What is your favourite Christmas Movie you watch every year?

[CallMeKate]

The only one I'm sure to watch every year is It's a Wonderful Life.
Many years I also watch Miracle on 34th Street (original, NOT the remake!) because a part of it is a special memory for me.

Many fans of "A Christmas Story" don't seem to know about the other "Ralphie" tales.

Ollie Hopnoodle's Haven of Bliss (Full Movie)

The Star Crossed Romance of Josephine Cosnowski (Full Movie)

Non Religious: Miracle on 34th Street. If animation is allowed I will pick Prep and Landing, it’s a hoot.

Religious: There was a movie years ago that depicted the lives of Joseph, Mary and the birth of Jesus. Unlike most of the movies this one showed that them as real Jews living real lives in real communities under Roman rule. Not the overly pious, syrupy sweet, everybody has a halo stuff we usually see depicted. I have never seen it broadcast again.

I like the George C Scott Christmas Carol (I might be alone on this) and I also like It's a Wonderful Life. And, for a little Christmas action, the original Die Hard.

Welcome to the party, pal!

A Christmas Story is not only fun. It also reminds me so much of my youth.

 

[JustDave]

A Christmas Carol comes second. I think George C Scott's version is my favorite. He's a believable old grump.

 

[MaidMarian]

A Christmas Carol with Alastair Sim and It’s a Wonderful Life

 

[Cornhusker]

It's a Wondeful Life, A Christmas Story, Home Alone, (1 and 2), Polar Express and any of the old Claymation and Charlie Brown

"White Christmas" (1954)
"A Child's Christmas in Wales" (1987)

Almost any animated feature.

I always watch two of my favorite Christmas-themed Twilight Zone episodes every year (before the annual NYE marathon, that is): "The Changing of the Guard" (The Changing of the Guard (The Twilight Zone) - Wikipedia) and "The Night of the Meek" (The Night of the Meek (The Twilight Zone, 1959) - Wikipedia).

Both never fail to bring me to happy tears.

 

[OldFeller]

I don't watch it anymore but I loved it as a kid.

White Christmas​

The Family Stone

 

[Myquest55]

Muppet's Christmas Carol is also our favorite!! Especially the one without the long song in the middle. Apparently it is THE movie that best represents the Dicken's book. Otherwise, I like to "find" any other holiday film by happy accident and enjoy.

Along with Remember the Night, another good Stanwyck Christmas film is Christmas in Connecticut (1945), a Christmas romantic comedy, with a nice turn by Sydney Greenstreet. Great cast. charming story.

 

[MarkinPhx]

Not a movie but I watch the X-Files episode of "How the Ghosts Stole Christmas". Ed Asner and Lilly Tomlin are the guest stars. I always enjoyed the X File episodes that had a syrupy sentimental feel to them.

 

[Lilac]

In no particular order:

How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966)
A Christmas Story (1983)
Christmas in Connecticut (1945)
Love Actually (2003)
Krampus (2015)
Violent Night (2022)
The Shop Around the Corner (1940)
It Happened on Fifth Ave (1947)

I always liked Scrooge starring Albert Finney who was surprisingly good in the title role.
