Kick off Christmas with a sentimental family classic Miracle on 34th St then after lunch have endless laughs with Home Alone and to finish the night with a little bit of action with Die Hard.

Home Alone & Home Alone 2
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation (never gets old) Scrooged It's a Wonderful Life Elf Deck the Halls Christmas with the Kranks The Polar Express (I never saw this until my eldest was growing up. He watched it constantly so has some good xmas connotations associated with it) Four Christmases The Santa Clause To a lesser extent: Zemeckis' version of A Christmas Carol Die Hard Gremlins Santa Clause the movie The Santa Clause 2 Fred Claus Just Friends Arthur Christmas |

Home Alone 2. New York just encapsulates the Christmas spirit for me. Love it.

There are two types of people in the world.
Those who think Die Hard is the greatest Christmas movie ever. And those who are wrong. Gremlins, Scrouged and Muppets Christmas Carol tie for second place. |

I always think Its A Wonderful Life being declared a Xmas film is like saying Mean Girls is one just because of the Jingle Bell Rock scene!

Not really my favourite but one of the strangest Christmas films I've seen is the minus man starring Owen Wilson in a mainly serious role as a serial poisoner. A real curio which never gets shown on TV.

I agree with the OP and don't consider It's A Wonderful Life as a Christmas movie either. Good movie in its own right, but save for the end of the film, there's nothing Christmassy about it.
Alistair Sim's A Christmas Carol is probably my favourite (which I'm just about to watch) followed by Die Hard, The first two Home Alone films and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation top my favourite Christmas comedies. |

I suspect in the future people will assume Frozen is a Christmas film due to the ice and snow and will get shown every year.
