To me a thing that could not be sold has no value. 
It could rent itself out for 99 years maybe.

I love (in no particular order):

A Christmas Story. SFIrish doesn't understand this one. Maybe it's more relatable for dudes.
Die Hard. Obviously.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the animated one).
A Charlie Brown Christmas
Ted Lasso, Season 2, Episode 4 (Carol of the Bells).
Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer
A Nightmare Before Christmas 
Does Lethal Weapon count?
 

For whatever reason, Elf and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation never really hit for me (I really liked the original, not sure why the Christmas version isn't higher on my list). I haven't seen It's A Wonderful LIfe in a long time. I liked the Holdovers, but I'm not sure I would put it in my top list. We used to watch The Polar Express every year with the kids, but I can't say I love it.

Curious. I've never heard it referred to as a Christmas movie before. Great movie.

It's kind of a secret Christmas movie.  Look around Fred Savage's room, and it's definitely Christmas.

Lord did I hate “Love Actually.”

I recall enjoying “bad Santa“ but I haven’t watched it as a real life adult, and I’m not sure if that’s a good idea

I can understand why people don't like Love Actually.  I just personally find it to be clever, and uplifting.  Bill Nighy as the aging rock star is among my favorite performances by any actor in any movie, ever.

I absolutely loathed Bad Santa. Juvenile and trite.  IMO.

Serious question. Do you really consider Die Hard a Christmas movie, or are you just trolling?  It seems like this topic cropped up about 5-10 years ago, for no reason whatsoever, and it just seems so silly.  

I will not die on this hill, but Die Hard is absolutely not a Christmas movie for the following reasons: 
- It was released in July, obviously not Christmas season. 
- Christmas was not a central part of the plot, only a small element of the plot. 
- it’s not traditionally shown around Christmas, at least on the stations that I watch.  
- It was never promoted or themed as a Christmas movie. 
- It’s not really family friendly.  You wouldn’t sit down and watch it with your 5 year old kids.  “Yippie Kiyeah Motherfucker” 
- None of the sequels were even remotely associated with Christmas. 

We could go down the list of lots of movies that could be a Christmas movie, but somehow this one always makes a lot of conversation. What about Gremlins?

On a side note, they released “ A Christmas Story Story” last year, and it’s a really decent movie with most of the cast of the original.  I really enjoyed watching it, and thought it was well written and blended elements of the original well with the new.
