Christmas were SNES & later in PlayStation (crash Bandicoot & Space Jam were my first PS games I owned)
Glad you got to experience of toys r us in its heyday!
90's kid here. It was DEFINITELY great! Icing on the cereal is diabolical.
Haha right?
why do I have nostalgia for stuff that I was never even alive to experience...
Because it’s great!
I feel the same way for the 80s even though I was born in 89 lol
Hello David here I’ve been a fan of nostalgia for over 50 years. The reason is you’d like to see a time that you’ve never seen before and you appreciate a time that will never see again. Enjoy.😊

Thanks! Will do!
Ok hear me out, my favorite Christmas album from my childhood is…”Have yourself a scary little Cryptmas” parody from the Cryptkeeper (my uncle bought that for me in 1994) and “Crock O Christmas”-REN and Stimpy 😅
Home Alone soundtrack hits hard for me🥰
Those are some deep cuts! But awesome!
Christmas was the one time you knew you were gonna get a new video game maybe a new console. These kids nowadays have no idea what it was like, you’d get console and that would be it for years maybe, a video game on a birthday maybe but otherwise you rented games if they were available for a weekend maybe and until the late 90s with no memory cards or save slots usually…man I still remember getting Pokémon and a gameboy color in 98, everyone I knew that Christmas break got it. Still the best game phenomenon that only lasted a bit before the mania died down, I know the franchise is now the best selling if any medium but nothing beat that first year it came out as a 8 year old kid.
Such a great point!
8 years earlier everyone went nuts for the regular colorless game boy. It seems so primitive now,I didn’t realize they waited so long to make a color version
@@michaelblaine6494 It is crazy how long before the gameboy had a built in backlight too!
This video hits so close. Being able to grow up and experience Christmas in the 90s was truly amazing. It's a feeling that I hope and pray I can help recreate for my recently turned 4 year old son.

Soooo many Christmas specials , but if you don’t me recommending a indie movie that came out in 1993, it’s called “Solstice” you can finally find it streaming. I ask people about that movie and no one knows about that movie 🙏🏼
Never seen it, we’ll have to check it out!
There were several different snes bundle packs I think through the years it was…
Street fighter 2
Super Mario all stars
Donkey kong country
And Yoshi’s island.
I could be dead wrong.
Feels right haha
Great list!! I had such a crush on both Charlie & Bernard 🤣Malls in the 90s around Christmas were soo magical the displays were unmatched
Thanks for watching! As you can tell, the Bernard phenomenon was a surprise to me until making this video!
Why do some stores and few people have to decorate for Christmas in November? Why do we hear a few Christmas songs in stores when it's November? It's like people are so excited for Christmas to come they can't wait till December so they start in November, "let's kind of celebrate Thanksgiving but mainly Christmas."

That is awesome!
I worked at Toys R Us for a while back in the nineties so those Christmases weren’t all fun and games for me
Any specific department?
I was all over the place. In the video game department, cash register, stockroom, and sales floor. They worked me to death!

My favorite Christmas tv episode is the strike from Seinfeld!
Us too!
We still have most of these things though
Some still exist, sure! But they aren’t quite the same as the once were
Everything was better in the '90s! At least better than what's followed (so far). Imagine a time when people thought Princess Diana and the World Trade Center were indestructible, and humans controlled digital technology and not the other way around.
Agreed!
Garfield Christmas special eas my favorite
I’ll check it out, somehow missed that one!
Wheres part 2?
Thanks for asking! Still in the works!
Can i ask a question
Totally! What's up?
So the time frame from this video and the disney channel movies video is 2 week meanwhile the timeframes for the other videos is about a few months. Does that mean that you are going to upload more often or is it a one time thing?
We are glad that you noticed@@Smg-500 !
We're trying to be more consistent with uploads than we were in the past. Probably not quite every two weeks fast, but ideally a new video every month or so going forward.
But the more views and comments we get, the more we'll be able to prioritize creating new videos. So feel free to share the videos you like with your friends!
Back when salmonella was still good
Lol
now Rose is the most hated soul in the usa
Who is rose?

I remember the big plastic Santa on the roof with the little sleigh and the little deer…. Looked like he was waving! All the big colored lights, framing, peoples houses!
The smell of the tree is something special and growing up having a radio station that played only Christmas music all the way until new year! Making snow angels, going to see my grandma and grandpa in Canada getting the magazine to circle the gifts we wanted! Everybody speaking French is kids playing hide and seek just so family oriented… which I miss, we owned a sugar house and man it was nice the fresh Canadian maple syrup Poured over the fresh snow turning it into hard maple candy that you would take a fork and spin it around and eat it was so good fresh donuts and hot coco or tea, the mall being so beautiful with all its lights I remember jc penny’s sears KB toys! Hell this is all in the 90s I had a wonderful childhood and I miss it, I think us 90s kids had it the best during that time, there wasn’t phones for distractions heck we didnt get a computer until 2003/2004 ! I miss those times and it feels like a whole life time ago. I remember as I was growing up getting older those commercials that Christmas station I would still always enjoy that time of year so much of course it changed family split and times were different especially after 911 then the crash of 2008 it’s wild to think we are headed into 2025.. I remember New Year's Eve. I would always get to stay up and watch the ball drop… i remember the fear of nye 1999 going into 2000 and how everyone thought the world would end! i was scared lol. nothing will ever come close to those memories. of the 90s and as a little girl and the excitement.. of Christmas it was incredible and such a different experience the tree colored lights with giant angel on the top or a giant star there was tinsel garland glass ornaments candy cabins all over the tree. Nothing matched lol yet it was perfect I wish I could go back!
Woooow so many good memories! Thanks for sharing!!!
