===Television===
A 1955 one-hour television adaptation of the movie starred [[Thomas Mitchell (actor)|Thomas Mitchell]] as Kris, [[Macdonald Carey]] as Fred, [[Teresa Wright]] as Doris, and [[Sandy Descher]] as Susan. This version did not show the drunken Santa at all. Titled ''[[The Miracle on 34th Street (The 20th Century Fox Hour)|The Miracle on 34th Street]]'', it originally aired as an episode of ''[[The 20th Century Fox Hour]]''. It was later re-run as "Meet Mr. Kringle".

[[Ed Wynn]] played Kris in a [[Miracle on 34th Street (NBC Friday Night Special Presentation)|1959 television adaptation]] of the movie. Also featured was [[Orson Bean]]. It was broadcast live and in color on [[NBC]] the day after Thanksgiving. NBC made a [[kinescope]] of the program, probably for broadcasting opening night on the West Coast. The copy was in a large collection of kinescopes donated by NBC to the [[Library of Congress]] and later unearthed by Richard Finegan, who reported his experiences in the December 2005 issue of ''Classic Images''.

A [[Miracle on 34th Street (1973 film)|1973 television version]] featured [[Jane Alexander]], [[David Hartman (TV personality)|David Hartman]], [[Roddy McDowall]], [[Sebastian Cabot (actor)|Sebastian Cabot]] as Kris (without his natural beard; he was forced to shave and wear a false beard for the role), Suzanne Davidson, [[Jim Backus]], [[David Doyle (actor)|David Doyle]] and [[Tom Bosley]]. It was adapted by Jeb Rosebrook from the George Seaton screenplay, and directed by [[Fielder Cook]]. Mrs. Walker's first name is changed to Karen in this version. This would prove to be the final version in which the department store was Macy's. David Doyle, who played R. H. Macy in this version, had played Mr. Sawyer in the original Broadway cast of ''Here's Love'' 10 years earlier.

In 2012, the flagship [[Macy's Herald Square|Macy's Department Store at Herald Square]] in New York City featured a 30-minute puppet version of the story within its Santaland display, featuring the voices of Broadway stars [[Brian Stokes Mitchell]] and [[Victoria Clark]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Miracle on 34th Street at Macy's Puppet Theatre |url=https://www.timeout.com/newyork/things-to-do/miracle-on-34th-street-at-macys-puppet-theatre |website=TimeOut |date=March 15, 2012 |access-date=25 December 2020}}</ref>
