Who doesn't like watching a little kid beat up two grown ups with his masterful traps? :P These movies have to be the best Christmas movies ever because they're so funny without losing the Christmas spirit! I have tons of memories of watching it. I swear, I have seen all of the Home ALone movies at least 4 times and I honestly haven't beocme sick of them yet. That tells you it must be decent, eh?

WAY different cast from the series, but enjoyable. Richard Thomas is and was a genius actor.

M$This classic made-for-TV Christmas movie premiered in 1964 and it's been delighting generations of kids ever since. It tells the story of Rudolph, a reindeer with a nose that lights up. He's looking for a place where he belongs. Special guest appearances by the Abominable Snowman and the misfit toys make this movie extra-special.
* Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town
Who doesn't have childhood memories of this innovative claymation TV movie from 1970(made with the same stop-motion animation as Rudolph) is also an old holiday favorite. It's about Kris Kringle - the man who becomes Santa Claus - and how he brings toys to children in a town that has outlawed them. What makes this movie a Christmas classic is the fearsome Winter Warlock's transformation into a compassionate wizard with the wonderful song "Put One Foot In Front of the Other."
* A Christmas Carol
Based on a story by Charles Dickens about an old miser named Scrooge who learns compassion when three ghosts visit him on Christmas Eve, this makes a great holiday movie because it's thrilling and it has a nice message. With a variety of "remakes" (1976, 1977, 1999, or 2000) viewers have a true ability to choose their favorite.
* How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Whether you are talking about the most recent version starring Jim Carey or the original 1966 animated classic is the only version that does justice to Dr. Seuss. In it, the Grinch (a non-human Scrooge) tries to ruin Christmas for the Whos in Whoville by stealing their presents, trees, and holiday treats. Of course, the Grinch has a change of heart and finds love and friendship with the Whos.
* A Charlie Brown Christmas
Charlie Brown becomes the director of the school holiday pageant and goes out with Linus to buy an aluminum tree for the show. Instead, they bring back a forlorn real tree. Our hapless hero finds himself dismayed by the rampant commercialization of the holidays and searches for the true meaning of Christmas.
* It's a Wonderful Life
What holiday movie list would be complete without this 1946 Frank Capra classic, starring James Stewart? A man about to commit suicide during the holidays because he's financially ruined is stopped by an angel who shows him what life would be like if he'd never existed. It's a charming movie - part romance, part pathos, and a celebration of life.
* Miracle on 34th Street
A true classic, in this 1947 movie, a Macy's executive tries to find a new store Santa. She hires an old man named Kris Kringle who claims to be the one-and-only Santa Claus. Of course, such claims can get you into trouble and Kris ends up being hospitalized for some kind of delusional disorder. Hope comes in the form of a young man who wants to help Kris prove that he is really and truly Santa.
* The Year Without a Santa Claus
Another instant classic from the 70's featuring claymation figures as the starring role. Santa finds himself feeling too discouraged to make his Christmas rounds. He's sick and he doesn't think that kids believe in him anymore. Two elves embark on a quest to find children who still believe in Santa.The plot is pretty flimsy, but children won't mind - they'll be too taken with the catchy musical numbers.
* Little Women
This 1994 adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's beloved children's book tells the story of the five March daughters and their mother - how they live and keep their family strong during the Civil War.
* A Christmas Story
This 1983 comedy celebrates the sort of Christmas a young boy may have had in the 1940s. Young Ralphie Parker wants only one thing: a Red Ryder Carbine Action 200 Shot Range Model Air Rifle. His parents don't want him to shoot his eye out and refuse to get it. Wacky hijinks ensue as Ralphie develops some very creative ploys to convince his mother and father that this is the only thing they should give him.

M$1. Jingle All the Way.
The Governator stars in this Christmas comedy-flick as an irresponsible father. He decides to make his son happy at least on Christmas by getting him the hot-toy of the season - Turboman, but the odds are against him. This is a light-hearted comedy that can be considered a must-watch for Christmas.
2. Die Hard
Probably the only thing that this movie has to do with Christmas is the fact that Bruce Willis comes home to New York FOR CHRISTMAS, but this movie is truly a classic. If you like a little action in your movie and some bad guy butt-kicking, it will definitely light up your day.
3. Muppet Christmas Carol
Just another Christmas Carol movie with a bit of a puppet-twist. Michael Caine stars as the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge while the rest of the characters are Muppets.
4. The Nightmare before Christmas
Jack Skellington is no longer just happy with Halloween after he has seen the merriment of Christmas Eve. He conspires to get rid of Santa Claus and take over Christmas.
My vote would be for "Jingle All the Way" though - fun, family movie. I still remember watching it during Christmas Eve when I was in middle school.
