- The Star (2017)
- A Charlie Brown Christmas

In no real order at all.
- Die Hard
- Mean Girls

Mean Girls? Interesting.
It has a Christmas song & dance and at least a couple of other Christmas scenes
How does violent night 2 compare?
Edit: whoops, I thought it was already out but it looks like it might start filming next year.
Well that’s great news!
A Blackadder Christmas Carol.
Oooo, good one.
Also, I forgot Mr. Bean S01E07 “Merry Christmas Mr. Bean”
Oh man, the turkey on the head thing.
For something a bit different, try Snow Queen from 2002 (live action, not the cartoon). It starts out like a generic Hallmark movie and goes entirely off the rails. It’s worth watching at least once.
Hogfather 2006 miniseries
Christmas Chronicles.
Kluas
Krampus
LOTR in my household.
They’re the perfect Thanksgiving movies for some reason.
-
Gremlins
-
Black Christmas (original, don’t like either of the remakes for wildly different reasons)
-
Rare Exports
-
Black Adder’s Christmas Carol
-
We watch many of yours, and also Trading Places.
Eating salmon through a filthy Santa beard. Delicious!
A Christmas Story is my go to and watched at least fully once. Ehh as fully as I can, I’m required to leave the room when he opens the bb gun from the old man. It makes husband emotional about his father and he prefers to do that alone so I go do something else until the scene is done.
The best Christmas trilogy:
- The Muppets Christmas Carol
- Scrooged
- Spirited
Also, make sure you watch the “full-length” Muppets, where the critical sad love ballad hasn’t been cut.
Agree about #1 movie choice. Hard disagree about the importance of the terrible ballad. :)
Krampus Elf Klaus Single all the Way for romantic schlock The Grinch Violent Night Terrifier 3 Whatever dumb new Xmas movie Netflix has
My in laws love A Christmas Story. One of my least favorites but I entertain
I like romantic schlock. I’ll check that out.
I loath Christmas Story and Charlie Brown. They are so damn depressing.
Rare Exports. Hogfather.
Santa’s Slay. It’s a B movie, and it knows it. But it’s good as long as you’re drinking spiked eggnog.
I do like it a lot myself.
No love for muppet Christmas Carol?!
- Muppet Christmas Carol -National Lampoons Christmas Vacation -Always Sunny Christmas Special -Die Hard -Lethal Weapon -Santa Claus is Coming to Towns -Home Alone 1 and 2 -Krampus -Violent Night
Oh and I forgot! I always watch the black and white Miracle on 34th Street while cooking on Thanksgiving after the parade.
