For the super classic feels, A Christmas Story & It's A Wonderful Life.

I couldn't make it past 20 minutes of Elf tbh 

And let me tell you, from my experience this movie is local to the US.

The Nightmare Before Christmas is a really fantastic movie that bridges Halloween with Christmas 

It recently was inducted into the National Film Registry and LEGO is about to do a 30th anniversary set, so it definitely stood the test of time.

"Best. Christmas. Ever!" (2023, Netflix Original), 2.3
