I've looked at a fair amount of Christmas memorabilia based around the Hanna-Barbera characters this month, but now, it's time to look at the more random and odd holiday items based around their most famous franchise, The Flintstones! Jumping right into things, here are two Flintstones Christmas cards from the tail end of the 80s, featuring Fred and Wilma in both their classic and Flintstones Kids looks.
Here's a set of four Flintstones gift cards, featuring a shorter-than-usual version of Fred Flintstone.
Up next is a Flintstones stocking and a set of nametags, both released in 1994.
Here's one more Christmas card, although this card is more on the recent side (I don't know quite when it was produced, unfortunately). A little disappointing that they used the same render of Fred on both the outside and inside.
And, of course, no look at Flintstones Christmas merch would be complete without mentioning Fruity Pebbles! The cereal has had many special editions and commercials tied into the holidays. Here's one such advertisement from 1995. This is actually an alternate version of an ad released several years earlier, with the most notable change here being Jim Cummings as the voice of Santa.
The "artwork" on those gift cards looks to have been provided by Charlton Comics' Flinstones line. Pure eye poison.
