Last year I asked and you, people of the internet, delivered. Let’s do it again. I’m looking for Christmas / holiday movies. Corny, heartfelt, funny… Previous submissions that won me over include Four Christmases with Vince Vaughn and Feast of the Seven Fishes.

What you got?

I enjoy The Holiday

Christmas in Connecticut. A charmer.

Really liked Christmas Eve at Miller's Point, out this year. Ernest Saves Christmas is way too slept on as well.

Nutcrackers, with Ben Stiller, is pretty charming ❤️

Fred Claus, Christmas with the Kranks, Jingle All the Way are some of my go-tos every year.

Melissa McCarthy did one and I caked Genie or The Genie that’s streaming. She’s not the main character and she’s not over the top, but funny still. I enjoyed that.

It's already been suggested, but another mention of "Arthur Christmas" is in order. "That Christmas" is new this year on Netflix, but it's pretty good. And I really liked "Jingle Jangle," but I could watch Forest Whitaker read a phone book.

I meant to share this sooner, but I did some light AI processing with Gemini on all these recommendations (and those from Threads) and sorted by number of times recommended, then added Rotten Tomatoes ratings and Streaming Availability. HAPPY HOLIDAYS MERRY XMAS https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vQziRFH324PB0vBueh3jVpJRLj0IoTbsrrQ480gYMzY/edit?usp=sharing

Bell, Book and Candle, 1958, with Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak. It has witches! https://youtu.be/953tFSGpafk

Gremlins - set at Christmas. Great.

Grumpy Old Men. Mathau. Lemon. Margaret. Meredith.

The Holdovers.
Trading Places (some stuff hasn't aged well, other parts have).

Holdovers was good

Just watched The Holdovers again tonight. So freaking good.

Ten thousand percent on The Holdovers.

I've got two. Office Christmas Party is so funny and an amazing cast. Jason Bateman, Olivia Munn, TJ Miller.

Christmas with the Campbells is a parody of Hallmark movies but played so super straight. Stealth hit I found last year.

Just watched Meet Me Next Christmas on Netflix. It's fluffy but fun and has a great soundtrack.

Muppet Family Christmas. Tv special from the 80s, with the Muppets, Sesame Street, and Fraggle Rock all spending Christmas together. It’s lovely. You can watch versions on YouTube, including one that’s a straight VHS rip with the original commercials. It’s my favorite.
