I'll watch (and enjoy) all of them, but the only one I'd go out of my way to see is Charlie Brown, so he gets my vote.

I had to with Charlie Brown as my favorite. I do enjoy The Grinch, Rudolph and Frosty the snowman as well. I can't wait to watch the new Shrek Christmas special. I have it on the DVR to watch this weekend.

Other for myself, I don't usually like any of the TV specials. I'm more of a Charles Dickens person myself. I like the George C Scott (1984), Reginald Owen (1938), or one of my favorites The Muppet Version (1992- hilarious).
I was never a fan of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, I like the songs and the story but for me the cheesy effects are what gets me. Same goes for Frosty the Snowman, and The Little Drummer Boy. Charlie Brown is too depressing for me. How the Grinch Stole Christmas I kind of like, but I won't go out of my way to watch it or even buy the DVD. The Year Without a Santa Claus and Santa Claus is Coming to Town I have never seen so I haven't got an opinion about them yet.

The Muppets Christmas Carol is also another favorite of mine!!!

The Grinch, The Polar Express, and The Muppet Christmas Carol (IMO the best version out there for every reason imaginable)
I don't really watch the claymation specials, but I love all the music from The Year Without A Santa Claus even if the story is sort of... odd. If I see it coming up on tv, I'll usually try to make a point to see it. Although Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas In July is my favorite holiday claymation special.
I remember watching the Frosty movies over and over again when I was little around Christmas time. Next time I see those will be too soon.

Claymation Chirstmas!
I love all the specials. I think the writer strike is contributing to the fact that they all seem to be on regular TV this year, but with my lack of cable I'm sure not complaining. The old videos are good, but the newly remastered versions are even better. I have to watch them all every year!

The sentimental favorite is Charlie Brown (...you're the Charlie Browniest...) but I do enjoy watching all of them.
The Claymation special was awesome. Is that one even on anymore?

I voted for Rudolph (and all the classic ones like that), because I loved them growing up, but after watching them recently the humor is actually still pretty funny and they have some more adult type humor included.
However, I should have voted for "Other" when I saw from other posts here the Muppet Christmas Carol was left out! My wife and I have it on DVD and watch it at least twice during the holidays. It's so perfect. And of course, Sam Eagle is the best part:
Sam: Oh, you will love business. It is the American way.
Gonzo: Uh, Sam? *whispers in his ear*
Sam: Oh. It is the British way!
