There are some fantastic films on that list that just happen to take place at Christmas (Die Hard, Trading Places) but for me the best, and most Christmassy film is The Snowman.

Top 3 for me would be

Home Alone
Home Alone2
The Snowman

(But why did he have to die at the end?)
(That's the snowman, not Kevin McAllister)

Actually Im calling BS on this list. The  A Christmas Carol starring Alastsir Sim would have to be in the list imo. Would be in my top 3.

You must like that one Tikay, or is it a bah humbug from you?

Treat Gill to that one.

How can Home Alone 2 win?  It can't beat Home Alone.
16/1 is incomprehensible. Or are there each way terms?

Oh and:

1. White Christmas;
2. It's a Wonderful Life;
3. Muppets Christmas Carol.

Die Hard is a Christmas film in the same way Street Fighter is about social oppression. Yes, there is some connection there, but it's not really "about" that. It's an action movie.
