Last Christmas, I put out a post focusing on some of the various holiday cards Hanna-Barbera gave out over the years. I enjoyed doing that one a lot, so I thought I'd revisit it this year. With how long the company was in business, chances are I'll do another one of these next year. Until then, I hope you enjoy the following Christmas cards of years past.
I'm sharing these in chronological order, starting off with this massive one from 1967. Santa's in the middle of delivering presents, but instead of reindeer, it's some of the various Hanna-Barbera animals. A fun crossover, even if in all honesty, Atom Ant could've done this all on his own.
Here's a very Flintstones-centric card from 1990. As this was the series' 30th anniversary, it makes sense they'd take center stage this year. We see the Flintstones and Rubbles in a sleigh above Bedrock, while Dino is their reindeer. A good card, but I wish there wasn't that border around it.
This next one isn't technically a Hanna-Barbera card, but a Warner Brothers one. Issued in 1996, the same year Turner and Warner merged, here is a card showing all their characters (or assets if you prefer corporate lingo) as one big happy family. It's one of the more interesting pieces in this series, and it's also kind of strange that the Hanna-Barbera library got more representation here than the Looney Tunes. Even the Real Adventures version of Jonny Quest is here, and he almost tanked the merger!
That's all I've got today, but I'll put out one more post tomorrow before the holiday arrives. It won't be anything major, but I think you'll enjoy it. Until then, have the happiest of holidays!
