For me, it’s jingle all the way. It’s got everything. A drunk reindeer. A terrorist mailman. Arnold punching a deer. Arnold punching Sinbad. Arnold punching Santa. Arnold in general.
Edit: sure are a lot of die hard fans of Die Hard.
Home Alone. For me, only the first one. The soundtrack is also a legit good Christmas album.
Muppet Christmas Carol. Michael Caine with the straightman performance of the century sharing screentime with Rizzo the rat. Masterpiece from start to finish.
It’s genuinely Die Hard. Calling it a Christmas movie used to be something I said for fun, but somewhere along the line, watching it at Christmas has become an actual tradition that I look forward to
Classic: A Christmas Carol, the 1951 version with Alastair Sim. Sim’s giddy portrayal of Scrooge on Christmas morning is one of my favorite performances of any actor.
Modern: A Christmas Story, and Elf.

Black Christmas is one of my favorites I haven’t seen mentioned yet. I am a big fan of horror movies and it’s a bit of a classic a surprising amount of people haven’t seen.
There’s a ton of movies called that. What year?
I said it was considered a classic, I was referring to the original from 1974.
There was also a movie called Black Christmas released in 1977, 2006, and 2009
I guess it’s my bad then.
I assumed people would think it’s the original. Kind of like saying Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a classic and believing they’d think of the 1974 film instead of the 2022 film of the same name.

Oh fudge!
But I didn’t say fudge…
