Christmas classics on Max

Buddy the elf goes to New York to find his dad and treats the whole city like the North Pole. Will Ferrell, 2003, and it is on Prime and Max. If the room can only agree on one movie, it is often this.

A boy who is starting to doubt gets a train to the North Pole. The motion-capture looks like a dream, the song is stuck in the culture, and Max has it.

Clark Griswold wants a perfect Christmas and the house, the relatives, and a squirrel have other plans. On Max. Quote it only if everyone in the room can take a PG-13 joke.

Ralphie wants a Red Ryder BB gun, the Old Man battles the furnace, and a lamp shaped like a leg arrives. On Max. You can recite parts of it and still be happy it is on.

Ralphie is the dad now, and he wants the Christmas he remembers for his own kids. The 2022 sequel, on Max, for people who grew up with the lamp.

The Kranks try to skip Christmas and the neighborhood will not allow it. Broad, sunny, and on Max. A good one when you want the comedy turned up.

Charles Dickens is broke, blocked, and haunted into writing A Christmas Carol. Dan Stevens and Christopher Plummer, on Max. A lovely making-of for people who love the book.

Two shop clerks who cannot stand each other are falling in love by letter, and neither one knows. The 1940 film that later became You've Got Mail. On Max. Still perfect.
