It’s a Wonderful Life (1946)​

'It's A Wonderful Life'.
 
We have a long list that we watch each year and It's a Wonderful Life is on top. I like all kinds of Christmas movies but the wife is more traditional, lol. The Homecoming, The Family Man, Four Christmases, The Holiday, The Polar Express, Angels Sing, Daddy's Home 2, Dolly Parton's Christmas of Many Colors, Mrs. Miracle, Miracle on 34'th Street (1947), Home Alone, Elf, The Grinch, Holiday Engagement, A Christmas Story, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, The Christmas Chronicles, Trapped in Paradise, and more.

I need to check The Nativity Story.

WOW!!!!! WHERE DO YOU FIND ALL OF THESE OR DO YOU HAVE THEM?
 
I think I know every line in It’s a Wonderful Life! Just watched The Bishop’s Wife last night, (Cary Grant, Loretta Young and David Niven), it was my mom’s favorite. I’d forgotten that one of the kids in the snowball fight scene also played young George Bailey.
 
We also have most of what BFletcher has listed and a total of 24 Christmas DVDs. Problem is we can't stay awake long enough to watch maybe two at the most on any night.
 
"However, during Comedy Central’s 2018 Roast of Bruce Willis, the star finally gave his input on the Die Hard debate 30 years after the film’s release. “I did this roast for one reason and for one reason only, to settle something once and for all,” said Willis. “Now, please listen very carefully: Die Hard is not a Christmas movie! It’s a goddamn Bruce Willis movie.”

Despite Willis’ opinion, Billingsley convinced de Bont otherwise.

“I went through my criterion,” Billingsley tells PEOPLE. ”And he said, ‘I’ve never thought about it that way.’ He said, ‘You have now convinced me it is a Christmas movie.’ And I was like, ‘Yes!’ So I was able to change a filmmaker's mind, which was cool.”
 
In no particular order:

Elf
Christmas Story
Die Hard
Charlie Brown Christmas (not a movie, but required viewing, IMHO)
Home Alone
