Putting together my List right now..like Mariah Carey says "It's Time" GO!
So many to choose from - National Lampoon Xmas Vacation
National Lampoon Xmas Vacation - A CLASSIC!
A totally underrated movie is Rise of the Guardians.
It technically takes place during Easter but Santa is in it and he’s fantastic so it counts. 😁
Bad Santa
And though it is a comedy the scenes with John Ritter and Bernie Mac together are poignant because both died so suddenly so young.
National Lampoon. Greatest of all time!!
Other than the top dog xmas vacation? lol Elf, A Christmas Story, and a weirdo one : Muppets Christmas Carol
Planes trains and automobiles
Still remember the first time I watched it as a kid with my family
A Christmas Story is my all time favorite! 😍😍 But I also love Christmas Vacation, Elf, The Santa Clause, and pretty much any version of A Christmas Carol.
OMG I forgot about Muppets Christmas Carol...the animation ones were the best; Yogi Bear Christmas Special
White Christmas George C. Scott version of Christmas Carol
The Grinch 💚
Home Alone and The Santa Clause
Die hard. 😎 because why not?
Definitely Die Hard.
And Violent Night, why not 😅
Love Actually
@WriterGF I, too, am fond of the George C. Scott version of A Christmas Carol. @SweetPeaJen I also like A Christmas Story (you'll put your eye out!)
Before I moved away from Seattle, Die Hard in "Hecklevision" was always a joy at Central Cinema in Capitol Hill. Nothing like adding your own subtitles lmao.
Jingle Jangle on Netflix. I have watched it every year since its release. I want to buy it on DVD. I don't like this not owning stuff I pay for.
I can't believe no one has mentioned Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer the version narrated by Burl Ives. Christmas tradition at my house growing up the whole family watched it.
In no particular order: Christmas with the Kranks A Christmas story Die hard (always) The Santa Claus Trading places Cat in the hat- with the kids, Mike Myers is hilarious 🐈 🎩 All things, the Grinch.. If I catch frosty or Rudolph, I’ll leave the channel on. Classics Home alone, the original I did like - The Best Christmas pageant ever last year as well And can’t forget the delulu movies on the lifetime channel while baking and cooking… 🧑🍳
@Ariel74 That's the top of mine too!
@DaveFromSussex Violent Night!! Nice pull. I totally forgot that one. Now I have a rewatch to get to. 😁
Have several that are required viewing each year:
Home Alone Home Alone 2 Die Hard Its a Wonderful Life White Christmas Also a couple Christmas episodes of MASH
Sometimes I try to get through the entire Star Wars Holiday Special .... but I just cant watch the whole thing in one sitting. Even all these years later, its still that bad.
Die Hard (Christmas Eve)
A Muppet Family Christmas (everyone goes to Fozzie's Mom's house- but she was supposed to go away on vacation)
Emmett Otters Jugband Christmas.
@LetsCuddle44 I still watch emmet otters jugband Christmas multiple times a year!
The Polar Express The Man Who Invented Christmas
The Christmas Story, I watch it ever year And I got to tour the actual house in Cleveland, OH I also make sure I turn on my Leg Lamp
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer from 1964 Frosty the Snowman 1969 Mickey's Christmas Carol. I guess all the favorites i liked growing up. Reminds me of being a kid and me and my brother sitting on the floor and my Mom and even Dad watching Rudolph with us.
Home Alone and Elf definitely are at the top of the list. Elf is being played in most theaters this season
