Its a tie for me between both Home Alones, The Grinch (live action), and Jingle All the Way. I'm actually sick of seeing Nightmare Before Christmas. All the Hot Topic Kids have ruined it for me.

That's a tough one, Home Alone, Christmas Story, Scrooged, Christmas Vacation, and Jingle All The Way. I chose Jingle All The Way, because it is funny seeing Arnold act in that. I would have picked my favorite, but wasn't mentioned. That would have been The Santa Clause.

Home Alone 2, but I love Nightmare Before Christmas too.

I had considered the Santa Clause, but I had to make draw a line somewhere. Although it's a classic, Im sure these other suffice.
easily the christmas smash hit jingle all the way
Jingle All The Way

I love Nightmare Before Christmas and Elf, by watching the Christmas Story marathon every year is practically a tradition in my house.

A Christmas Story is by far the greatest Christmas movie of all time.
I watch it every Christmas Eve like 3 or 4 times

Muppet Christmas Carol all the way. Loved that movie so much as a kid, and just recently got it on DVD.

Christmas Story is probably the "best" but I will never watch it again because its on so fucking much that it sort of pisses me off when I see other people watching it... I pick Home Alone... "do you guys give up? Or are you thirsty for more?"

people keep saying this...but come on, look at your heart, you'd really pick Tim Allen's "the Santa Clause" over all of these great christmas classics?
wasnt charlie brown just a TV special?

How is this even a contest? A Christmas Story is definitely the best. I also really enjoy Jingle All the Way, the Home Alone movies, and Christmas Vacation.

Jingle All the Way is awesome
A Christmas Story is too classic not to pick. A close second is Christmas Vacation.

I still laugh out loud when watching home alone 1 AND 2. great movies.
I picked Grinch. Because I was thinking of the cartoon.
Muppet Christmas Carol is incredible.

It's because it's something that everyone can relate to. Everyone had that one special toy that they wanted as a kid and stayed awake thinking about what they were going to do when they got it. It's also funny with the dad wanting the turkey, getting his mouth washed out with soap, and his brother hiding under the sink because of his dad coming home...

Okay, for me, it's Christmas Vacation all the way. I mean, it's a complete classic...For me anyways. I watch it EVERY single year, and it never gets old.
Oh, and same with Home Alone, both of them.
Christmas fucking Vacation. watch it at least 3 times a year and it has yet to bore me

I love most of these christmas films!! They are all great I will say
in order mine are
1. Christmas Story
2. Christmas Vacation
3. Jingle All The Way
4. Home Alone
5. Trapped in Paradise (Dana Carvey is hilarious in it)
The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of my favorite movies but I just cant watch it for christmas, its to dark for it

I'm super surprised that Home Alone is really fighting for the lead in this one. I love those movies, but I figured this would be a blowout for Christmas Story. I went with Nightmare though.

nightmare before christmas would be top 3 if it wasnt for the stupid hot topic backlash...its still a quality and all time great flick, and much better than elf.

Yeah I agree, Home Alone or Jingle All The Way for me. Nothing like Arnold Schwarzenegger at Christmas.
I blame Hot Topic kids for ruining my enjoyment of Nightmare Before Christmas.
