The special’s initial reception was somewhat uncertain, as CBS executives were hesitant about its slow pace and use of children’s voices. Though, it garnered significant positive feedback from critics and viewers, ultimately becoming one of the highest-rated television specials of all time. It has been re-aired annually since its debut, cementing its place in American holiday tradition.
