Best December Holiday Film Tournament

DEFINITION: Our tourney is defining a December Holiday Film as a film that has a tradition of being broadcast and viewed during December, and films in which the December holiday plays a significant role in the plot and/or theme.

Discussion is welcome! Post your votes below!

Contest 7 & 8 are between three films.

Ok I lied; I need some time to think and come back to finish this... The last three are kinda in the air atm.

If you have Shudder, they're streaming Black Christmas right now.

No problem! We'll obviously poke a little into January with this tourney. But being it's usually the coldest time of year, we'll all have time to play.


Interesting you mention Edward Sissorhands...

Does anyone think Ed is not a December Holiday Film? Thoughts?

Might check it out on YouYube or something, but I don't usually watch holiday films after Christmas is over.

I've only ever seen Ed once so I cannot say, but I remember snow. Snow = Christmas. Always.

2. It's A Wonderful Life, despite my issues with this film. I'll elaborate if this movie goes further in the tournament.
3. A Nightmare Before Christmas
4. A Christmas Story
5. Black Christmas (74)

7. Nat Lamps Christmas Vacation
