It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. We’ll all be sick of “Granny Got Run Over By a Reindeer” by the time we can open presents. But there is one great thing about the holidays, and that’s the movies.
Sure, there are plenty of bad Christmas films (Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, anyone?), but there are lots of wonderful movies for the season, as schmaltzy as many might be.
Last year, the editors at Disc Dish compiled a list of our favorite Christmas movies and put them in an Advent calendar, revealing one every day leading up to Santa Day.
This year, you get to choose! We’ve giving you, our readers, the chance to join in the list-making. Until midnight Nov. 29, leave a comment on this page with your 5 favorite Christmas films. (You can leave more if you want, but give us at least five. We know you’ve got at least 5.)
We’ll compile them into a new Top 25 list and begin a new Christmas Movie Advent Calendar on Dec. 1.
For ideas, check out last year’s Christmas Movie Advent Calendar. But don’t feel that you have to stick to these. Tell us all your favorites, from the most well-known to the most obscure.
And this year, we’re opening it up to include TV specials too — that’s right, Peanuts, Dr. Who, the British The Office. If they’re in your favorites, include them too.
Merry Christmas!

From Wikipedia: The House Without a Christmas Tree is a 1972 television movie, novelized into a children’s book by Gail Rock in 1974,[1] that centers on the relationship between Adelaide “Addie” Mills (Lisa Lucas), a bright and energetic only child, and her melancholy father, James Addison Mills III (Jason Robards). James had never recovered from the death of his wife Helen (Addie’s mother), and is bitterly against ever having a Christmas tree in the house. The videotaped production was seen regularly on CBS during the holiday season between 1972 and 1977.
