Allow me to start! Every year I always always ALWAYS make sure to watch Olive the Other Reindeer along with Klaus at least once during the month of December.
Olive the Other Reindeer is just too charming to pass up when the holidays roll around the corner. That little dog going on a crazy adventure to save Christmas is just a flurry of nostalgia!
Klaus is a rather new addition for me.
The animation is just beyond STUNNING!!! I still remember when there was an animation testing teaser released on Sergio Pablo's Vimeo channel many years ago. I recall thinking, "Man, it'd be amazing if they actually went through with this and made it into a real full-length movie!" To my surprise, Klaus finally made its debut on a rather popular streaming service. :D
I can't help but encourage everyone to give them both a watch if you're really into Christmas classics.
Testing...testing.... Is this thing on??
A few selective Rankin-Bass films. I don't think I'll ever be tired of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and their earlier Christmas films. Santa Claus is Coming to Town is starting to become a favorite of mine, next to the Year Without Santa Claus.
If I'm to be honest I only ever watched Rudolph and frosty and IDK if people are expecting hallmark movies in which case I have never seen in my life lol
OK now I'm thinking of it, aside from the original claymation classics, Klaus is KING. The animation, story, characters, everything is top not

Because of an old Fox Trot comic from twenty some years ago, I would watch Terminator 2 Judgement Day.
For the record, I don't celebrate Christmas or any holiday.
My family generally keeps the TV on the channels that A Christmas Story plays on all Christmas Day. Other favorites include It's A Wonderful Life and The Charlie Brown Christmas special.
Within the past decade, I became a fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K to its fans). There is one episode during the Joel Hodgson era that riffs on a badly made sci-fi/Christmas film called Santa Claus Conquers The Martians. And despite the bad visual effects, awkward dialogue, and sheer silliness of having that title without any Martians actually being conquered (at least not in the military sense), it's got quite a heartwarming story underneath it all. So that also has a special place in my heart, B-movie aesthetic and riffing robots and "Let's Have a Patrick Swayze Christmas" and all.
A learning experience is one of those things that say, "You know that thing you just did? Don't do that." - Douglas Adams My wishlist.
It's not a "classic," but my Christmastime guilty pleasure is Noelle. xD We also make it a point to watch Elf, Klaus, and Christmas Chronicles, too. Klaus gives me serious Emperor's New Groove vibes!
I don't have a holiday classic I rewatch each year. I'm lucky to watch a holiday themed movie at some point near Christmas lol. It's nice reading about others' classics and watches though.
Klaus is an incredible film, a great pick! I also really love Arthur Christmas, but my favorite classic is Rankin/Bass's Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas.... Jim Carrey version :)
Every year on December 1st I watch Love Actually while I decorate. Then we watch The Nightmare Before Christmas. Elf is for Christmas Eve along with Home Alone.
I love Terminator 2!
My favorite Christmas time movie is Gremlins.

I love watching the old claymation specials. My go-tos are Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town and The Year Without a Santa Claus. Nightmare Before Christmas is another one I have loved since I was little. And then Elf, The Santa Clause and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. I don't watch all of them every year, but I kinda always pick from those.
