Seems a bit restrictive to make it "holiday themed". A significant amount of season should be enough, it shouldn't have to be "about" the holidays.
Throw Love Actually onto your lists, great film that takes place around the holidays.

Good luck to the rest of you though!

Hell I'll try it. At least my wife will actually watch with me, unlike any horror stuff. will definitely have to squeeze in the horror xmas stuff. Black Christmas for sure.
If new years movies count, it will be a bit easier. Double feature night of Assault on Precinct 13 original and remake for sure.
Does "all through the house" from Tales From the Crypt S1 count?
Place holder.
1. Battle Royale II
2. Badder Santa
3. X-mas Vacation w/ star commentary
4. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
5. Black Christmas
6. Elf
7. Muppets X-mas Carol
8. Charlie Brown Christmas
9. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer & the Island of Misfit Toys
10. Scrooged
11.

I might just rotate Home Alone, A Christmas Story, and Elf for the 25 days until Christmas
Tack Home Alone on the list. After a cursory glance, I didn't see it mentioned. Could be wrong.
