"The Miracle on 34th Street" is the Christmas episode of the American anthology television series The 20th Century Fox Hour.[1] Broadcast on December 14, 1955, and was directed by Robert Stevenson, with stars Macdonald Carey, Teresa Wright, and Thomas Mitchell as Kris Kringle.

One reviewer claimed this version was an improvement over the original movie, stating, "shortening the tale has made it brighter and less saccharine."

Mr. Gimbel, played by Herbert Heyes, had played the same role in the original Miracle on 34th Street (1947). Of the five major versions, this is the only version of "Miracle on 34th Street" to be filmed completely in California (not counting stock footage or process shots). Besides cutting scenes and entire plot lines, the actors' delivery is rushed when compared to the original movie version.
