I'm going to go with Scrooged as my favorite Christmas movie, though Elf is very close. The latter is probably a bit funnier, the former does a better job of getting to the heart of Christmas spirit, in my opinion.
 
Oh, and related to the poll, I have a fairly strict definition for what makes a Christmas movie. There has to be a theme or motif centered around "the true meaning of Christmas." Die Hard, while excellent in just about every respect, doesn't clear this hurdle. But it's Shane Black-written cousin from the same era, Lethal Weapon, actually does clear that hurdle. So I always encourage people to shift their thinking on the oddly persistent pop cultural question of whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas movie. As great as it is, maybe try hanging with Riggs and Murtaugh instead. 👍

Yeah, I don't care. It still gets my vote. :)

Home Alone could also happen for any family trip, not just a Christmas vacation.

Elf is a close second. A couple other less well-known flicks not mentioned are The Ref and We're No Angels (1955 flick - one of dad's favorites).

The time you spent explaining your decision for a trivia, I thought you'd be a fan of Grinch.

Yea, but you picked A Christmas Carol, which doesn't even have a serial killer; the bare minimum to pass as a Christmas movie. Also, no Silent Night Deadly Night Part 2? Did we just forget about Garbage Day? (I haven't actually seen A Christmas Carol. By any chance is it about of group of carolers who go around killing people who don't offer them hot chocolate?)
