GTKY: Cheesy Christmas movies!

[beckynsean11]

I'm sitting here watching Ernest Saves Christmas for the first time since I was a kid. I forgot how much I loved this movie, lol.

What's everyone's favorite awesome, but awful, Christmas movie?

[BabyStandish]

Jingle All the Way!

[BabyStandish]

There's a couple on Netflix that aren't too bad, like 12 dates of Christmas and Christmas Kiss.

Netflix has a ton of movies that I've never heard of.

Pretty much anything on the Hallmark channel. Although I was watching ABC Family the other night while wrapping gifts and they had some pretty awful yet adorable Frosty and Rudolph spin offs.

Eloise at Christmas, Mrs. Miracle, and 12 Days of Christmas! All are awesome/awful!

Haha, I just watched Frosty and Rduloph's Christmas in July for the first time the other day.

Yes! That was one of the ones I watched too. And then there was one about Frosty and his wife.

I made H go to Target the other night to buy the Charlie Brown holiday collection and the classics collection that has Rudolph, Frosty, and Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Because I missed CB when it aired, and the others are just my absolute favorites.

There's also Three Days and The Christmas List on ABC Family. I always watch those when they come on!

Jingle All the Way, Santa Clause, Olive the Other Reindeer... I love me some Christmas movies.

Personally, I think the Frosty Returns one with John Goodman is so much worse than the one with him getting a wife.

longhornwino0907 I love Santa Claus is Coming to Town!

It's one of the best!

Oh, also, Year Without a Santa Claus came on last night and I scared my H with my ability to only watch this movie once a year and still know the song by the Miser brothers

Favorite but awful Christmas movies?

Bernard and the Genie
Santa's Slay

I feel like onesweetworld and pippacricket would have pleeeeeeenty of recommendations for cheesy Christmas movies.

[longhornwino0907]

I didn't necessarily go with awful. Although I imagine many would find the classics cheesy.

Oh one I just remembered always watching when I was younger, and it probably it pretty bad but it's been a while: The Night They Saved Christmas. Mom had it recorded on beta and we would snuggle up together on Christmas Eve and watch it every year.

[jwinct]

A Princess for Christmas is a great, cheesy one. And Sam Heughan is easy on the eyes, so bonus.

[ceejay]

This isn't even a real movie, but I always love watching the "Christmas yule log" DVD while I wrap presents on Christmas Eve. You know, the one with the fake fireplace animation and Christmas songs playing in the background?

My dad loves the yule log. It had to be playing in the background when we opened presents Christmas morning. I think there was a station that used to just play that on Christmas morning.   What makes it even funnier is that my dad is Jewish.  He enjoyed all of the catholic holidays with us when I was growing up, I think because he never got to them...

Okay, this is good and all, but you know you have to make an amendment to watching it this year. See below.

I love "Muppet family christmas" and the garfield christmas special for family friendly movies/shows.

If it's only adults around, a big favorite in my house is the Hebrew hammer.

The Nine Lives of Christmas (Hallmark) 
Christmas Under Wraps (Hallmark) 
The Most Wonderful Time of the Year (Hallmark) 
Matchmaker Santa (Hallmark)

Does Love Actually count? Cuz that's my go-to.

[BurritosAtEveryMeal]

Oh and I think I've seen the Curious George Christmas movie at least 15 times this week alone. I can partly blame DS, but I freakin love that movie.

Yes x 1,000,000 to Eloise at Christmas!!!!! I seriously love Eloise way too much for any grown adult, she still gives me all the feels

Yes!!! I wish I could be Eloise! I keep sneaking it in our DVD player. MH doesn't appreciate it for the classic it is!

Me too.  I hate-watch some parts and love some other parts.  Like the parts with Hugh Grant and the secretary - barf.  The part with the stalker guy and Keira Knightley?  Not cute.  Creepy.  The parts with Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson?  Fantastic.  Also, Martin Freeman is adorable.  You all can have Cumberbatch.  For me, it's Watson, all day.
