Muppet Christmas Carol.
A reminder that the true meaning of Christmas is scaring rich people into being more generous. Also Kermit
“Violence is never the answer, it’s the solution” -Kermit
Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppet Family Christmas are the only things I’ll still require my kids to watch with us every year. They’re just the best.
Muppet Family Christmas and Emmett Otter are our yearly Xmas Eve watch.
Emmett Otter is an absolute masterpiece and a treasure I’ve watched since the 80s. I’ve never met anyone who knows what it is, though. Have you ever paid attention to the lyrics in the opening song? ROFL
I am thrilled that Disney+ (last I checked) removed that The Love is Gone song that I’ve been programmed to fast-forward through since I was a small child in the VHS days.
The empire strikes back. My brother and I would watch it and afterwards go play in the snow pretending to be on Hoth.
The first 3 Die Hard movies
What are you talking about? There are only three Die Hard movies 😏
My new favourite is Violent Night, but I haven’t watch Silent Night (with Joel Kinnamen) yet.
fucking caillou’s christmas special. i hate this bald ass child with all my fucking heart but i cannot stop myself from watching the special every year. there’s just something about it that compels me to watch it. it’s not good and actually makes me angry to watch it. but i have to
The LoTR trilogy (extended of course), and home alone
The Royal Tenenbaums
Well, since you say Christmas or not, my favorite show any time is Babylon 5.
But for Christmas stuff, Hogfather is my favorite tradition. Also Die Hard, and the Christmas episode of Justice League.
Babylon 5 is pretty awesome.
Violent night was added to the tradition list last year.
But nat. Lampoons Christmas vacation Die hard Lethal weapon
The wife loves elf and home alone 2.
Just watched Violent Night on the weekend. Awesome! But I’m also yet to watch Silent Night, with Joel Kinnamen.
Yeah that’s definitely on the list. Hopefully it’ll be good.
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, Love Actually & The Family Stone, to name a few…
I tend to watch the whole Marvel lineup to this day starting early December and my wife and I watch the whole shebang of Harry Potter on Christmas eve and day.
March/April I tend to rewatch Boston Legal and the cliffnotes of Dragon Ball OG to Super. Rest of the shows I rewatch aren’t as tied to time of year.
The Harry Potter films. I just finished HalfBlood Prince this evening.
They are good “holiday” movies. They’re just good movies.
Ernest Saves Christmas! And I don’t even care about Christmas but damn that’s a good one
My favorite movie to watch at this time of year, or any time of the year for that matter, has to be the multiple Golden Globe nominated sensation of 2023, Barbie, which, coincidentally, is also available on Blu-Ray and select streaming services.
You should watch it too.
Ever since I learned it was a thing from the shorts on Youtube, Rare Exports.

Klaus is new-ish and has found a special place in my heart. It’s just a great movie!
For me it’s Arthur Christmas
I rewatch the Blade Runner movies every year on Boxing Day. Sometimes I do different cuts, but mostly final cut. Then BR2049 turned out good enough to add to the tradition, so I watch that next.
