The Muppet Christmas Carol (George C. Scott one was good too).
Fozziwig: Here is my Christmas speech. "Thank you all, and Merry Christmas."
Robert Marley: That was the speech?
Jacob Marley: It was dumb.
Robert Marley: It was obvious.
Jacob Marley: It was pointless.
Robert Marley: It was... short.
Jacob Marley, Robert Marley: I loved it.

You know what? I liked Elf, with Will Ferrell.
And I second The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Thing is- I can’t spell or type. I spell so badly my spell check doesn’t even know what I was trying to spell. And I have five Eisners HAHAHAHHA!!

Let me throw in a wild card and suggest Vanessa Williams' Diva's Christmas Carol be included in the list.

That's just silly.
Die Hard is far better than lethal weapon.

I have 3...
The Lion In Winter
Henry II is at Christmas at Chignon with Elinor of Aquataine (to whom my wife is related) and his boys, Richard, Geoffrey, and John. Henry's time is running out and he must establish his successor now that his first son, Henry, is dead.
Terrific movie. Brilliant. How this lost to Oliver! for Best Pic in '68 is beyond me.
The dialog is sheer poetry. I've watched it both times it was aired, sans commercials, this past weekend.
A Christmas Story
Ralphie and his Red Rider BB Gun with a stock and a compass and a thing that tells time.
It's A Wonderful Life
George Bailey, The Everyman. The Everyman can make a difference.
We all wear a green carnation.

True, but Jeremy started this thread by naming the Peanuts Christmas Special, so I named the Grinch...

There has been no guidelines seperating cinematically released movies and TV specials/movies. As mod of this forum, I approve the nomination as well as add Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer because we can't have enough stop motion animation.

OK. I was just taking "movie" at its literal meaning. No problem.

Have you not heard of a Made for TV movie?
I'll add The Santa Clause to the list. I still enjoy watching that movie. Especially Tim Allen's facial expressions when the cops have him in the interrogation room.

Sure.
Neither the Peanuts Xmas special nor the Grinch were Made for TV movies.

In that case I nominate Frosty the Snowman and the Santa cartoons.

Scrooged

How the Grinch Stole Christmas (old AND new versions)
The Santa Clause II

Elf
In my dream, the world had suffered a terrible disaster. A black haze shut out the sun, and the darkness was alive with the moans and screams of wounded people. Suddenly, a small light glowed. A candle flickered into life, symbol of hope for millions. A single tiny candle, shining in the ugly dark. I laughed, and blew it out. - Joker
