Best "Holiday Special?"

[The Lizard Queen]

Christmas, Hanukkah, Festivus, whatever.
Everyone watches these shows and movies every holiday season, over and over again... But which is the best? And what do you watch this time of year?

Star Wars

Does "The Nightmare Before Christmas" count? Because that's my pick.

 

[Flowers For Sonichu]

All the current answers are wrong, The best Christmas Special is the only Holiday film anyone ever need's...

It is the ultimate in Christmas films, it's full of great seasonal messages.

Let me tell you about my three favorite Christmas Movies:

"Scrooged" with Bill Murray, Carol Kane, and the guy who sang "Hot Hot Hot" teaches you the importance of remembering the true meaning of the holiday season and to remember those less fortunate than yourself.

"Die Hard" with Bruce Willis, Alan Rickman, and Huey Lewis' evil doppelganger, is all about triumph over adversity during the stressful holiday season and remembering to keep your loved ones close.

"Santa's Slay" with Bill Goldberg, the guy from 7th Heaven that turned out to be a pedo and a bunch of Canadians teaches you about being true to yourself and respecting traditions, both yours and the beliefs of others during this holiday season.

Does Planes, Trains and Automobiles count? That film is great.

 

[Apocalypso]

Well, it's set around Christmas and sorta has to do with it, so yeah-

The full movie is also on YouTube if you're into that kinda thing.

Jingle all the Way is a guilty pleasure for me, I love me some Arnold Schwarzenegger and the movie is really silly and over the top.

It isn't Christmas at my home until we've watched this:

Aside from that, my yearly Christmas watching generally includes "Son of Stimpy", Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol, The Year Without a Santa Claus and the good version of The Grinch, not the incredibly shitty Jim Carrey version that people seem to like for some reason.

I saw part of this one a long time ago and have been looking for it for years. The recording ending partway through so I never got to see them repair the clock and convince Santa to come back. But I didn't know the title and I guess it's on the obscure side because nobody knew what I was talking about. So thank you.

It can't be that obscure. South Park did a whole episode parody of it.
