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.  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 |

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? |

There is no Christmas without 24 hours of this on constant loop. Period.
 Otherwise, anything and everything that ever came out of Rankin-Bass.

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

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)
