In a sea of seasonal duds, television is awash with all-time classics.
It is no small irony that the one time of the year when we seem to have the time to put up our feet and watch a lot of TV, that TV shuts up shop for the “non-ratings” period and sets us adrift. Television can be cruel in that way.
But before we get into the weeds of our task – to find the best Christmas movies, made-for-television Christmas films, and Christmas television specials of all time – let’s knock out some housekeeping.. In the space of just four years, Hollywood cranked out three films that top Christmas lists everywhere. And, of course,, a film so astonishingly awful that it almost defies reason and good sense.
Somewhere in between, however, there sits an assembly of the great, the glorious and the wonderfully eccentric, those future Christmas classics whose company Stan’s new Christmas movieSome are films with which you could play Christmas Movie “bingo”, ticking off tropes and clichés such as returning to a hometown, a baking scene, carollers at the door, a charity event at risk, meeting in a Christmas tree market, a delayed flight or a scene in ugly Christmas sweaters.
