My all time favorite is “A Christmas to Remember” with Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. My mom, sister, and I used to watch our VHS copy of it every year and play the soundtrack while making cookies. I can only find it on YouTube now so I haven’t actually watched it in a few years.
For the longest time, I swore I was the only human being on earth who remembered this! lol
this is different than smoky mountain Christmas right?
My absolute any time of the year Holiday movie is Elf. I also have to watch Natl Lampoons Christmas Vacation. My favorite animated is Arthur Christmas. Also, any Hallmark Channel movie is up my alley.
"It's a Wonderful Life!" I hadn't watched it for a few years and watched it with the kids this year (their first time). I started tearing up during the first scene and cried ridiculously on and off for the entire movie! Not sure exactly why. Kind of embarrassing. Great movie, though!
Also "Christmas Vacation" (but can't watch w/ kids b/c of Santa spoilers).
Also maybe "Elf"?
I've only seen it once but I actually kind of loved the new Grinch last year and thought it was very cute.
Christmas Vacation and Bad Santa. Speaking of the latter, I regularly think about that line "I'm on my FUCKING lunch break!!" whenever people try to bother me at work while I'm eating. I've never actually uttered it out loud but I've come verrry close.

I have 2 tiers. "Not Christmas until I watch" and "Watch when I'm bored". I end up watching them all every year.
Tier 1: Elf National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Miracle on 34th Street (1994) It's a Wonderful Life Home Alone Love Actually Eloise at Christmastime The Grinch (Jim Carrey) A Christmas Story The Santa Clause
Tier 2: The Holiday The Family Stone (which gets more depressing every year I watch it) Arthur Christmas Prep & Landing Home Alone 2 The Muppet Christmas Carol The Polar Express
Am I the only person who remembers The Christmas Toy? I thought for sure that someone would have that on their list.
I remember when it was new, ther whole family from my parents to the grandkids all loved it. We had it on VHS and found it on DVD a while back so everyone has a copy and now my grandkids watch it.
memenee, my 6yo loves Christmas Chronicles and watched it last year at 5. It doesn't give anything away.
My favorites: White Christmas The Holiday Love Actually - mostly b/c my mom and I saw this in Dublin on Boxing Day not realizing everything would be closed.
