What are your favorite Christmas specials or movies?

I'm going to add Pee Wee Herman's Christmas special, still funny and full of retro '80s goodness, lol.

Does anyone remember that one Christmas special featuring the California Raisins? That both fascinated me and completely creeped me out as a kid.

A Year Without a Santa Claus
A Christmas Story

and I dont think The Nightmare Before Christmas is a holiday movie. To me its an anytime movie

I don't think it gets any better than Christmas Eve on Sesame Street for me. How True Blue Miracle and Keep Christmas With You aren't standards played every year on the radio escapes me.

Well there were lots of Chirstmas movies and specials that I loved, including all the Rankin/Bass ones. My favorite out of all of those would have to be Santa Claus is Comin' To Town. I got that on DVD late last year and it was a treat to watch it without it being interupted by ad breaks.
Others include Elf, The Santa Clause 1 and 2, Chirstmas Eve on Sesame Street, A Very Brady Chirstmas, In the Nick of Time and Prancer. Mind you, there were others.
