  • Alpha's Magical Christmas is a direct-to-video Christmas special based on the Saban Entertainment television series Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, originally released on October 19, 1994 as a fan club-exclusive video. Like the similar Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Christmas video We Wish You a Turtle Christmas, which was released around the same time, Alpha's Magical Christmas is notoriously known for being of poor production quality and having a barren, nonsensical story.
  • Alpha's Magical Christmas was an out-of-universe direct-to-video Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Christmas special released on October 19th, 1994 as a Power Rangers Fan Club exclusive. The special features Alpha 5 (the special's main star) singing Christmas carols with numerous children from around the world, because his friends are busy helping Santa Claus and he feels neglected, ignored and alone (again apparently) as a result.

abstract
  • Alpha's Magical Christmas was an out-of-universe direct-to-video Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Christmas special released on October 19th, 1994 as a Power Rangers Fan Club exclusive. The special features Alpha 5 (the special's main star) singing Christmas carols with numerous children from around the world, because his friends are busy helping Santa Claus and he feels neglected, ignored and alone (again apparently) as a result. This special was made in an attempt to increase Alpha 5's popularity with the fans and give him a starring role in a Power Rangers project, as he had a supporting role through most of the episodes that he was on at the time and after. But it didn't work as intended, as most people do not enjoy the special very much (see "Criticism and Praise" section below). It has been claimed by Richard Horvitz that the special, despite its infamy, is a smart marketing idea, however Alpha did not get any official merchandise for 16 years after the special was produced (see "Notes" section below). Despite its infamy among the PR community, Alpha's Magical Christmas is notable for being the first and only Christmas special to center around a supporting character in the early PR franchise; in this case it is Alpha 5. It is also notable for being the only special in the franchise to mention God and Jesus Christ, at least in song. Like the similar Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Christmas video We Wish You a Turtle Christmas, which was also released around the same time, Alpha's Magical Christmas is notoriously known for being of poor production quality and having a barren, nonsensical (albeit Alpha 5-centric) story.
