So many good ones here and some that suck imo. I do love the animations that the op listed though. Where can you find those today? Maybe Prime?

I personally consider "Christmas movies" to be movies in which Christmas is the main (or a main) theme of the movie. If it the plot occurs because it's Christmas, it's a Christmas movie. I know Die Hard happened during a Christmas party, but it could have been a birthday party, or many other events, and nothing would have been significantly different.

I have to go with Miracle on 34th Street (the original), A Christmas Story, and It's a Wonderful Life with National Lampoon's A Christmas Vacation right behind those. Scrooged is pretty good too.

Ditto here ... Die Hard is no different than Lethal Weapon - which was also had only seconds of Xmas theme - but it wasn't all about Xmas.

Mr. Joshua Lethal -Weapon on Xmas greeting.....lol :D

A Christmas Story is a comedy, as told from the now adult, about his childhood, the year he asked for a BB rifle for Christmas.
A Christmas Carol is the Scrooge story, with the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future.

a christmas story is about this kid growin up in the 30s or 40s...and he wants a red ryder b b gun for christmas...and everyone tells him
you'll shoot your eye out.
GREAT movie.

a christmas carol is based on the charles dickens classic tale about scrooge.

the 3 godfathers is a john wayne western set around christmas.
3 cowpokes find a baby and decide if they want to raise the baby or find the baby a home.
excellent story.
just as john wayne's star was rising.
highly recommend.
