Starring the voices of Boris Karloff and June Foray
For a special that's only 30 minutes long, it's impressive to see how much musical magic can be contained in such a brief amount of time. While it's true that the soundtrack is essentially different renditions of the same two songs, that doesn't mean they aren't without their merits. RELATED: 10 Hilarious How The Grinch Stole Christmas Memes To Brighten The Holidays "Welcome Christmas" is practically the anthem of Who-Ville, but the special as a whole earns a mention simply for creating one o...
Starring Maya Rudolph and Matthew Broderick
On paper, it might seem strange to give a movie like A Christmas Story a musical adaptation, but as unusual as it is, the production is truly unique and entertaining as long as the audience doesn't take the adaptation too seriously. There are musical numbers about game shows and, of course, the infamous BB gun, and that's only part of the equation. The cast also features the likes of Matthew Broderick, Maya Rudolph, and David Alan Grier to bring a healthy dose of star power to all the likable...
Starring Kelsey Grammer and Jane Krakowski
Charles Dickens' classic has been musically adapted countless times, but Hallmark's version in 2004 is blatantly and unapologetically over the top. Of course, when the cast consists of comedic character actors like Kelsey Grammer, Jason Alexander, and Jane Krakowski, it's practically mandatory.

Starring Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire
Irving Berlin and Bing Crosby are two names associated with musicals and Christmas and for very good reason. Not only did the pair bring listeners the song "White Christmas," but it brought forth one of the best Christmas musical films, with all the song and dance a movie of the era could ask for. In Holiday Inn, Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire are the swinging duo of this holiday favorite, as a song and dance pair who must come together to perform at the titular Holiday Inn. With music, dancing...
Starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer
Though it might be one of the more debatable Christmas movies, The Sound of Music does seem to be aired on repeat around the holiday season. The Oscar-winning musical inspired by the tale of the Von Trapp family singers is an undisputed classic, and rightfully so. From the creative minds of Rogers and Hammerstein comes this tale of music, freedom, and family in a time of turmoil and trouble. Led by the incomparable Julie Andrews, it's simply one of those flicks that's practically impossible t...

- Emily Longeretta
- The Nightmare Before Christmas. The story of Jack Skellington opening up a portal between Halloween Town and Christmas Town is executed in glorious stop-motion with fantastic, dark and spindly animation.
- It’s a Wonderful Life. It’s not easy turning a film about attempted suicide into a festive family favourite – but Frank Capra and his leading man James Stewart did exactly that with It’s A Wonderful Life.
- Home Alone. One of the greatest Christmas movies of all time? Why not? Home Alone is now over 30 years old, but for many of us Christmas doesn’t feel like Christmas until we’ve spent 90 minutes watching Macaulay Culkin terrorising a pair of hapless burglars.
- The Holiday. Romantic comedy specialist Nancy Meyers takes on the Christmas season in this glossy, schmaltzy transatlantic yarn that raises a few laughs while not being quite as vom-inducing as Love Actually.
