Well, first of all, Michael Caine is best Scrooge.

(Muppet Christmas Carol)

And of course Die Hard is a Christmas movie.

The usual family classics like the Charlie Brown & Garfield Christmas specials, all the Rankin/Bass specials, the first two Home Alones (shame they never made any more), newer classics like The Santa Clause and Elf…

But also a few that are a bit esoteric.

Santa’s Magic Toy Bag - From the creators of Alf, a cute and short morality tale about an elf that can’t find his place in Santa’s workshop.
The Snowman - A sad and wonderful story about a boy who builds a snowman that comes to (an all too short) life.
The Christmas Toy - A Jim Henson production, two toys risk being seen moving on their own to stop new Christmas toys from replacing them. Sounds a bit like Toy Story, right?

Others that I still remember fondly but haven’t seen in a long time are The Berenstain Bears Christmas Tree, A Muppet Family Christmas, Ziggy’s Christmas Wish, and The Chipmunk’s Christmas.
