Obligatory Die Hard mention. Though while I think the first movie is the better movie, I think I prefer the second movie as a Christmas movie
Home Alone is also good, though I have trouble going back to the second one
I'm tempted to consider Iron Man 3, but I don't think the fact it's Christmas is as mentioned as much as it should

Along with that, one of my favorite childhood specials has been Olive The Other Reindeer. If I'm ever feeling the nostalgia I'll watch it

As far as individual episodes
- Hey Arnold Christmas
- "Living On Reds, Vitamin C and Propane" and "The Father, The Son, and JC"(King of the Hill)
- "Grift of the Magi" and "Skinner's Sense of Snow"
- "A Robot For All Seasons(Teenage Robot)
- "Christmas Who?"(Spongebob)
- "A Rocket X-Mas"(Rocket Power)
- Equestria Girls Holidays Unwrapped
- Human Error(Transformers Animated)
- "Miracle on 3rd Street"(Recess)
- Drake and Josh Christmas
- "The Most Horrible X-Mas Ever"(Invader Zim)
- "KISS Saves Santa"(Family Guy)
- A Dragon Ball Z Christmas(Robot Chicken)

I've got a ton of love for the Rankin/Bass specials and watch a bunch of them every year -  Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, Santa Claus is Comin' to Town, and (my personal favorite) The Year Without a Santa Claus.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas and A Charlie Brown Christmas are must-watches every year for me!

All of the FiM Hearth's Warming episodes are in my rotation this time of year, and so is A Very Minty Christmas!

There's very few live action Christmas films I like, but The Santa Clause has been a favorite since I was a kid.

Oh and Rapsittie Street Kids has been a mainstay for a few years lmao, it's such a trainwreck I adore it.

'Santa Claus: The Movie', released in 1985, has been one of my all-time favourite Christmas movies. I'm also very partial towards 'A Garfield Christmas', released in 1987, considering I've been a Garfield fanatic since the late 1980s.

I discovered "A Garfield Christmas" on YouTube a couple of years ago and it's my favorite of the Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas trilogy of specials. 

[Inuemon35 13]

<A Charlie Brown Christmas> like a great show to watch even when it's not Christmas season. And while I don't like it, I remember <The Polar Express> scaring me when I was a kid. lol

[Starlighty 922]

I have a few

Elf, A year without Santa clause, Frosty the snowman, Santa Clause is coming to Town, Mickey Twice Upon a Christmas,  FIm: A Hearth's Warming Tail 
White Christmas, Home Alone 1 and 2. Beauty and the Beast An Enchanted Christmas. Santa Clause 1 and 2, Deck the Halls (I think that's all) 

[The Equestria Goth 35]

Santa’s Slay, Krampus, Violent Night, Christmas Evil, Silent Night Deadly Night, Better Watch Out, The Mean One, Terrifer 3, Christmas With the Kranks, Miracle on 34th Street (1947 and 1994), A Christmas Story, A Christmas Carol (1938 and 1984) and Love Hard.

A Christmas Story is a classic.
