Favorite Christmas on TV &/or Movies
What this is, I'd like to know everyone's favorite Christmas in the movies &/or TV.
For TV, it can be a holiday episode of a series, a special (animated or non-animated) or tv-movies. Now that everyone understands, let's get started. This Friday, looking forward to seeing Merry Christmas Drake & Josh. Gonna be funny & cool. Here's Drake & the gang doing The 12 Days of Christmas. For animated (besides Rankin-Bass), I love Garfield's Christmas where Grandma plays the piano & sings O Christmas Tree (boop-boop-dee-boop!), The 12 Days of Christmas (which aired on NBC back in 1993). Charlie Brown classic has all that goofy dancing in it! Movies, it's a toss-up between Home Alone, Elf & Christmas Story. |
There's only a couple Christmas movies I watch every year. Namely:
Santa Clause: The Movie. Cuz nothing beats Dudley Moore as an elf, John Lithgow as an evil rich guy, and Burgess Merideth as the Ancient One. :D The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus. One of the few books I read every year as well. My fave L. Frank Baum story too (Santa also appears in several of the Oz books). The Rankin-Bass version will always have a special place in my heart. The upcoming CGI film should be interesting. This year amongst the new stuff Im mostly just looking forward to the New Muppet christmas movie on Dec 17th and the christmas ep of Batman Brave and the Bold. |
Mine would be:
Santa Clause is Coming to Town The Year Without a Santa Clause Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer I love all of the Rankin-Bass stop-motion animated tv specials...but those particular ones that I just listed are my favorites! Prancer It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie The Muppet Family Christmas (sadly haven't seen it in years...) The Muppet Christmas Carol I'm also very very excited about the new Muppets x-mas special, "Letters to Santa" being shown this year! The Santa Clause (again, I haven't seen this one in a long time, but it's always been a favorite) The Nightmare Before Christmas The Nutcracker Prince (Disney used to show it when I was a kid...I was so disappointed when they stopped airing it) It's A Wonderful Life |
Die Hard. It's about the true spirit of Christmas.

Back in 2004, Hermie the Elf (Rudolph) who wanted to be a dentist, had a twin who won $2,500,000 on Jeopardy!, Ken Jennings.
Don't they look alike? |
my fav cristmas movies: polar express, rudolph the red nose reindeer, deck the halls, the grinch, :D
|
He-Man and She-Ra christmas special. Easily the best.
|
The MST3K version of Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, A Christmas Story, and the Boris Karloff narrated How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
|
There is no Christmas without 24 hours of this on constant loop. Period.

I've always liked Mickey's Christmas Carol, but I don't think they play it anymore...a shame.

A Christmas Story Most Rankin/Bass stuff |
Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer...obviously
Frosty the Snowman and the one where Frosty gets married. The Legend of Frosty the Snowman...I guess alot of peole dont like it but I did,loads better than the one voiced by John Goodman. Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas...I love this, I have the DVD. National Lampoons Christmas Vaction (Chevy Chase, Beverly D'angelo, Randy Quaid) How the Grinch Stole Christmas....the original cartoon. |
Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story and Home Alone are regulars with me.

FINALLY... someone else who loves The Tick VS Santa. One of my all time favorites. And note they did the "Elves are Secret Service Members" stuff before (and much funnier than) that Fred Claus movie. As for the non-stop barrage of Christmas Carol remakes, my top 2 are Mickey's Christmas Carol and Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol (Even though they got the Ghosts out of order for some reason). You WOULD expect me to say Muppet Christmas Carol... I do enjoy it, but it's my second least favorite (that I've seen) Muppet Movie. It's all about Michael Cain, and Kermit and Co are delegated to bit parts. I do like the Ghosts though... I also really love KND Operation N.A.U.G.H.T.Y.... that has to have been one of the BEST send ups of Marvel Comics and their purple prose ever. |
Home alone #1!!!
^^^ I have always wanted to see those old X-mas specials like He-man. But how can we forget the Star wars Christmas Special!!! What a classic! (if you haven't watch it yet you might want to have a garbage can close by so you don't vomit all over your computer) |
Home Alone
Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas Flintstone’s Christmas Carol Mickey's Christmas Carol Jingle All The Way A Goof Troop Christmas Rudolph, The Red Nosed Reindeer How the Grinch Stole Christmas |

I forgot to mention this the first time...
A Very Brady Christmas. Ya,ya I know what your thinking, the Brady Bunch how lame, but me and my sister like the Brady Bunch. Even though they are kinda cheesy we still enjoy the the christmas movie as well as the old sitcom. Speaking of which, I really liked the short-lived spinoff where the Brady girls get married...man I havent seen those in so long. |

I need to rent Santa's Slay this Christmas.

Any Christmas Special on TV that I find good really. Plus Nativity Story and any version of Scrooge/Christmas Carol going.
===HERO |
I forgot one:
The Year Without A Santa Claus, which Im watching right now *sings along with Heat and Cold miser* But what's really..eh I dunno...odd...they made a SEQUEL!! Apperantly WB got the rights to all the old Rankin Bass stuff and decided that Heat and Cold Miser needed their own film. :lol: It's called The Miser Brothers Christmas. Mickey Rooney even reprises his role as Santa from the 1974 film. That premiers tonight on ABC family (and no doubt repeated a gazillion times). It'll definatly be interesting (the trailers look like they repeat the Heat/Cold Miser song from Year Without A Santa Claus). Edit: After watching Miser Brother's christmas....well...it's interesting. Spoiler:
It's not the best animated film but it'll definatly become a fan favorite. The baby raindeer are absolutly adorable and seeing Snow and Heat as children was interesting as well.. |
