Building off the video I shared this past Friday, here's a nice collection of holiday-themed print advertisements for several Hanna-Barbera releases on VHS. This first one appears to be from 1983, and promotes a set of Yogi and Scooby hand puppets that come packaged with that year's Christmas video offerings.
This second ad is from 1988, and shows off a horde of HB characters caroling, alongside an assortment of HB video tapes. You probably recognize the art featured in this ad, as it's been used in many Christmas items featuring the Hanna-Barbera characters, including the Christmas Sing-a-long video shown in this.
Last but not least, we have one from 1996, at which point Turner had taken over the Hanna-Barbera studio, including management of its titles on home video. Considering this was right around the same time as the merger with Time Warner, I imagine this was also the last print ad created before Warner's home video department inherited the library. Like a lot of Hanna-Barbera titles at this time, these were also labeled as part of the "Cartoon Network Video" collection.
