To my list, I will add: The Christmas Raccoons (of course, remastered on Roku). Also the free shorts Rifftrax has been posting. Check them out, especially Basil Rathbone's A Christmas Carol.

It's a couple years old, but 8 Bit Christmas is a surprise delight

Still think Christmas TV isn’t the same since Charlie Brooker stopped doing the yearly wipes. They were such a treat and placed perfectly in the period between Christmas and New Year. Recent years we’ve had Mortimer and Whitehouse Gone Fishing Christmas specials and they’ve been the highlight of festive TV in my house. There’s another new one this year, so that will be a must watch.

All you need is Jay Thomas and the Late Show Quarterback Challenge and Darlene Love singing Santa (Baby Please Come Home) and you have yourself Christmas.

I loved It's A Wonderful Knife but I watched my favorite Christmas Movie, A Muppet Christmas Carol recently

The Muppet Christmas Carol, Home Alone, Scrooged, Jingle All The Way, Little Lord Fauntleroy, Gremlins, Miracle on 34th Street, Christmas Every Day, The Long Kiss Goodnight, Tokyo Godfathers. I won't make them all, but a good chunk. Yo, Tokyo Godfathers is *the* anime holiday classic.

There's a Hallmark movie premiering starring Meghan Ory. I must bite. Hallmark movies = why I avoid Golden Girls fan sites this time of year. And indeed I did. All I get out of it is: she. Is. Still. Gorgeous.

Tokyo Godfathers (from a country that barely celebrates Christmas) and two sitcom specials: Blackadder's Christmas Carol and A Christmassy Ted for me.

Roku suggested a holiday movie to me, A Family Matters Christmas. I’m so down for an Erkel Christmas movie. Spoiler alert, no Erkel in the movie. Sorry to ruin Christmas for you this year and forever.

I noticed ITV2 are airing "It's A Very Merry Muppet Family Christmas" this coming week, I remember I got that on VHS one festive holiday, with my aunt trying to convince me it was the sequel to Muppets Christmas Carol, which had only just come out that year, rofl. In reality it was a Muppet/Sesame Street crossover TV Special

It sounds like you're confusing 1987's "A Muppet Family Christmas", which featured Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock characters, with 2002's "It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie", a celebrity-laden "It's a Wonderful Life" tribute.

Seems I've been watching more YouTube videos ABOUT Christmas movies and specials lately...Cinema Snob does A Special Sesame Street Christmas (the one with Michael Jackson...for 5 seconds.) Think he also reviewed the Christmas episode of Rubik the Amazing Cube.
Phelous does A Snow White Christmas (the SEVEN FRIENDLY GIANTS! song has haunted me since the pre-Unimas Urban America station included it amongst their public domain/cheap programs)

Right, that's probably it then, my mistake.# ...Oh wait, now that you mention it, that's the movie that gave birth to the "Kermit did 9/11" meme.

Sadly, it's true. It would be akin to having the Mads' Wish Squisher invention (from MST3K) and running Muppet Family Christmas through it, only to get...THAT. I know TV and home media seem to be different as far as it goes, but due to music and character rights issues, it's unlikely you'll see AMFC anywhere but YouTube. As for IAVMMFC...it's memorable for me because: 1) TRIUMPH THE INSULT COMIC DOG is in it. 2) The alternate universe where Beaker = Goldberg. 3) My friend claiming Piggy became a prostitute (she was really a crazy cat lady)
