Recent movies that are starting to become perennial faves:
8-Bit Christmas- basically a Gen-X version of A Christmas Story. Instead of a BB gun, the kids are all trying to get their hands on the first Nintendo Entertainment System. Lots of 80s nostalgia, some great performances, and a funny & heartwarming story.
A Christmas Story Christmas- direct sequel to the original with Peter Billingsley returning as the grown up Ralphie, as well as a few other cast members from the original. Much better than I expected. Last year we watched both films back to back on Xmas Day.
Location: In my office, at the Ministry of Awesome!
Exp:
The Princess Switch
The Princess Switch: Switched Again
The Princess Switch 3: Romancing The Star
(I have a fully formed plot for "Princess Switch 4: Switched at Birth", but no one in Hollywood is taking my calls)
Ted Lasso: Carol of the Bells

I like that one where the previously successful business man runs into hard times, moves back home to small town Idaho to take over the family restaurant at Christmas and his recently divorced high school sweetheart just coincidentally stumbles in and they re-connect.

I can't watch the same films year after year so try to vary it up.
I really liked Hawkeye but not something I see myself rewatching.
This year I think we'll go with Christmas Vacation, Muppets Christmas Carol and Polar Express.
Would love a new movie to break into the rotation but my interest wasn't piqued by the Ryan Reynolds/Will Ferrell one. Hopefully something shows up this year.
The Holiday with Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet is pretty good.
Last year I watched that new one with Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds and quite liked it.
Can't stand Elf.

Thanks to near-perfect timing during my impressionable youth, this is tops on my list. A Muppet Family Christmas isn't as well known as their Christmas Carol, but to me it kicks-ass. Also bonus points for being the last on-screen performance of Jim Henson.
It's kinda hard to find, but it's on YouTube (upscaled, no less).

Look out for the icy patch!

I've never heard of this one, sounds good. Just on TV randomly or a different platform?
