I know some people love watching certain movies at certain times of the year, so I was curious to see how diverse a list we could come up with, holiday to holiday.
For example:
Valentine's Day - Beauty and the Beast. Easter - The Prince of Egypt; Jesus of Nazareth Memorial Day - Taking Chance June 2 (birthday) - Star Wars June 25 - Michael Jackson's This Is It July 4th - Glory Halloween - Ghostbusters; Monster Squad; Bram Stoker's Dracula; Ginger Snaps November 22 - JFK Thanksgiving - Planes, Trains and Automobiles; Lord of the Rings Christmas - It's a Wonderful Life; Little Women; National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation; Die Hard New Year's Eve - Michael Jackson: Live in Bucharest
They all have their reasons, but those are my evergreens. Not the holiday without them. What are yours?

Usually around May as whatever the first big comic movie of the year rolls around I start watching a lot of those. No real set ones for that, but this year it was the Batman and Spider-Man movies, plus Thor, Captain America, and the Iron Man movies. Would've included Incredible Hulk but couldn't find my DVD until a month or two ago.

Home Alone 2 is probably the only real movie holiday habit for me but I'm gonna start a Thanksgiving one. March of the Wooden Soldiers, Planes Trains and Automobiles and finishing up with Scent of a Woman.

Old 4th of July tradition was to watch Independence Day, but since the release of Captain America: First Avenger, that film's joined the tradition.

Always have to watch The Muppet Christmas Carol on Christmas Eve. It's a bit cheesy but Mrs. DiG and I always sit down and watch Love Actually the night that we put up the tree and decorations. There are many others I watch over the Christmas period but other than those two, it doesn't really matter what day it happens on. I try to watch When Harry Met Sally in between Christmas and New Year. Boxing Day is traditionally my day to plough through some of the DVDs I got for Christmas whilst the Mrs hits the sales in the shops.

For Valentine's Day, I have watched the 2001 slasher flick VALENTINE in the past. Not necessarily an annual tradition, though.
I don't always watch the same things every year. But in October I watch as many horror movies as I can.
For Thanksgiving, I usually watch the anti-drug, pro-Jesus, bad-audio turkey-man-monster movie known as BLOOD FREAK.
In December, I usually try to get in BLACK CHRISTMAS, ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE, BATMAN RETURNS, and SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS. I may even do the full Burton/Schumacher Batman series. Not sure why on that. Just feels right.

I don't even want to get into what I thought this thread was about at first glance.

....I used to fill my Netflix with crappy/cheesy horror movies at Halloweentime. I got sick of that after 3 years.
Don't really have any others (other than watching the 3 Charlie Brown holiday specials - Halloween. Thanksgiving, Christmas) on those days.

Every December:
Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Carol (the Alistair Sim version although I love Bill Murray's as well), A Christmas Story, It's A Wonderful Life and A BlackAdder's Christmas Carol (which I highly recommend).
