Die Hard
Dear Santa
Red One
Elf
Home Alone

The Nutcracker and the Four Realms
 
George C. Scott

Yukon Cornelius
Burl Ives
.... and The Snowman.. when ourPBS plays the soundtrack ... I float!!!
 
I'm surprised no one's mentioned A Christmas Story, we always watch it at some point,
and if it's on a channel for 24 hours we put that on.
Also It's a Wonderful Life
All of the Christmas shows from the 60's & 70's
including The Year Without a Santa Claus, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Frosty the Snowman, Peanuts, etc.
 
The staples:

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
A Christmas Story
Home Alone + Home Alone 2 (the ONLY two in that series that exist in my mind)
Elf

Along with any new stuff and Hallmark Christmas movies that come out.

Also, the Christmas episodes of The Office

Me too - I always watch it on Christmas Eve as a wrap presents. Then I just leave it on if it's on. I love it!

I'm not big on Christmas movies in general, but another one that gets a watch is Muppet's Christmas Carol.
 
Only one I've watched this year is
Elf, and part of Die Hard
Probably watch Christmas Story, some of It's a Wonderful Life, and hopefully can find a showing of A Christmas Carol w Patrick Stewart
Might find some Christmas episodes of TV shows, like the Middle, and watch all those.
 
We will watch Christmas Story, just haven't gotten to it yet.
Also Muppets Christmas Carol.....dd's Favorite since she was little.
We will watch Red One on Christmas Eve
 
Christmas Carol - The Muppets, Capt. Picard & the newer, darker one that came out a few years ago
Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas
Christmas Vacation
Home Alone 1 & 2
The older animated ones from when we were kids
Christmas with the Kranks
The Danny Devito one
Krampus
Christmas Story
White Christmas
Various TV sitcom/show Christmas episodes
Rick Steve's European Christmas

Love lots of Christmas films. But two of my favorites are:

- White Christmas (1954)
- A Child's Christmas in Wales (1987)
 
I've mostly been watching Hallmark Christmas movies this year, but I like lots of the ones listed above as well! I'll probably watch It's a Wonderful Life tomorrow, and we always turn on the marathon of A Christmas Story at some point as well.
 
I do also like Die Hard, though I don't necessarily watch it for Christmas as a "Christmas Movie." I did actually recently watch all five of them though, just becuase the mood struck me.
 
Die Hard
Christmas Vacation
Elf
The Holiday
Peanuts Christmas
Christmas with the Kranks
Home Alone
It’s a Wonderful Life
Christmas Carol- Smurfs, Muppets, Mickey, Flintstones
 
Gremlins and Die Hard. Both of which are set at Christmas but were released in theaters in June. Neither are true Christmas movies in my opinion. But they are the only two I’ve seen this year. Both because of their odd inclusion on Christmas movie lists.
 
Kids use to always watch Harry Potter marathons. Use to like original Bishops wife and a couple others Id try to catch, Charlie Brown if I catch will watch as well. Kinda longing to see Scrooged again but do not make a habit of it.
So is trading places a Christmas Movie.
