MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET
A CHRISTMAS STORY
Hmm... NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS?

Honorable mentions to "the Grinch," for sure, and the Mexican SANTA CLAUS. I also have a soft spot for SANTA AND THE ICE CREAM BUNNY as the most WTF? Xmas tale ever told.

The Muppet Christmas Carol is my all time favorite

I'd say It's A Wonderful Life and Nightmare Before Christmas are high atop the Christmas Movie List.
