This Christmas film, created as a special for television broadcast throughout the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania viewing region, was produced by puppeteer Mabel Beaton and her husband Les for Bell Telephone Company and first aired in 1953.

From 1953 onward, for several years, The Spirit of Christmas was broadcast in the intended region multiple times per holiday season.
