Best Christmas movies nomination thread
It’s Christmas movie season so let’s see which is the best. Nominate Christmas movies here and we will have a head to head tournament to determine which movie can achieve the honor of best Christmas movie according to CP.
I’ll seed them based on domestic box office and adjust for inflation. Go! |

I’ll start with what I assume will be one of the favorites to win.
Christmas Vacation. |

Miracle on 34th Street. My personal favorite closely followed by the original A Christmas Carol with Alastair Sim.

The original starring: Maureen O'Hara, John Payne, Edmund Gwenn, Gene Lockhart, Natalie Wood, Porter Hall. Anything after is just wrong. (Sorry it took so long to reply)

I like Christmas Story, but does it have to be on for 24 hours straight? A Tim Allen movie shouldn't be anywhere near this list. Die Hard is an action movie with Christmas elements sprinkled in. Merry Xmas. |

I’ve always enjoyed how you can pick out so many of your own family members in that movie.

He’s entitled to his opinion, however wrong it may be.
![]() Die Hard in the 1 spot for me. Home Alone and Christmas Vacation battle back and forth between the two and three spots. And then there is a whole host of others jumbled up after that, from Bad Santa, to Fred Clause, Elf, the original Miracle on 34th Street, White Christmas, It’s A Wonderful Life and several of the Christmas Carol renditions. Of those the George C. Scott, Muppets, and Bill Murray in Scrooged are probably my favorites.

Easily one of the best.
My all-time favorite is probably Scrooged with Bill Murray. Throw in some Al Green and Buster Poindexter and you have a classic.
