Christmas Movies: Classics, Culture, and One Truly Awful Film

Everyone has a favorite Christmas movie. The one they swear by. The one that defines the season for them.

I suppose I do too — though I’ve learned over the years that my list doesn’t always line up with the popular consensus. Some movies are great films that just happen to be set at Christmas. Others are full-on Christmas experiences, shaped as much by culture and tradition as by storytelling.
