Who doesn’t love a touch of nostalgia during the holidays? This year my kids will be thrilled to see some of their old Nickelodeon favorites available and waiting for them under the tree. Here’s our list of old favorites available now.
1. Danny Phantom., the complete series. Released in January, 2014 from Shout Factory, this nine disc set focuses on the adventures of fourteen year old Danny. He’s a good natured teen who lives with his ghost hunting parents and older sister, Jasmine. A freak accident leaves Danny half ghost and half human. Danny suddenly finds himself fighting ghost attacks on his city and trying to keep his secret from everyone but his two best friends. We still get a kick out of seeing Danny battling his arch-rival, half-ghost, Vlad.
2. Hey Arnold, the complete series. Released as a Walmart exclusive in November, 2014, Hey Arnold focuses on fourth grader Arnold, who lives with his grandparents in the city of Hillwood. Arnold is an easy going kid who faces every day problems, like constant bullying from his classmate, Helga. He tries to help everyone around him and always sees the best in people, even when they might not deserve it. One of our favorite characters is Abner, Arnold’s pet pot-bellied pig, who barely escaped being turned into bar-b-que pork by Arnold’s grandfather.
3. Thunder and the House of Magic. This movie was new to us, but based on our love of cats, I knew we had to see it. It’s an animated movie based on Thunder, an abandoned kitten. One day, seeking shelter from a storm, he wanders into an old house owned by an eccentric magician and his collection of animals. Thunder feels at home with this strange menagerie and loves living there. When his new home is threatened by the Magician’s evil nephew, it is up to Thunder and the other animals to save the home.
4. Just Dance 2015. Okay, I can say this is for the kids to help keep them in shape, but it is really for me. I love the Just Dance series. I spend my time singing the latest hits to give me motivation when I try to clean the house, so having Just Dance to use for exercise makes exercise seem fun. This year, the tape includes hits by artists such as Katy Perry (“Dark Horse”), Rixton (“Me and My Broken Heart”) and 5 Seconds of Summer (“She Looks so Perfect”). It’s a good way to stay in shape while the weather outside is frightful. I will even share it with the kids as long as they listen to me singing along. Just Dance, distributd by Ubisoft, is available for Wii, XBox and Playstation.
What are your movie and game picks for this year?
Just dance would be so fun for my kids. They are little dancing machines!
What a fun line up! I bet when my son is older he would love all of these!!
Oh my goodness, I LOVED Hey Arnold when I was a kid!! I cant believe they released it on DVD-super cool.
It has been quite awhile since I’ve heard about Hey Arnold!, but that was always my favorite. 🙂
Hey Arnold and Just Dance are HUGE at our house! I need to get the new Just Dance. Love watching the kids do it
Great lineup! I loved Nick growing up, and have passed that love on to my kids as well.
My girls are Just Dance fanatics. I love that it gets them up and moving.
I must have been living under a rock not to have heard of any of those but I do know just dance
Im such a 90s Kids! I loved Hey Arnold growing up and I know its still a cartoon kids can enjoy today!
I have to introduce my kids to Danny Phantom! I have shown them Hey Arnold, one of my childhood favorites!!!
I am just getting both my boys one big gift to share. A wooden tool bench. I can’t stand these toys with a million pieces.
My daughter wants maleficent and my son wants Peabody and sherman. we love just dance and I’d love to get 2015 but we have no electronics Christmas every other year.
Just Dance is on my niece’s wish list too! I miss the Hey Arnold show!

My son would surely love those and I think I’m going to love Just Dance too. I love singing while doing chores. That’s perfect. 🙂
We haven’t had cable for ages so kiddo doesn’t watch Nickelodeon here. I remember watching it as a kid. ‘You Can’t Do That on Television’ was one of my favorites.
These are great entertainment for kids, for sure! My kids love them all. we actually have a Danny Phantom book series here which is a loved option for the boys!
These are great suggestions! Nick shows are awesome. I was a huge fan of Hey Arnold when I was younger.
That looks like a bunch of fun shows for the kids to watch. I think my kids maybe watched Hey Arnold, but they may have been older.
Great movie choices. My kids love Thunder and the House of Magic and have watched it over and over. A really well done movie!
I loved Hey Arnold when I was younger. I hope my son grows up to enjoy it too.
Ha! OMG I totally forgot about danny phantom!
The Just Dance series is fun (for the kids and for us 😉 ). This is a great shopping guide!
I loved Nickelodeon as a kid. Glad they’re still producing these now.
Ahhh Hey Arnold! Don’t laugh but I still watch that show! My brother was obsessed with Danny Phantom. Sigh. Nostalgia.
Love those products! My nephew’s crazy about Danny Phantom!
Nickelodeon has great films! Love the Just Dance series!!
I haven’t even considered movies or games for my wish list this year. The new Just Dance 2015 looks like a lot of fun though!
I am excited to try Just Dance 2015. My daughter and i love to compete against each other.
I love the Just Dance series. It’s a lot of fun for the kids and me!
I would love to watch Thunder and the House of Magic! The animals are so cute!
These are all great suggestions! I remember some of these from when I was younger!
I love that TMNT are back from Nickelodeon. My son loves them almost as much as my husband did.
Great list! My oldest would love all these! My girls and dancing too would as well!
Good list. Your kids will love it.
My son does like a few of the Nick shows. I don’t think we have seen any of the ones you shared. And he really wants and Xbox for Christmas.
My girls really love to dance and request those Just Dance games every year. We are definitely picking up the 2015 for them this year!
My girls used to watch Hey Arnold every now and then. I guess I’m getting old though and haven’t heard of some of the others.
You make me want to start shopping immediately! These are super fun ideas!
My kids love that show Danny Phantom! Lots of great ideas, Pam!!
This totally brought back memories – ARNOLD! <3 Love that.
I agree it brought back a lot of good memories. I miss the snuggle time while watching cartoons.
When my son was little I use to sit and watch Danny Phantom with him. I am going to get this and put it in his stocking.
Omg danny phantom!! I so remember that show lol….
Nickelodeon has a lot of classic show. Kids would really love to see this titles.
They do have a lot of classics. Just think – someday Spongebob will be one of them 😉
My daughter used to love watching Danny Phantom and Hay Arnold! She would probably still like to receive one of these DVDs lol!
