While the ‘90s were only a few decades ago, the way we celebrate Christmas has changed quite a bit. Back then, holiday cheer was measured by circling toys in catalogs, picking up holiday movies from Blockbuster, and finding a Game Boy under the tree.
Not to mention the joy of hearing "All I Want for Christmas Is You" for the first time and hurriedly going to the mall to see it all lit up and decked out for the occasion.
Does that sound familiar? If so, this list might just be for you. We at Bored Panda have collected some of the most nostalgia-inducing memorabilia that made Christmas in the ‘90s. To keep the holiday spirit going, let’s all scroll through the pictures that perfectly capture what festivities were like just over three decades ago.

Still The Best Christmas Movie
steven mayes 1 year ago
Quite possibly the best version ever. Michael Caine was brilliant. Well worth a watch.
Lacey MaRae Thomas 1 year ago
This movie shaped my holiday spirit as a young teen. Truly a great film!
For those who weren't born in this decade, the ‘90s was a time when our obsession with Kevin McCallister started and kids were fighting over what to watch on TV—Muppet Christmas Carol or Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas.
Many iconic films came from this decade that we still tune into today. Some of them include The Nightmare Before Christmas, Jingle All the Way, and Jack Frost.

Interestingly, despite the cheerful associations with Christmas movies from this time, in retrospect, they aren’t that really joyful.
In the 1990s and 1994 in particular, holiday movies were quite dark. For example, a story like The Santa Claus was defined by divorce; Miracle on 34th Street was about a court procedure; and in the famous Home Alone, a boy was abandoned by his family and attacked by robbers.

And the little strings that got bigger over time. Uugh. We had them when I was growing up. Not just the ball shapes, but the funky UFO shaped ones, too. By the time the 90's came round, I think we'd officially gotten rid of them. Since I was the last kid and mostly grown (18 in 1990) we switched to glass ornaments. Maybe had a few of these left and put on the bottom the tree for the cat.

We never got one back then. My brother was given my grandparent's one when they moved into a nursing home 10 years ago.
However, these films aimed to show people that holidays can’t fix a broken marriage or that some adults tend to disappoint their kids. And that makes sense for the era, as the mid-'90s saw the rise of grunge, with people resisting the status quo and fighting for cultural changes.

Back then, upcoming holiday films were published in TV magazines like Radio Times, which included the best recommendations for everything shown over the festive period. People would flick through the magazine, pick, and circle the best movies that were a must-watch. It might seem weird to us that people would organize what to watch weeks in advance, but that’s how it was done without the magic of rewinding.

I just read an article a few days ago, supposedly the parents needed to make $300,000+ to afford the house. Then again, it's Hollywood and they always exaggerate houses. They only had 4 kids and in the first movie they didn't pay for the flight, the uncle they were visiting paid for them. Also, some people concluded the mom was a fashion designer, hence all the mannequins in the house. It was an interesting article.

Way before that. I remember JCP & Sears Christmas catalogues from the 70s
Over the years, different trends, films, and television have influenced the must-have Christmas toys of the year. In the '90s, many kids circled them (a lot of circling was done) while flicking through the Toys R Us or Argos catalog to add to their wish list for Santa. Now, we couldn’t imagine children playing with them or parents queueing up at 6 a.m. to get their hands on them. The latter most likely looked like something from the movie Jingle All the Way.

So. While the quality has drastically improved, I have dozens of 3 inch binders filled with something like sheet protectors with pockets. Every single pocket occupied by a stamp.

sara fulmer 1 year ago
I recorded my best friend and I poorly singing the opening song to the movie Christmas Vacation. Still remember all the words
The Talkboy came into existence after it was used by Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone 2. Before the film, the toy actually never existed. While writing a sequel, the creator, John Hughes, knew that in certain situations (like while booking a suite at the Plaza Hotel) Kevin would need to pass as an adult.
So he included a futuristic recording device in his script that would allow the boy to change his voice. Together with toy companies, they came up with a silver device that featured a microphone and a cassette tape for recording sound and conversations.
The demand for the toy was so high that it was almost impossible for them to keep up. It continued to be popular beyond the 1993 holiday season, and in 1995, they introduced Talkgirl, a purple and pink version of the original.

The ‘90s also gifted us many jingle hits that withstood the test of time, just like Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” and NSYNC’s “Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays.” Her 1994 hit is considered a holiday classic, with Billboard ranking it number one on its list of the Greatest of All Time Holiday 100 Songs.
The tune was written very early in the singer’s career on her little Casio keyboard. It was the first Christmas song she ever wrote, and she definitely didn’t expect it to become an icon of the '90s, let alone of all time.

Taking this nostalgic journey through the festivities of this decade, it's clear that the holiday season back then was a combination of iconic movies, toys, and memorable music. The Game Boy or Tickle Me Elmo might not have withstood the test of time, but the popular Christmas films and jingles have sneakily entered the 21st century and don’t seem to be leaving any time soon. And we’re totally fine with that!

My family and I would have to leave it alone so it would fall asleep and it was so nerve wracking to pick it up and move it while it was sleeping because sometimes that would wake it up.

When my brother and I moved out and had to split the Legos he got the Castle and I got the Pirate ship. ☠️ the rest was by weight.

My Gram Always Had Fruit Delights During Christmas Time In The 90s. They Are The First Thing I Look For When The Christmas Stuff Starts Coming Out

Turkish Delight! We still buy these every year as a Christmas treat! The Dessert Delights and Berry Delights are scrumptious!

Bought 3 boxes this Christmas, 2 for me, 1 for a friend. But the name now is Applets and Cottlets. Apple, Apricot and Walnut candies from the NW.

Throwback Christmas Circa, 1990
v 1 year ago (edited)
The important component of this picture is the circa late 70s/early 80s console TV still being functional (as more than a shelf). Though not a console TV, I got rid of my last tube TV in April of 2005. That TV was about 10 or so years old at the time. In the intervening 18 years I've gone through 6 or 7 flat screens.

Star Trek And Star Wars Christmas Ornaments From The 90s. It Cost Less Than 8 Dollars
LauraDragonWench 1 year ago
I should add, Hallmark ornaments in general. Starting in the mid-to-late 80s, it was a family tradition that each one of us got our own special ornament (which got exponentially more difficult to pick out as more and more awesome designs came out - Star Trek and Star Wars were the worst because there were always multiple choices and all were awesome). I have 2 plastic storage containers full of past ornaments and they'll be with me until I croak.

Christmas ornaments would come out and all the sudden Hallmark wasn't so Lame to go in with your mom

Christmas '98
Rita Rose 1 year ago
At Xmas as a kid my family would take turns opening our presents so we could all enjoy what other people got too... However I know soooo many other families that just rip into their gifts all at the same time or as soon as they wake up and I've never understood why.... Maybe with a bigger family it would take too long to take turns 🤷♀️.... Anyone wanna chime in with their experiences?

We’d (3 kids) start by taking turns but it would descend into chaotic frenzy eventually, too much excitement. The clutter of gifts and wrapping and plastic and twine, the rush for fresh batteries and screw drivers to assemble toys, that may be seen by some as overconsumption and capitalistic American greed but truly was the magic of Christmas—embrace the chaos and the splurge. So fun.

This Box Has Not Been Opened Since 1995, It Smells Like The 90's
I remember seeing boxes like this on top of the shelves at "Hooked on Toys" and "Walmart", I always fantasized about what it was like to open all the boxes.

That's why we were always a system behind, had to wait on the new systems to come out so they'd drop the price on the older model lol

I Definitely Had These

Every single year, starting in the 60’s, we ALWAYS got an apple and an orange in our stockings that were knitted by my Grandmother. I have no idea why this was a tradition but I carried it on when I had my daughter

These stockings are part of my 1950's childhood. Looking at them now these stockings look like they're more for adults. Not much candy.

I've never saw them with fruit and nuts. The ones like these in the UK had Mara bars, milky ways etc

Constantly Having To Pick Up These Outdoor Light-Up Candle Decorations As They Were Hollow And Frequently Knocked Down By The Wind
Awesome At Being Autistic 1 year ago
We never had a problem. My dad just sunk a couple of pieces of rebar lengths into the lawn, and then put the candles over that. When it's time to put the decorations away, the rebar stores in the candles. Simple.

For Some Inexplicable Reason, Having A Penguin Ornament On Your Christmas Tree. Why Were Penguin Ornaments Such A Trend?
Joshua David 1 year ago
Penguins are always in style. That and they're known to be cold weather species.

Yes, but they live in the Southern hemisphere where it's summer at Christmas. They just don't make any sense as part of the Christmas decor in the Northern hemisphere.
