Theres a laundry list of Quasi-Christmas movies starting at the top at Die Hard but including Gremlins, Batman Returns, Home Alone, Edward Scissorhands, Rocky IV, Trading Places etc....
The gold standard, for sure.This is the only one I seek out every year.
Gremlins is fantastic.
Home Alone is great.
The Night Before (Rogen, Gordon-Levitt, Mackie) is a good newer one.
I haven’t watched Christmas Vacation in decades. Christmas Story is good to watch but the whole airing it literally all day is kinda dumb to me.

Don't know if it is the best but Miracle on 34th Street is a fav of mine.
Home Alone
Die Hard
White Christmas

Best song?
I would nominate Nat King Cole's "Christmas Song".
My fav however would be "I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas"

Loved that duo and one of my favorites too.
Here is a version I like too from a band that should have took off like REM did during the 80's but never did for some reason.
There is a side story to that. I forget the reason why, but Bowie refused to go on with Bing and sing the song that Bing was singing. For some reason he didn't like the song or something like that.
Anyway this all occurred just an hour or so before the show when Bowie made his displeasure known. A music arranger came to the rescue when he wrote a counterpoint line that Bowie approved of all within an hour and he went on to do what has become a memorable Christmas song clip.
These are the only three we regularly watch. And Die Hard.

I will second this as I added it to my Christmas movie rotation a few years ago. As a matter of fact, the Missus and I just finished watching it.
I have several but on of my top ones is “The Choke in Doak”. I count it as a Christmas movie since it was filmed between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
It has Santa- Bobby, the Grinch-Spurrier and Elf- Kanell.

It's not a movie, but I'm definitely viewing the Seinfeld "Festivus" episode today.
Playboy tv series: Home For The Holidays. Tastefully done of course.
