Which Christmas Movies do you watch every year?

Making a holiday movies thread because I wanna.
Which movies are part of the holiday traditions for you and yours?
I’ll start:
Klaus
Muppet Christmas Carol
The first two are non-negotiable but this year I’m adding two to the docket:
Die Hard
Red One
Die Hard is a fun movie and I want to see if it’ll be part of the tradition with my gf. Red One (yes the very silly looking thing with Dwane Johnson is just for fun and I wanna see how bad it is. Also, annoy my gf
)
Tradition Movies to watch on other holidays are also allowed. Halloween or Thanksgiving or Arbor Day, to name a few. (list non-exhaustive)

Muppets Christmas Carol (full, unedited version with all songs.)
And discovered this was on Youtube in its entirety this year:
The Lincoln Center Ballet performance of The Nutcracker. Absolutely breathtaking.
Muppet Christmas Carol
Die Hard
Scrooged
I keep meaning to add more to the list, but time to watch movies is sparse since my wife doesn't really like movies.

And then they have to fight demons.
Every year my family watches this Christmas classic, a movie that is more accurate to Italian-Americans than anything else I have ever seen.
A year without santa claus is my partner's
She also really wants to watch peewee's christmas adventure this year. I should figure out if there's anything else to add to my list
Muppet Christmas Carol
Scrooge (1970 starring Albert Finney; if you've never seen this version and you like A Christmas Carol, you really should check it out; "Thank Ya Very Much" is a second-to-none telling of the Ghost of Christmas Future's visit)
Mickey's Christmas Carol
Home Alone 1 & 2 (I know that stupid fucker is in 2, but so is Tim Curry)
Die Hard
White Christmas
Also, if the Christmas TV specials count: How the Grinch Stole Christmas, A Charlie Brown Christmas, the Garfield Christmas special, Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer, Santa Claus is Comin' to Town, The Year Without a Santa Claus, Frosty the Snowman, T'was the Night Before Christmas.
Double also, the Christmas-themed episodes of Bob's Burgers are pretty great.
Speaking of, new one imminent
And Home Alone I think.
My wife insists on A Christmas Story every year. Then there's the stuff that's in semi-regular-but-not-every-year rotation like:
Muppet Family Christmas is a good one too.
As kids we marathonned all the Rankin Bass ones, but the ones that stick out to me are the painfully average Night Before Christmas (which my family always just called The Mouse One) and the delightfully awful The First Christmas, wherein a blind boy who is adopted by nuns wishes for snow despite being somewhere it doesn't snow (it might be Israel but I can't remember) and the first magical snowflake of Christmas cures his blindness.
Garfield Christmas is better than it deserves to be.
The classic Grinch is actually the only one of the old half hour specials that is worth watching without at least some irony.
Klaus is a new classic and blows almost every other Christmas movie out of the water with how good it is.
Rise of the Guardians is not as good as Klaus but still purty gewd.
We also have Trading Places lined up for New Year's Eve (because it takes place in Philly on New Year's Eve!)
And of course, how else can you spend New Year's Day in Philly, but by starting with the Mummers Parade, followed up with the biggest event in boxing history, as The World Champion takes on The Italian Stallion on New Year's Day
Oh god Love Hard was such a good romcom.
I think my own is Gremlins
What about Gremlins 2? There was a lot of white Powder involved in that movie's production.
I know it’s a controversial take, but I deeply dislike Gremlins 2, though the Gizmo puppet is better there
I mostly love Gremlins 2 for this scene
Muppet Christmas Carol
Flintstones Christmas Carol
Jim Carrey Grinch
Hallmark Christmas movies (really any of them, they are all similar enough, but I still love them)[/list]
Charlie Brown Christmas use to be on the list but I really hate that it’s only available on Apple TV now and I can’t even purchase a digital copy of it.
I enjoyed Red One way more than expected to
Nightmare Before Christmas
Muppet Christmas Carol
Charlie Brown Christmas
Home Alone
P much all the Rankin Bass stuff
Gremlins
Edward Scissorhands
PSN:Furlion
That’s right, John Carpenter’s The Thing.
This year is one of the rare years where I skipped both those other movies and am watching the Star Wars Holiday Special instead.
Also, I just learned that according to extended material Goku arrives on Namek on Christmas Eve so I might have to start adding Goku vs. Frieza to the rotation.
Steam
Oh, but that's quick, that fight lasts, what, an hour? 90 minutes, tops?
Someone uploaded Muppet Family Christmas in 4k like 3 days ago and merry Christmas to them.
In the description to that video they link to the DVD on Amazon. Time to correct an oversight in my library.
My usual go-to Xmas movies:
-Muppet Christmas Carol
-Batman Returns
-National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
-Home Alone
-A Garfield Christmas
-Snowglobe
-Jingle All The Way
-Gremlins
-Ernest Saves Christmas
The Ref used to be on there but I can't look at either of the male leads anymore.
EDIT: Also Red One because it's just fun.
