#9 - Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town 

#9 of Top 10 Christmas Movies Ever

Who doesn't have childhood memories of this innovative claymation TV movie from 1970(made with the same stop-motion animation as Rudolph) is also an old holiday favorite.

It's about Kris Kringle - the man who becomes Santa Claus - and how he brings toys to children in a town that has outlawed them. What makes this movie a Christmas classic is the fearsome Winter Warlock's transformation into a compassionate wizard with the wonderful song "Put One Foot In Front of the Other."

Based on a story by Charles Dickens about an old miser named Scrooge who learns compassion when three ghosts visit him on Christmas Eve, this makes a great holiday movie because it's thrilling and it has a nice message.

With a variety of "remakes" (1976, 1977, 1999, or 2000) viewers have a true ability to choose their favorite.

#7 - How the Grinch Stole Christmas 

#7 of Top 10 Christmas Movies

Whether you are talking about the most recent version starring Jim Carey or the original 1966 animated classic is the only version that does justice to Dr. Seuss. In it, the Grinch (a non-human Scrooge) tries to ruin Christmas for the Whos in Whoville by stealing their presents, trees, and holiday treats. Of course, the Grinch has a change of heart and finds love and friendship with the Whos.

#5 - It's a Wonderful Life 

#5 of Top 10 Christmas Movies

What holiday movie list would be complete without this 1946 Frank Capra classic, starring James Stewart?

A man about to commit suicide during the holidays because he's financially ruined is stopped by an angel who shows him what life would be like if he'd never existed. It's a charming movie - part romance, part pathos, and a celebration of life.

#4 - Miracle on 34th Street 

#4 of Top 10 Christmas Movies

A true classic, in this 1947 movie, a Macy's executive tries to find a new store Santa. She hires an old man named Kris Kringle who claims to be the one-and-only Santa Claus. Of course, such claims can get you into trouble and Kris ends up being hospitalized for some kind of delusional disorder. Hope comes in the form of a young man who wants to help Kris prove that he is really and truly Santa.

#3 - The Year Without a Santa Claus 

#3 of Top 10 Christmas Movies

Another instant classic from the 70's featuring claymation figures as the starring role. Santa finds himself feeling too discouraged to make his Christmas rounds. He's sick and he doesn't think that kids believe in him anymore. Two elves embark on a quest to find children who still believe in Santa.The plot is pretty flimsy, but children won't mind - they'll be too taken with the catchy musical numbers.

#2 - Little Women 

#2 of Top 10 Christmas Movies

This 1994 adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's beloved children's book tells the story of the five March daughters and their mother - how they live and keep their family strong during the Civil War.

#1 - A Christmas Story 

#1 of Top 10 Christmas Movies

This 1983 comedy celebrates the sort of Christmas a young boy may have had in the 1940s.

Young Ralphie Parker wants only one thing: a Red Ryder Carbine Action 200 Shot Range Model Air Rifle. His parents don't want him to shoot his eye out and refuse to get it. Wacky hijinks ensue as Ralphie develops some very creative ploys to convince his mother and father that this is the only thing they should give him.
