OK, this has been done in previous years, but there are new folks out there and some of us older folk can't remember what we wrote way back when.
Last night Liam and I watched "Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol," which has been a favorite of mine since childhood. My little brother and I absolutely loved it. Well, Liam was underwhelmed and the slicked up new copy I had (via Japan) was really orange. Nevertheless, I still sang along and clapped like an 11 year old, which was how old I was when I first saw it.
I also love the old "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer," with the dentist/elf and the Island of Misfit Toys.
My favorite version of "A Christmas Carol" is the one with Alistair Sims as Scrooge. We'll watch that on Christmas Eve.
Bill Murray's "Scrooged" is on my list, and I've seen "White Christmas" about a million times ("Sisters, sisters, there were never such devoted sisters.." that song gets in my head as soon as I think of that movie).
What are your Christmas favorites or your family's favorite shows to watch this time of year?

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.

"A Christmas Story" has to be number one here in my house. Never gets old.
We are working our way through all the old Rankin and Bass Christmas shows with the kids this year. They love them. Gracie really likes "The Little Drummer boy"
And "The Polar Express" is probably the kids favorite Christmas movie right now. They have already watched it like, oh 100 times. I actually really like it as well.

All good ones, MA, which I also love to watch but forgot to list.

There are so many more and I am sure I am forgetting some as well. Will have to revisit this after my slower than slow memory catches up to the question.

I haven't actually had a "Christmas" since '97, and even then Kaye and I never had any specific Christmas shows we watched, but I kind of like the first two Santa Clause movies with Tim Allen.
And although it's not a specific "Christmas" movie, Bell, Book, and Candle, starring Jimmy Stewart, Kim Novack, Jack Lemmon, Ernie Kovacs, Elsa Lanchester, and Hermione Gingold is a favorite winter comedy. It takes place around Christmas time.

It's a Wonderful Life
The Bishop's Wife (the original with Cary Grant not that HORRID remake with Denzel)
Merry Christmas Mr. Bean (watched it last night)
Sherlock Holmes' The Cardboard Box and The Blue Carbuncle. Not really "Christmas" shows but they take place during Christmas time and are great to watch. I watched The Cardboard Box two nights ago.
