Haven’t done it yet but it’ll be
Bad Santa Bad Santa 2 Home Alone Home Alone 2 National Lampoons Christmas Vacation
Probably all the Simpsons Christmas shows once they start airing as a marathon.
That’ll be that.

the Bottom Christmas Episode has become a tradition for the family in the last few years.

The Sesame Street Christmas Special is amazing. Which? Xmas Eve on Sesame Street or the one produced for NBC? The latter somehow could only use Big Bird, Oscar, and Barkley and was on a cheaper version of the SS set, I believe. Had lots of guest stars including Anne Murray, Ethel Merman, and Michael Jackson. (EDIT: The latter was called A Special Sesame Street Christmas. You CAN see it on YouTube, only you can see only 2/3rds of the picture and everyone's voices are sped up) On the other hand, CEoSS had this moment where Oscar apparently curses out Big Bird for like 10 seconds straight: mobile.twitter.com/HistoryMuppet/status/1201545887077601286

So far I’ve watched:
Noelle (Disney+ Original). OK film, not great. But worth a watch if you have D+
Klaus (Netflix original) .. Great recent animated Christmas film. Looks great, with a great story.

And I am way behind some of you, it looks like. Been watching the Survivor Series Showdown Hidden Gems of all things. Also, I am awaiting my copy of In Search of Darkness.
Otherwise...well, the most festive stuff I watched so far would be...
- Macy's parade last week - CMA Country Christmas last night (why did I not notice the lead singer of Lady Antebellum till now? Good singer and pretty) - Holiday Baking Championship on Food Network...not sure if I can get invested as much as previous weeks cause Janet Letendre, the Canadian lady, just got voted off this week... - While on vacation this weekend, watched snippets of whatever was on AMC at different times. Mostly Rankin-Bass stuff and it usually ended up being different parts of Jack Frost. Same thing with Christmas Vacation.

So far I've only seen: The Rifftrax of The Star Wars Holiday Special and Santa and The Ice Cream Bunny, as well as the Mystery Science Theater 3000 Santa Claus episode and How The Grinch Stole Christmas (Chuck Jones version).
On my to watch list is my usual list of holiday favorites: Muppet Christmas Carol, Die Hard, It's a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34'th Street (1949), Scrooged, Ernest Saves Christmas, A Garfield Christmas and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

The Sesame Street Christmas Special is amazing. Yes, "Christmas Eve On Sesame Street" (which I hope is what you're referring to) is amazing... ...unlike "A Special Sesame Street Christmas" which is... amazing for all the wrong reasons (I.E: Because it's awful). www.toughpigs.com/special-sesame-christmas-1/

My two are Scrooged and Christmas Vacation. But this thread got me wondering about getting some more. Does anyone here remember the 1982 cartoon The Snowman? I grew up on that one, but I'm not sure I can handle watching it now. I might cry my eyes out.

So far I've watched....
Muppet Family Christmas Frosty the Snowman Frosty Returns (and I won't be watching it a second time, just awful) Rifftrax Santa Claus and the Ice Cream Bunny (or I tried, even their commentary couldn't make this hunk of garbage watchable) Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the OG cartoon) Curious George Christmas (it's actually pretty good for a kids show) The Snowy Day If You Give a Mouse a Christmas Cookie
Still need to watch
Muppets Christmas Carol MST3K Santa Claus Vicar of Dibley: The Christmas Lunch Incident (seriously might be one of the funniest sitcom specials ever. WATCH IT) Vicar of Dibley: Winter (Town puts on a nativity play, almost as funny as The Christmas Lunch Incident) The Hogfather

I don't recall the latter (wasn't it part of a series of reunion episodes?) but I LOVED TCLI. Alice's mother is still memorable: "You did, didn't you?"

Yeah, it was one of the seasonal specials from 1999-2000. They did one episode for each season. It's great fun. They end up doing a nativity play on Owen's farm in the actual stables. Geraldine gets a bit intense with directing in the rehearsals. A very pregnant Alice plays Mary. David plays King Herod and wants to show Herod "softer side." I don't know if it is on any streaming services currently outside of a Britbox subscription, but I know it is on Dailymotion.
