The Most Anticipated New Winter Shows. The beloved holiday special How the Grinch Stole Christmas! is 50 this year. The collaboration between Chuck Jones, arguably the greatest animator of the 20th century, and Dr. Seuss, arguably the greatest children's book author of all time, first aired on CBS on December 18, 1966.
The Grinch first appeared in the May 1955 issue of Redbook in a thirty-two-line poem called The Hoobub and the Grinch, but made his book debut in the 1957 story How the Grinch Stole Christmas, written and illustrated by Dr. Seuss, published as both a Random House book and in an issue of Redbook magazine.
