Okay, so this list is really long for me. And I'm not sure how to narrow it down to five. But for now, I will say that The Holiday and Love Actually are the two Christmas movies that I have to watch every year or it doesn't quite feel like Christmas to me. So I guess those are #1 and #2.

For me that's Christmas with the Kranks and Jingle all the way.

I've actually never seen Love Actually. I should give it a watch this year.

People either love it or hate it. And there's a lot about it to nitpick. It's honestly a weird movie (and for those SJW's out there, WUTUP!, I will say there are some problematic elements) but I adore it. Flaws and all.

All solid!

Especially Elf. That's gotta be in my top 5, too. :heartbeat:

I usually don’t make a big effort to watch Christmas movies, but recently I have had the notion to watch Elf. My family burnt me out on A Christmas Story and Christmas Vacation.

I'm almost afraid to admit it, but I don't really like Christmas Vacation.

I'm sort of with you. It's not that I don't like it. But I do think it's overrated and it's not a movie I make a point to watch each holiday season. It's totally... fine.

Honestly, my #1 isn't a movie. It's an episode of Friends: The One With the Holiday Armadillo.

That's my all-time favorite Christmas thing.

Everyone here will hate it but a more modern "classic" for me is Noelle with Anna Kendrick. :heartbeat:

Elf is top tier. For TV episodes my go to is Peep Show's Christmas episode. I also look forward to The Big Fat Quiz of the Year (which airs in England, but gets uploaded to YouTube) every year around Christmas.
