We all must have a list of films with which the Christmas period would not be complete.
My personal list is this:

Die Hard
Where Eagles Dare (because it's got snow in it)
It's a Wonderful Life
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation
Scrooged
Muppets Christmas Carol
The Nightmare before Christmas
Bad Santa
Elf

Be interesting to see what others like.

Mrs L will have Elf and Love Actually on at some time.

We went to see The Holiday when it first came out and have watched it every Christmas Eve since (I do like Kate Winslet). Lots of fuss re Jude Law & the cottage today, not sure why, we've known that for ages.

May well see Where Eagles Dare again, having been to the castle in Austria (it's well worth a visit).

The usuals, but I’ve got nearly 2 weeks off work and I usually see that time as ideal for catching up on any unseen film I’ve been meaning to watch through the year.

For some reason I often like to watch the six Hobbit and LoTR films over Xmas.

Not a true Christmas film but "Planes, Trains and Automobiles"
The Grinch (the 2018 animated version)
I always wind up watching some Jason Bourne film at Christmas time..so probably Identity or Supremacy.

A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas
Box of Delights, okay it's not a film but if it ever got a reboot I'd be interested to see it in film format
