Retro Christmas TV Specials

Betamaxmas Features Rabbit Ears and Vintage Shows

Betamaxmas is a fantastic site that lets you watch TV specials from the 1970s and 1980s in full Betamax fashion. There are a number of different channels; all feature vintage TV specials and retro shows like “Pee-Wee’s Playhouse” and “Muppets Christmas” courtesy of YouTube.

A copy of ‘TV Guide’ and a vintage television completes the Betamaxmas experience--it even features adjustable rabbit ears. Be careful, one inch to the left or right can make or break the picture clarity!

If you’re a Christmas TV special fiend, I dare you to spend less than ten minutes in retro TV nostalgia at Betamaxmas.
