Mickey's Christmas Carol wasn't listed because it wasn't a theatrical release.

It actually was.

Fair point but it's not a feature film.

That said, people still deserve to know what the best version is.

DVDizzy.com:

It's possible to have been exposed to this short on no fewer than four DVDs: first, edited into the 2001 direct-to-video Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed In at the House of Mouse, then in a more complete form on Disc 2 of the Walt Disney Treasures' 2004 tin Mickey Mouse in Living Color, Volume Two, and again in a comparable pair of holiday short compilations, 2005's Classic Holiday Stories (Volume 9 in the Classic Cartoon Favorites line) and 2009's self-titled entry as the seventh and final volume in the Walt Disney Animation Collection: Classic Short Films series. (If you'd like, feel free to also count the 2009 repackaging of Mickey's Magical Christmas.)

Since Disney has been doing the worst damage cleaning up their films for Blu-ray, I suspect any of the older releases should be good.

The WD Treasures is 1.66:1, the later DVDs are 1.33:1 open matte. (why is this font small?)
