We'll never understand why The Muppet Christmas Carol doesn't get more love. The music is alternately joyous (above) and tear-inducing, like "Bless Us All," which seriously still gets us.
The Christmas story in Smoke is sublime.
A movie whose IMDb plot keywords are "Nativity / Urination Scene" might not sound like a holiday classic, but 1994's The Ref is actually pretty decent. Dennis Leary, Judy Davis, Kevin Spacey--tough to keep a cast like that down.
The Ice Storm isn't a cheery Christmas movie, but it is fantastic. Ang Lee's 1973-set suburban ennui drama gets better with repeat viewings.
And if you're looking for classic-classic, the Barbara Stanwyck/Fred MacMurray tale of the redemptive power of love is a total charmer.

The muppet christmas carol is the best christmas movie ever!
Muppets, great songs, Michael Caine and the fact that they literally used Dickens' words makes this no doubt one of the best Christmas Carol adaptations ever!
Watch the band kid get hit in the face around 1:58-2:00 on the clip...Priceless.
They should run a top ten list of overrated Christmas movies and "A Christmas Story" should be numbers one through ten.
If I have to hear "you'll shoot your eye out" one more time, I'm gonna snap and hunt down spook.
