 In the early 2000s, Chel White directed two stop motion animated children's television specials for Hallmark Channel.In reviewing the 2011 television holiday programs, Mike Hale of "The New York Times" called "Jingle All the Way (TV special)" "By far the best of the bunch.In addition to its charming art and pleasantly low-key storytelling, 'Jingle' stands apart from the other holiday programs by not focusing on the manufacturing or delivery of toys."
