We all know It's A Wonderful Life, A Christmas Story, White Christmas, Christmas Vacation and on and on.

What are some favorites of yours that are not as widely well known?

Though it's known...

"Holiday Inn".

I like 'Christmas in Connecticut' and 'Holiday Affair.' They're both good 'curl up on the couch and drink hot chocolate' kind of movies. I also like 'The Thin Man'. It's not a Christmas movie, but it takes place during Christmastime.

First, there's another famous one that no one has mentioned: the original
"Miracle on 34th Street."

As for the less famous in the original thread:

"Santa Claus" (a.k.a. "Santa Claus the Movie")
"Holiday in Your Heart" (TV-movie; LeAnn Rimes, Bernadette Peters)
"Casper's Haunted Christmas" (direct-to-video)

I've always loved the TV movies Unlikely Angel and Ebbie.
