Favorite Christmas Movie

Both of these should be up there, but I chose Vacation. Extremely rewatchable.
Don’t patronize me.
Please stop with including Die Hard as an Xmas movie.
I’ll have to go with A Christmas Story, simply because my whole family likes it and we watch together.
Christmas Vacation and Bad Santa are both hilarious, and I wind up watching them alone since no one else in the house likes either.

Muppet Christmas Carol should be on there since it is the best version of that story period.

A Christmas Carol…1951 version with Alistair Sim. No other version is worthy.
So there are still hold outs out there. Who knew?
1984 with George C Scott is very good.
I don't get why A Christmas Carol is never on any list. Dickens played a huge role in making Christmas what it is today.
Of that list? Scrooged. Christmas Vacation is a close 2nd.
A lot of movies left off that list. Fred Claus is quickly rising in the ranks. Muppet Christmas Carol is damn near flawless.

rarely mentioned....but Gremlins is up there as well.
I am going to get slammed by some for saying this but Love Actually is a pretty good Christmas movie. At least to me. And I love most of the versions of a Christmas Carol.
Terrible list, good grief OP
Four Christmases seems to keep getting funnier every year. My favorite “recent” Xmas movie is The Night Before. Hilarious. Also office Christmas party was pretty funny last night

Rudolph TRNRD. FTW
Controversial take: NL Christmas Vacation is a complete bomb
even Julia Louis Dreyfus couldn’t save that piece of ****.

I just don't get what people see in that movie. Horrible.
Old Christmas Carol movies are best. Best Scrooges are Alastair Sim, George C Scott, Albert Finney, and Patrick Stewart. Honorable mention for an ineligible movie: Michael Caine.
Have seen that over 20 times.
Scrooged, Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story, A Charlie Brown Christmas, Emmet Otter's Jug-band Christmas, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and A Garfield Christmas Special are in my top tier.
Gremlins, Batman Returns, Die Hard, and Edward Scissorhands get honorable mentions. As does The Wizard of Oz; all through the '80s, my family usually watched one of its many annual Christmas week airings.
The Simpsons's "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire" and South Park's "Woodland Critter Christmas" are favorite television Christmas episodes, same with a number of The Office Christmas episodes.
I've never seen It's a Wonderful Life or Miracle on 34th Street.

One thing I wish Scrooged had a little bit better of: editing and production. Too many scenes needed to be reshot, inexplicable scene cuts and jumps, etc
Still love this movie from top to bottom.. but I do laugh at times when I watch it every year and think "who was editing this?!".
"Adored! Ahhhh ha.. Let's be honest, Lou.. you paid for the women!

Die Hard and Trading Places are Christmas movies to me and what, no mention of Tim Allen's the Santa Clause?
