The 21st Annual Holiday Challenge List Thread



Lets make this the list thread for all of us to keep track of what Holiday movies and tv shows we are watching. Most importantly just have fun!!!

OFFICIAL RULES

-Movies, TV shows/specials, Short Films & Cartoons Count

-The movie or TV show DOES NOT need to be holiday oriented. It could simply take place during the holiday season (i.e. Batman Returns, Gremlins, Die Hard, etc.)

-Although the movie doesn't have to take place during the holiday season, a MAJORITY of the film HAS to take place during the holiday season. No movies with just one scene during the holiday season. If you're not sure, ASK!

-Any holiday from Thanksgiving through New Years Day may count

-A film can only be viewed once, UNLESS you watch it and then watched it again with a commentary

-There is no global goal, shoot for a personal goal. Whatever you want your goal to be go for it. For returning participants maybe your goal should be to beat a previous year's goal.

-Again, like past years there will be a THREE Wild Card option to include movies or TV shows you might watch during the holiday season that is not holiday oriented. Some families have watched movies like Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory every Christmas So anything is allowed, up to 3.

-Specials such as the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, New Years Rockin' Eve, etc. can count, but you MUST watch the entire special in order to count it.

-PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE number your lists! If you do not number your list it will not count towards the challenge

-It doesn't matter how you see the film, VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray, HD-DVD, Laserdisc, YouTube, Streaming services, Theatrical release, it can be counted. Just have fun.

-The challenge will begin at dusk on Saturday, November 22, 2025 and will end on Saturday, January 3, 2026.

My 2025 Christmas movies ranking list on letterboxd

PRE CHALLENGE:
29 Holiday movies were watched between Oct 18 & Nov 21
First of the season was Hallmark's "A Royal Montana Christmas" on Oct 18

NOVEMBER 22
1/2. MISTLETOE MURDERS S2S5 - (2025) - [Hallmark] ★★★★✰- See review below.
1. MISTLETOE MURDERS S2S6 - (2025) [Hallmark] ★★★✰✰ - I love the characters in this series, especially the cop, Sam. The mysteries are just OK. Episodes 5&6 introduce a new murder involving a restaurant owner and solve it in 2 episodes. It looks like this is the end of S2.
2. ONE STARRY CHRISTMAS - (2014) [Hallmark] ★★★★✰ - (3.5 stars) I liked this more than expected. The cowboy romance was a bit hokey, but it worked. I liked that the cowboy was the fish-out-of-water in this movie, visiting NYC. George Canyon singing the Ballad of Wild Bill stole the show.

NOVEMBER 23
3. HOLIDAY TOUCHDOWN: A BILL'S LOVE STORY - (2025) [Hallmark] ★★★★✰ - Super cute. I liked the authentic Midwest characters (they would have fit in my hometown in Pennsylvania), all the game fan comraderie, and the romance worked. Loved the cameos from Andrew Walker and Tyler Hynes. The pregnant sister was a hoot. Another winner from Hallmark this year.
4. CHRISTMAS NEXT DOOR - (2017) [Hallmark] ★★★✰✰ - Either I've seen this before, or the whole "Bachelor icon turns family man" plot has been used in Hallmark before (or since). Jessie Metcalfe plays an author who writes books on how great it is to be a bachelor and, of course, he hates Christmas. When his young niece and nephew have to come stay with him during the holidays, they insist on a real Christmas, so his neighbor (Fiona Gubelmann), a Christmas queen, helps out. It's cute. The kids were cute and the romance was believable. The hardcore bachelor's turn-around always a bit too quick and convenient. But, hey, it's Christmas!

NOVEMBER 24
5. MELT MY HEART THIS CHRISTMAS- (2025) [Hallmark] ★★✰✰✰ (2.5 stars) - I liked most of this but there was a constant fear about these precious glass objects breaking or the "big secret" coming out which was more tension than I like in a Christmas movie.
6. DOUBLE HOLIDAY (2019) [Hallmark] ★★★★✰ - I liked this movie a lot. Kristoffer Polaha is so charming as the average-Joe-nice guy cubicle neighbor and work partner. He really stole the show. I loved the mixed Hanukkah and Christmas themes and the Big Brother subplot. Solid all the way around.

NOVEMBER 25
7. TAKE ME BACK FOR CHRISTMAS- (2023)[Hallmark] ★★★✰✰ - There have been a number of movies with this "alternate life" plots. The best thing about this one is Corey Sevier. It's a watchable Hallmark Christmas movie, but not my favorite of this trope. Renee (played by Vanessa Lengies) finds herself transferred to a new life where she'd a high-powered CEO of her own company, but she spends almost all her time trying to get back the man (Corey Sevier) who was her husband in her original life. It would have been nice to see her coming into her own in her new life a bit more.

NOVEMBER 26
8. FINDING MR. CHRISTMAS - S2E4 - (2025)[Hallmark] ★★★★✰ - I love this show. I have no idea why. (OK, maybe a small idea)
9. SMALL TOWN CHRISTMAS - S2E4 - (2018)[Hallmark] ★★★★✰ - I’m becoming a Kristoffer Poloha fan. He always brings such a real, grounded quality to his characters. This movie has the cliched “big city developer wants to take over small town” subplot, but it’s not the main theme. The romance has great chemistry and tension. Going in my favorites list.

NOVEMBER 27
10. WE MET IN DECEMBER (2025)[Hallmark] ★★✰✰✰ - Really boring watching 2 people try to find each other until the last 2 minutes of the movie.

NOVEMBER 28
11. JINGLE BELL HEIST (2025)[Netflix] ★★★★✰ (4.5 stars) - I adored this. Definitely a fresh take on a Christmas movie / romance. This is a very clever script that builds sympathy with slow reveals about two would-be crooks and the horrible man they want to steal from. There're more than a few twists in this, and I loved the ending. Good stuff.
12. THE SNOW MUST GO ON (2025)[Hallmark] ★★★★✰ - Heartwarming teacher moments, lots of music, cute kids, and a show at the end - I really enjoyed this Hallmark premiere. It felt different and fresh and the crisis moment and resolution were believable. Good cast all the way around. It's a keeper.
13. THE MORE THE MERRIER (2025)[Hallmark] ★★✰✰✰ (2.5 stars) - I liked the hospital setting, and the plotline delivering all the babies was unique. The romance was fine. Both actors were great, but it felt a bit rushed. Especially the last kiss--it felt forced given that this all happened on one overnight shift, and they hadn't had a date. However, it was a nice ensemble movie with lots of side characters and stories. It didn't quite hit the Christmasy sweet spot for me, so it won't go on repeat.

NOVEMBER 29
14. GRAND OLE OPRY CHRISTMAS (2025)[Hallmark] ★★★✰✰ (3.5 stars) - I'm not a country music fan, but I can appreciate all the extra attention and production that went into this movie---the locations, the celebrities. The script was solid and the story worked for me. The Daddy plotline did get to me, I'll admit it. And I love Kristoffer Polaha. Not my favorite this year but definitely top tier.
15. AN ALPINE HOLIDAY (2025)[Hallmark] ★★✰✰✰ (2.5 stars) - Middle of the road Hallmark. The Alpine scenery is great but the script was mediocre and the sisters storyline didn't do much for me.

NOVEMBER 30
16. THE CHRISTMAS CUP (2025)[Hallmark] ★★✰✰✰ (2.5 stars) - Nothing new here. I was bored. I did like the male lead, Ben Rosenbaum. He had a grounded realness.
17. CHRISTMAS AT THE CATNIP CAFE (2025)[Hallmark] ★★★✰✰ (3.5 stars) - Not a super unique script, but elevated by the leads. I love Paul Campbell.

DECEMBER 1
18. A YEAR WITHOUT SANTA CLAUS (1974)[streaming] ★★★✰✰ - A fun old children's classic. And it's a musical!

DECEMBER 2
19. FINDING MR. CHRITSMAS -S1E5 (2025)[streaming] ★★★✰✰ - An OK episode.
20. TROLL 2 (2025)[streaming] ★★★✰✰ (3.5 stars) - [WILDCARD #1] This isn't a holiday movie, but it feels like one because of all the snow. I enjoyed this silliness even more than the first one.

DECEMBER 3
21. THE DR. SEUSS' HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS (2000)[streaming] ★★★✰✰ (3.5 stars) - This is great or annoying, depending on your view of Jim Carrey. I find it fun.

DECEMBER 4
22'. MY SECRET SANTA (2025)[streaming] ★★★✰✰ (3.5 stars) - This was cute. I bet Hallmark is annoyed they didn’t think of this plot first. 😄 A single mom, desperate for work, poses as a man to get a job as Santa. Meanwhile, her female self is dating her boss. It a kind of Mrs Doubtfire with genders reversed and for the holidays. We’ll Likely see similar knock-offs pop
up next year. The leads were good and I enjoyed the gay couple who designed her outfit.''

DECEMBER 5
23. OH.WHAT.FUN (2025)[streaming] ★★★✰✰ - This movie is distinctly written with an older female POV. It's a little depressing how much the family takes "Mom" for granted. Unfortunately, too true. Well acted and it was nice to see Michelle Pfeiffer again. Some of the humor fell a little flat.

DECEMBER 6
24. TIS THE SEASON TO BE MERRY (2021)[streaming] ★★✰✰✰ (2.5 stars) - The best thing about this movie was the male lead, Travis Van Winkle. The story was fun, but not especially fresh. An wanna-be author writes a book with a fictional fiance, but her publisher threatens to pull the book when she finds out. So the author flees to Vermont where she has to figure out what to do. A fine watch but not a keeper for me.
25. SHE'S MAKEING A LIST (2025)[Hallmark] ★★★✰✰ (3.5 stars) - I enjoy whimsical Christmas movies that involve Santa and all things around Santa as real things This one features a woman who spies on children for the naughty and nice life. And it must have been considered one of Hallmark's best scripts this year because it features heavy hitters Andrew Walker and Lacey Chabert. It's fun. There are some plot holes. Like Andrew Walker never is shown having any disbelief about Santa or what Lacey does for a living. That's glossed over. But I did love the NN company and the basic idea that behavior isn't black and white. I'd watch it again.
26. TINSEL TOWN (2025) [PPV amazon] ★★✰✰✰ (2.5 stars) - This is a hard movie to rate. I really liked parts of it, like the pantomime, and the father-daughter relationship. But Kiefer Suttherland's character "Brad Mac" is such a jerk for much of the film. The drunken scene was particularly heinous. Of course, he turns around at the end, but he was a little too nasty and thus the turn around not quite believable. Still, I always enjoy a new UK film for the Christmas season, and was glad to watch this one.

DECEMBER 7
27. DIE HARD (1988)[4K] ★★★★★ - I think I've rewatched this movie more than any other movie. Still the best.
28. DIE HARD 2 (1988)[blu ray] ★★★✰✰ - This movie is like eating Christmas turkey 3 days later. It's sort of the same as the amazing original and yet it's just lost flavor. There are so many times in this movie where it doesn't make sense. Why is John McClane out on a runway waving lights trying to save a plane and everyone else is just standing around? In the first movie, there was a closed set -- no one could get in or out of Nakitomi tower, so John being the one and only hero made sense. But in this movie there are many times when it is absurd that he's the only one leaping into the save the day. That said, the bad guys were pretty gnarly in this and there are some fun moments.

DECEMBER 8
29. SINGLE ON THE 25TH (2025) [Hallmark] ★★★★✰- One of the best Hallmark movies I've seen this year. More subtle and understated, fresh actors, unique premise. Two single neighbors try to encourage each other to embrace being single during the holidays and end up falling in love. Good romance.
29. FINDING MR. CHRISTMAS - S2E7 (2025)[Hallmark] ★★★✰✰ - Penultimate episode. The guy who went home was one who'd deserved it for a long time. Next week will be the finale. I'm not numbering this since they're shorter and I numbered the last one with a whole number.
30. A Christmas Murder Mystery (2025) [UPtv] ★★★✰✰ (3.5 stars)- I thought this was fun. It's a nice change from the usual Christmas movie. Very cozy and not edgy or violent at all. Loved the puzzle expert female detective.

DECEMBER 9
31. RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER (1964) [Hallmark] ★★★★✰- Haven't watched this in a long time. It still holds up.
32. CHRISTMAS IN AMISH COUNTRY (2025) [streaming] ★★✰✰✰ (2.5 stars)- I did not like the male protagonist at all. But I thought the casting on the Amish characters was actually pretty good. And the various storylines were realistic. Not a great movie by any means, but I enjoyed the home style food, scenery, and vibe. I wish we’d seen a fast forward of Claire’s new Amish style restaurant. Subtitles were completely non-sensible.

DECEMBER 10
33. THE CHRSTMAS CHRONCLES (2018) [Netflx] ★★★★★- There are a lot of great scenes in this movie. But the absolute gem is Kurt Russell as Santa singing “Merry Christmas Pretty Baby”. This movie has to get five stars just for that.
34. THE CHRSTMAS CHRONCLES 2 (2020) [Netflx] ★★★✰✰ - Not nearly as good as the first movie. The Belsnickle storyline was a little annoying. On the other hand, Mrs. Claus was a nice addition.

DECEMBER 11
35. THE CHRSTMAS HOMECOMING (2018) [Hallmark+] ★★★✰✰ (3.5 stars) - This movie has a natural pace and realistic storyline. It definitely tugged at my heartstrings. Whether or not you’re a military family, this is worth a watch.
36. A SONG FOR CHRSTMAS (2017) [Hallmark+] ★★★✰✰ - This movie had an authenticity that appealed to me. I liked the cast. For a movie featuring a pop star, it had relatively little music in it. Just one song at the end.

DECEMBER 12
37. THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY: BOOK 2 (1976) [AMC] ★★✰✰✰ - Pretty weak.
38. JOURNEY TO BETHLEHEM (2023) [Hulu] ★★★★✰ - I wanted to watch a nativity movie I hadn't seen before, and picked this one. Strange that it's a musical. Interesting cast. Antonio Banderas as Herod has some great songs. I liked it.

DECEMBER 13
39. SANTA CLAUSE IS COMIN' TO TOWN (1970) [DVD] ★★✰✰✰ - Another Rankin/Bass production. Very nostalgic.
40. A SUITE HOLIDAY ROMANCE (2025) [Hallmark] ★★★✰ - Dominic Sherwood made this movie. He was convincing as a highly-organized butler/royal aide and as a love interest. I liked the twist that the female lead *thought* he was royalty, but he wasn't. The childish Lord Braxten was a fun character, and the hotel setting was lovely. This will be upper mid-tier of Hallmark's Countdown to Christmas for me this year.

DECEMBER 14
41. OY TO THE WORLD (2025) [Hallmark] ★★★✰✰ (3.5 stars) - I liked this one a lot. I appreciate the Jewish-Episcopalian shared church and community messaging. The lead couple were fun and had good chemistry. The last song was good. I’d watch this again.
42. A RODEO CHRISTMAS (2025) [Lifetime] ★★✰✰✰ (2.5 stars) - This is my first Lifetime Christmas movie this year. It's definitely a little steamier than the Hallmark brand. And Corey Sevier looks great in this. It's not a very sophisticated story and the production values are slim. But I enjoyed the romance.

DECEMBER 15
43. FINDING MR CHRISTMAS (2025) [Hallmark] ★★★✰✰ - Finale. I wasn't thrilled with who won, but Rustin had been getting a little too cocky. It's fine!
44. MEET ME IN ST LOUIS (1944) [streaming] ★★★★✰ - My first time seeing this. A beautiful production.

DECEMBER 16
45. CHRISTMAS IN BIG SKY COUNTRY (2025) [Lifetime] ★★✰✰✰ - This one didn't quite land with me. The male lead felt a bit smarmy. The drama with the oil rig was at least different, but not very Christmasy. But this is generally the time of year when I start getting a bit fried on so many holiday movies.

DECEMBER 19
46. THANK GOD: CHRISTMAS AT KELLER RANCH (2025) [Lifetime] ★★✰✰✰ - This just didn't really land with me. The lead guy was too obnoxious.

DECEMBER 20
47. FRED CLAUS (2007) [streaming] ★★★★✰ - Paul Giamatti is so good in this. I loved him as Santa. Santa's village, workshop, and elves are really well done. Vince Vaughn as Fred Claus is a jerk for most of the movie, but somehow the rivalry between the brothers felt authentic. And the last twenty minutes is gold.

DECEMBER 21
48. A MAKE OR BREAK HOLIDAY (2025) [Hallmark] ★★★✰✰ - I like this one quite a bit. Good chemistry between the leads.
49. THE CHRISTMAS BABY (2025) [Hallmark] ★★★✰✰ - Nice to see a Hallmark movies featuring a lesbian couple this year. Tear-jerker of a plot and good script.

DECEMBER 22
50. SANTA CLAUS: THE MOVIE (1985) [Hallmark] ★★★✰✰ - This was ok. I know I've seen it before, but I didn't remember a thing.
51. A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1977) [streaming] ★★✰✰✰ - An abbreviated version for British TV. Not my favorite.

DECEMBER 23
52. SNOW (2004) [Amazon] ★★★★✰ - I think I saw this before but I don't remember any of it. I really enjoyed it. A very young Ashley Williams was must less OTT than her current movies, and the plot was cute.

DECEMBER 24
53. SNOW 2 (2008) [Amazon] ★★★★✰ - Not quite as good as the first one, but darn close.

DECEMBER 25
54. JOURNEY TO BETHLEHEM (2023) [Amazon] ★★★★✰ - Rewatched with family.

DECEMBER 26
55. BECOMING SANTA (2015) [Amazon] ★★★✰ ✰ - Boo to Jack Frost.

DECEMBER 31
56. THE SWEETEST CHRISTMAS (2017) [Amazon] ★★✰✰ ✰ - This script was awful.
