A Christmas Carol (specifically, the George C. Scott version)
How the Grinch Stole Christmas(The good one!)
A Christmas Story
It's a Wonderful Life
And, though I wouldn't call it a favorite, I do remember watching the Babes in Toyland movie quite a bit growing up. It was oddly charming. Or maybe that's just the nostalgia talking.

The Legend of Hell House. (Seriously, it DOES take place leading up to Christmas. And it rocks.)

Sharp blades are good to have, if Shire-folk go walking, east, south, far away into dark and danger.

Just watched Hawkeye for the 2nd time around which takes place during Christmas. Not a Christmas movie per se, but lots of Christmas tunes and festivities going on during the course of it. Nice if you don't want to get clobbered over the head with it.

A Christmas Story, because I was a poor northern Ohio kid; even though the story took place decades before me, they nailed what that was like.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas, because Max.
Albert Finney's Scrooge, because when Isabelle sings "Happiness," it knocks me to the floor--and its emotive punch only increasing as I look back upon wider and wider expanses of time--but by the end I, too, am singing and dancing, and for the same reasons.
A Charlie Brown Christmas, because of the soft voice of the first-grader Linus, who laid it down so elegantly that even adults could understand; and upon an empty stage, to a room of one, gave us the first, and best-ever, mic-drop.
And, of course, The Life of Brian, to remind us all to laugh at ourselves frequently enough to stay healthy.

It's a Wonderful Life National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation Trans-Siberian Orchestra: The Ghosts of Christmas Eve (not exactly a movie, but it's amazing) The Ref (A lot of people I know haven't seen this one. If you like Denis Leary, you need to check it out!) Scrooge w/ Albert Finney (I'm also a big fan of the George C. Scott and Patrick Stewart versions of A Christmas Carol, but I grew up watching the Finney version, so it's ingrained on my soul.)
