A Flintstone Christmas is the second Christmas television special based on the animated television series The Flintstones (though it is the third Flintstones Christmas special in chronological order), originally aired on NBC on December 7, 1977. It is not to be confused with the original series episode "Christmas Flintstone", though the basic plot is more or less the same. The special has since re-aired on TNT, Cartoon Network, Boomerang, and once on ABC Family (as part of the 25 Days of Christmas).
