Muppet Christmas Carol
post
It may be predictable, but A Christmas Story. I grew up with it and the 24 hour marathon with my parents and for the most part we still keep the tradition alive with my family. Wrap gifts to it, open gifts to it, waiting to eat dinner and still watching it. Of course you only see snip its throughout the day so its not like I see it 20 times, but more likely around 4 times in a year.
It’s a Wonderful Life
Love Actually
Home Alone
A Christmas Story
Die Hard
In no particular order:
- National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
- Elf
- Scrooged
- Miracle on 34th Street (1947)
- Star Wars Holiday Special (I know. Please don't judge too harshly)
- Violent Night
- A Christmas Horror Story
- A Christmas Story
- At least one of the Rankin/Bass stop motion christmas movies
- How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966)
Plus others, but those are the ones that tend to get played every year.
The Man Who Invented Christmas has quickly become a favorite. I've always been a sucker for A Christmas Carol and love every iteration of it. Especially the Muppets and Scrooged. But this is a new take on it with the focus on the writing of the book. "And Tiny Tim who DID NOT die..."
Tokyo Godfathers (2003) and The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)
Die Hard
And Klaus.
Die Hard and Violent Night
I love The Man Who Invented Christmas, because I'm a sucker for Dan Stevens, and a follow up with The Muppets Christmas Carol is the best.
Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)
How come no one says Die Hard 2?
That's also set on Christmas eve

Home Alone and The Santa Clause for the kids. Love Actually for the parents.
Scrooged.
Just so packed with knock out one-liners, plus the monologue Bill Murray gives at the end is incredible.

One modern one that deserves a mention: 8-Bit Christmas.
That one will likely stick around for us. So well done.

The Polar Express is the only one I usually watch for Christmas. I don't watch a ton of holiday movies but that one brings back memories as a kid.
