Best December Holiday Film Tournament
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.

If you don't think a film is really a December Holiday Film, then you can disqualify it in your voting and discussion. If you haven't seen a film, take a guess, or skip, whatever you prefer.

Round 1:
1. Miracle on 34th Street (1947) Vs Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984)
2. It's a Wonderful Life (1946) Vs All Through the House (2015)
3. A Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) Vs An American Christmas Carol (1979)
4. A Christmas Story (1983) Vs Christmas Cruelty! (2013)

5. Black Christmas (1974) Vs The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)
6. A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965) Vs Edward Scissorhands (1990)
7. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989) Vs Rare Exports (2010) Vs Two Front Teeth (2006)

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.
