Christmas Movie Poll
Added 2022-12-02 18:56:26 +0000 UTCHey guys, hold onto your butts, its Christmas movie time! I'm sorry this is a bit late, it was A WEEK! I know I say that a lot of weeks, but my youngest had croup and RSV and I was hosting my book club and running around flocking trees and such, you know important things ;)
OMG I AM IN FULL CHRISTMAS SPIRIT though! I watched some v. bad Hallmark movies and loved every second, I have been baking gingersnaps and I am SO so excited to get into these movies on the poll. I want to watch them all, I just might.
Remember last year's Christmas poll? I watched The Muppets (loved it, watching with the kiddos this week), and Scrooged which was fun, and then of course It's a Wonderful Life, which changed my life!
Remember these are some big ones I have seen already: A Christmas Story, Elf, Love Actually, The Family Stone, About a Boy, Home Alone.
I am already planning on watching the OG Miracle on 34th Street and Die Hard 2 as well :)
Ok go Vote and Be Merry!
**The poll will end Sunday at midnight and you can pick more than one on this one!

2022-12-08 19:38:22 +0000 UTCThose are more Easter appropriate than Christmas, but that's just my opinion.
BRT
2022-12-08 10:11:36 +0000 UTCIt's a matter of subjective opinion, so not worth dying or even arguing about.
BRT
2022-12-08 10:09:57 +0000 UTCso BAD SANTA didn't make the cut?
just me
2022-12-07 20:19:02 +0000 UTCI love Trading Places, probably seen it over 20 times. I wouldn't consider it a Christmas movie though. I don't think the studios did either since it was released during the summertime
Shawn Kildal
2022-12-06 09:44:31 +0000 UTCHey Carly! If you're a Kate Winslet fan see if you can get Sense and Sensibility on the docket sometime. It was done right before she did Titanic. If you liked Pride and Prejudice, you would love this. Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman also star in it.
Shawn Kildal
2022-12-06 09:40:43 +0000 UTCCassie and Carly both agreed that the first Die Hard wasn't a Christmas movie since it didn't have the spirit of Christmas in it.
Shawn Kildal
2022-12-06 09:33:20 +0000 UTCThe way I understand it, Cassie has seen Christmas Vacation but not in the way that she sits down uninterrupted and watches every second of it. I suspect a lot of it would be unfamiliar to her. I hope she gets to give it the Popcorn in Bed treatment.
Shawn Kildal
2022-12-06 09:31:57 +0000 UTCIs it bad that I’ve never seen the Holiday?
James1035
2022-12-05 22:57:42 +0000 UTCYes to this
Larry Darrell
2022-12-05 22:48:31 +0000 UTCIf your going to watch Trading Places, you really need to also watch Eddie Murphy's other big hit from the early 80's "Coming to America" . They go together somehow. Trading places, not really a Christmas movie, although set around Christmas.
Francis Chery
2022-12-05 22:40:37 +0000 UTCOoh, yes, The Holiday would be near the top of my list for a Rewatch Reaction - there are so many movie references to movies that have been reacted to on the channel in it.
Planner
2022-12-05 22:29:57 +0000 UTCMy idea, long ago, was for another live watch-along, but for something you're both seen before, so we can all chat during the movie.
Jon Johns
2022-12-05 21:03:39 +0000 UTCHey Carly. Welcome to Patreon. Its nice to have you around.
James1035
2022-12-05 21:00:05 +0000 UTCOn one condition, Carly. One of you is Team Jude Law and the other HAS to be Team Jack Black. No switches. One of you has to swoon over Jack Black. Maybe another round of rock, scissors, paper to decide? :)
Dave
2022-12-05 20:57:11 +0000 UTCJust saw remembered the night for the first time and it was fantastic and we’re no angels is my sisters favorite and it happened on 5th ave is my moms with the others well loved. Those are Christmas classics not elf
Ben92
2022-12-05 20:53:15 +0000 UTCIf you are saying you both would be sitting there saying the key lines right before the actors said them, yeah, I would like to see that! 🤣🤣
Mike LL
2022-12-05 20:17:37 +0000 UTCEven though we've both seen it 10 times... can we just watch The Holliday... It has to be the best Christmas movie out there :)
Carly Popcorn
2022-12-05 17:59:56 +0000 UTCWhite Christmas is truly THE ultimate Christmas movie IMO - and you would adore it
Hannah Mather
2022-12-05 15:22:47 +0000 UTCYou should check out Feast of the Seven Fishes. A wonderful, recent holiday film... https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7846056/
Delford Chaffin
2022-12-05 15:08:53 +0000 UTCI'd like to offer an alternative poll... a list of literal Christmas movies to watch: "The Robe" "Demetrius and the Gladiators" (sequel to the above) "Quo Vadis" "Barabbas" And I think you've seen "Ben Hur" (with Charlton Heston) And I'd like to add, "The Agony and the Ecstasy". Not exactly a Christmas movie, but the one that cemented my faith as a Christian, because of one line of dialogue.
Jim Williams
2022-12-05 11:46:14 +0000 UTCShe has seen that one before she started her channel
Sean Stuart
2022-12-05 07:25:17 +0000 UTCAlso, wanna suggest a film for if there’s another Christmas poll this year. Bad Santa… I wouldn’t have suggested this a year ago, but Cassie’s come a long way. I think she’d appreciate it… And it’s funny as hell.
Jeff Milcheck
2022-12-05 02:20:13 +0000 UTCI like that term! And while I don’t really see Trading Places as a Christmas movie either, I can see the argument for that one. Granted, I haven’t seen it in many many years, but I recall a lot more of a Christmas vibe as opposed to Die Hard… Hell, Dan Aykroyd was dressed up as Santa for a portion of the film! That’s pretty Christmasy.
Jeff Milcheck
2022-12-05 02:16:36 +0000 UTCChristmas adjacent is the term I like for these kind of movies.
Richard Maurer
2022-12-05 01:30:26 +0000 UTCFor me, Bad Santa is the funniest movie ever. Would love to see Cassie squirm her way through it.
Al Swearengen
2022-12-05 01:05:45 +0000 UTCHate to bring up this old debate, but I’ll die on the hill saying Die Hard is not a Christmas Movie.
Jeff Milcheck
2022-12-04 23:02:17 +0000 UTCYeah, that was a big mistake. Should have at least watched Dawn of the Dead first, preferably the Romero one.
Richard Maurer

Special Agent Sunshine
2022-12-04 20:24:36 +0000 UTCTrading Places is one of the all-time greatest comedies for sure. However, I personally prefer not to watch Action films or Rated "R" comedies during Christmas time, even if they are set during Christmas. After New Years, in January when you are still in the Christmas Spirit, but your resolve to not blow anything up or shout profanity has weakened, is the perfect time for such films. That's just me. The older I get, the more conservative I get. Christmas Vacation (1989) and Trapped in Paradise (1994) are some hilarious Christmas comedies. The Man Who Came to Dinner (1942) is also a very funny Christmas classic. It's unclear if she has seen Christmas Vacation or not. Even if there is a shred of doubt that Cassie has or hasn't seen it all the way through, then I'd say it is worth watching again just to make sure. Almost every line in that movie is quotable. Same could be said for Home Alone 2. "Get down on your knees and tell me you love me" Taking a couple lines from The Muppet Christmas Carol, "It is the season of the Heart" and "It's true where ever you find love, it feels like Christmas." Romances do certainly fit well with Christmas. The Hallmark Channel figured that out. Some favorite Romances and films with Heart for Christmas time, not on the poll, are Bachelor Mother (1939), Remember the Night (1940), Meet John Doe (1941), The Bishop's Wife (1947), It Happened on Fifth Avenue (1947), Holiday Affair (1949) and We're No Angels (1955). So remember, "It's the Summer of the Soul in December" and "It's all the ways that we show Love, that feel like Christmas." ------------ Paul Williams (Little Enos).

2022-12-04 20:04:54 +0000 UTCThank you Richard! Mild as well as mildly infuriating and/or baffling. Shaun of the Dead being her first zombie movie? 🤦

Happy Hanukkah
2022-12-04 13:18:27 +0000 UTCIt happens that just a few days ago I watched Bad Santa for the first time. I decided if I’m ever going to criticize a movie in a poll it’s going to be this one for Christmas. But seeing how well it was doing I thought who am I to fight democracy. Roger Ebert liked this movie but he adds: "There are certain unwritten parameters governing mainstream American movies, and Bad Santa violates all of them."
Dennis Shogren
2022-12-04 11:47:46 +0000 UTCI would just like to wish everyone a "Merry New Year!!!" ;)
Dave Hill
2022-12-04 08:32:41 +0000 UTCTo be fair, horror fans had to settle for some pretty mild content. So having to watch movies that are Christmas adjacent, maybe now you know how we felt.
Richard Maurer
2022-12-04 06:42:26 +0000 UTCDitto!!
The Bookish Hedgehog (Zathras)
2022-12-04 04:06:23 +0000 UTCIf you like heartwarming, cute holiday rom-coms, Last Christmas is good, especially if you're a fan of George Michael songs. ;)
Kelly Marie
2022-12-03 22:25:56 +0000 UTCDid you like it? I just saw it and was really disappointed in it. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I expected better from two A-list actors, I mean, some parts were decent, mainly the middle, but the beginning and end were not good. If it wasn't a musical and a 90-min comedy with a clever, funny script, it could've been much better.
Kelly Marie
2022-12-03 22:21:31 +0000 UTCEddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd together, there are going to be some really funny moments. Every time I buy frozen concentrated orange juice I think of this movie.
Richard Bourne
2022-12-03 19:40:12 +0000 UTCAmongst the choices, it’s got to be “Trading Places.” I love that it’s referred to in a scene in “Coming To America.”
Jason Mackey
2022-12-03 19:32:48 +0000 UTCAbsolutely agree, but it is funny.
Terry Wood
2022-12-03 18:45:01 +0000 UTCDoing a comparison/contrast of Holiday Inn and White Christmas would be fun. Holiday Inn is the superior film, but White Christmas is quite fun, too. Hopefully, the ones you don’t watch this year, you can pick up in future years.
Terry Wood
2022-12-03 18:43:45 +0000 UTCI recommend that Cassie and Carly (and the whole family really) watch at some point (not for the channel, but for the pleasure of it) "She Loves Me," the Bock & Harnick musical adaptation of "Parfumerie," the play which "The Shop Around the Corner" is based on. While there is no film of the original Tony-winning production, there is film of the 2016 Tony-winning Broadway revival. Available from BroadwayHD through Amazon Prime, it stars Laura Benanti, Zachary Levi (bet you didn't know he can sing), and Jane Krakowski. It is an excellent production of a thoroughly delightful musical.
Elliot Nesterman
2022-12-03 17:37:43 +0000 UTCI’ll have to watch it!!
Krusty “Topher”
2022-12-03 17:16:52 +0000 UTCHehe Mikethemotormouth. I think you never saw Show me love on FshareTV. Because that's some kind of rom-com that I think you will like 😉😁🤣
Björn Karlsson
2022-12-03 16:27:54 +0000 UTC"Hey guys, hold onto your butts" - Cassie, whata potty mouth you're becoming!
Richard Maurer
2022-12-03 13:35:41 +0000 UTC@mikethemotormouth - There are three musicals I like, Rocky Horror, Wizard of Oz, and the musical episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That's three more than the number of Rom-Coms I like.
Richard Maurer
2022-12-03 13:31:00 +0000 UTCCassie Would LOVE that movie! In fact it should be a double feature with The Exorcist, another movie Cassie's sure to love.
Richard Maurer
2022-12-03 13:21:59 +0000 UTCIf Maverick can win Best Western, Trading Places can win best Christmas movie. I don't make the rules.
nick bell
2022-12-03 12:14:54 +0000 UTCI am sad that The Ref has like no chance to win this. It's so underappreciated!

David Collins
2022-12-03 07:16:28 +0000 UTCI'd say one slightly more so than the other
mikethemotormouth
2022-12-03 06:33:58 +0000 UTCPreach it, Mike!! Hear, Hear!!
Larry Darrell
2022-12-03 06:33:31 +0000 UTCTrashy?? Corny maybe. Some people like corny. Some people are looking for corny in their lives.
Larry Darrell
2022-12-03 06:28:45 +0000 UTCConsider watching "The Bishop's Wife". It's a Christmas film that is not only funny but has romance. It stars Cary Grant, David Niven and Loretta Young. It's a great movie!!
Matthew Linson
2022-12-03 06:25:25 +0000 UTCKeeping with the way most people think on here, Better Off Dead (1985) and Grumpy Old Men (1993) are also Christmas movies.
Larry Darrell
2022-12-03 06:24:12 +0000 UTCThe Brick scene is one of the funniest of any movie.
Larry Darrell
2022-12-03 06:03:58 +0000 UTCThese are all very good choices; it would be tough for me to decide. I'm surprised "Reindeer Games" isn't on the list. I will probably vote for "The Family Man" as it is most like one of the most beloved Christmas movies of the past. Don Cheadle is great in it. I doubt anybody else will vote for it, but even if it doesn't win... you should watch it. Everyone needs a glimpse.
Jim Williams
2022-12-03 05:51:31 +0000 UTCMy all time favorite is the Muppets Family Christmas, where Jim Henson shows up at the end. It's been my favorite since I was a kid
Glen Childs
2022-12-03 05:49:38 +0000 UTCLike Die Hard, Trading Places is full of Christmas messaging.
Jim Williams
2022-12-03 05:46:15 +0000 UTCTrading Places is not a Christmas movie as much as it is a movie that takes places during Christmas.
Richard Bourne
2022-12-03 03:59:50 +0000 UTCJust remember. It's not really Christmas until Hans Gruber falls off of Nakatomi Plaza!
Alan Kobb
2022-12-03 03:57:26 +0000 UTCWe watched almost a whole month of horror movies, or horror comedies in October. In December, what is so wrong about watching more than ONE or TWO movies that are, you know, actually about Christmas???
Mike LL
2022-12-03 03:46:23 +0000 UTCOK Shirley Temple (Shirely Temple Black a US Embassador) fair enough, she was bigger than Natalie Wood, good point.
Richard Bourne
2022-12-03 03:43:46 +0000 UTCAll i can say is that Trading Places is one of the BEST comedies that happens during the Christmas season.
Daniel Roberts
2022-12-03 03:39:46 +0000 UTCIf she watches Shop Around the Corner, which is great, I would love her to follow up with You've Got Mail.
Kristin D
2022-12-03 03:33:32 +0000 UTC@AC5555 couldn't agree more, not everything is for everyone @Richard Maurer I can't speak ill of musicals. Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music were a sizeable part of my childhood, same for Rocky Horror and West Side Story being a part of my adolescence
mikethemotormouth
2022-12-03 03:27:29 +0000 UTC"Natalie Wood who was the original child actor in Hollywood" What about Shirley Temple?
Mike Lemon
2022-12-03 03:25:07 +0000 UTCI suggested it, but even if it made the list, there isn't a chance in the world it would have won. Plus, I doubt Cassie would like it. That said, it is nice to see someone else that has heard of it.
Mike Lemon
2022-12-03 03:18:48 +0000 UTCWe don't know what the month's schedule is, it may already be on there somewhere.
Mike Lemon
2022-12-03 03:14:14 +0000 UTCLol dammit Richard you're not even kind of wrong 😂

2022-12-03 03:02:58 +0000 UTCKrampus is more of a Christmas movie TP, LW, and Diehard. Prove me wrong!
Richard Maurer
2022-12-03 03:00:46 +0000 UTCTo each is own I guess. Some of us love those.
AC5555
2022-12-03 02:58:25 +0000 UTCRom-Coms are even worse than musicals. And less realistic too.
Richard Maurer
2022-12-03 02:57:28 +0000 UTCAll Marvel, All the Time? That's a great idea! And much more profitable than classics could ever be.
Richard Maurer
2022-12-03 02:54:54 +0000 UTCOne of my favorite werewolf movies! Wait, you were talking about the movie, right? If not, please disregard.
Richard Maurer
2022-12-03 02:49:37 +0000 UTCLethal Weapon is definitely NOT a Christmas movie. Don't even think about arguing with me!
Richard Maurer
2022-12-03 02:46:28 +0000 UTCThey actually did make them. Released to coincide with the release of the movie.
Richard Maurer
2022-12-03 02:43:35 +0000 UTCIf Trading Places wins, and you select Coming to America from the trivia nights winners choices, please watch Trading Places first, as there’s a great moment in Coming to America that you won’t understand unless you’d already seen Trading Places.
Cole Jennett
2022-12-03 02:12:57 +0000 UTCMe neither but she was perfect for that role. My favorite was Luke Wilson's character. It was such a great family and warm story.
Raj Hudek
2022-12-03 02:07:14 +0000 UTCHas Cassie seen Christmas Vacation? It's just not Christmas without the Griswolds. :)
Dan Waller
2022-12-03 02:00:25 +0000 UTCLove as a concept? Certainly not Syrupy sweet romance as entertainment? 🤢 I think Better Off Dead(1985) and Grumpy Old Men(1993) may be the only rom-coms I actually like. Then again, I can't say that I've seen many. Just my two cents
mikethemotormouth
2022-12-03 01:47:25 +0000 UTCYes I grew up watching these old one's so they are what I think about this time of the year
Hankster
2022-12-03 01:45:02 +0000 UTCSuch a solid cast. Edmund Gwenn won an Oscor for this protrail of Kris Kringle as best supporting actor! Maureen O'Hara, who was a huge star back then as Dorris, and then Natalie Wood who was the original child actor in Hollywood... wow. Every attempt to duplicate or update this fell short. A big part of this movie was a mother/daughter relationship which changed.
Richard Bourne
2022-12-03 01:44:25 +0000 UTC100% agree! So good! My absolute fave Holiday movie. We usually watch it every year when decorating my parents place!
Orcagirl78
2022-12-03 01:32:24 +0000 UTCYes! I just watched that recently for the first time a little while ago. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it ( not a big SJP fan).
Orcagirl78
2022-12-03 01:31:08 +0000 UTCYes, the original 1947 one is so much better than the 1994 version. I have both, but Santa in the 1947 one is just magical! You really believe him!!
Orcagirl78
2022-12-03 01:28:55 +0000 UTCOne of my faves! Apparently there is a version without that number. And Bing Crosby singing "White Christmas" for the first time is worth watching the movie for!
Orcagirl78
2022-12-03 01:26:09 +0000 UTCHoliday Inn (aside from one questionable musical number) is one of my fave Christmas movies. White Christmas is good, too! The Ref is hilarious 😂
Orcagirl78
2022-12-03 01:22:29 +0000 UTCI remember seeing The Ref, Pulp Fiction and Clerks when they all came out when I was 14, and for the next year, every other word out of my mouth was a swear word.
XanderWhat
2022-12-03 00:25:40 +0000 UTCThe Ref! If probably won't win but damn I like Denis Leary!
Jacob Colson
2022-12-03 00:25:17 +0000 UTCThen "A Charlie Brown Christmas" should be on this poll, because at least that one talks about the TRUE meaning of Christmas!

2022-12-02 23:15:58 +0000 UTCTHE REF all the way. One of the best written black comedies of all time. I still say you should add KISS KISS, BANG BANG to this list...or maybe have it in your back pocket if you have time to watch another movie.

Raj Hudek
2022-12-02 22:52:26 +0000 UTCI agree about the colorized version of It's a Wonderful Life. I think that it works because unlike other colorized movies, it was done in the late 2000s. So they used computers and software to match everything. It's really good and honestly I like watching the color version more. I know that sacrilege but I don't care. They did a really good job with it.
Caomhan84
2022-12-02 22:49:35 +0000 UTCShop Around the Corner for me! It's a rom-com with Jimmy Stewart, so I think Cassie (and Carly) would love it.

2022-12-02 22:46:50 +0000 UTCYou should watch the Ryan reynolds/will Ferrell movie that just came out on AppleTV. it’s called Spirited. It’s a “Christmas Carol” and “Scrooged” type movie. Fun Musical.

2022-12-02 22:38:02 +0000 UTCIt's good that there are a lot of " old people" here. Otherwise this channel would be yet another in the long line of "all Marvel, all the time". Aren't there enough reaction channels that do that? Cassie is at least very eclectic. And if it wasn't for us " old people" She would have never seen something like The Best Years of Our Lives....which she adored. And countless others.

2022-12-02 22:03:46 +0000 UTCI think she should still watch White Christmas, a definite all time great film, period.

Christopher Smith
2022-12-02 21:10:22 +0000 UTCAs long as Cassie is watching the original 1947 Miracle on 34th Street (hopefully with Carly), I am good. This was a really well done movie that doesn't over-do anything, it stays within the boundaries of reality but finds ways to surprise and accomplish seemingly impossible things in the spirit of Christmas. The real Macy's Department Store took a risk by signing on to movie, and I think it was paid off for them. The Macy's Thanksgiving Parade of course continues to this day and formally begins the Christmas season with Santa at the end of the Parade. The 1994 remake should have never been done IMHO. There were also two made for TV remakes, 1955 and 1973, both of which nobody remembers.

Richard Maurer
2022-12-02 20:52:28 +0000 UTCIt's as much a Christmas movie as Diehard..............hey, wait a minute........
Richard Maurer
2022-12-02 20:48:40 +0000 UTCOnly movies I've seen on here are Arnold's Jingle All the Way and Trading Places. Even Christmas in Connecticut and I'm from Connecticut lol
James1035
2022-12-02 20:46:38 +0000 UTCWell, the day Cassie puts a horror movie in a Christmas poll means she's been turned to the dark side......so we can only hope. :)
Richard Maurer
2022-12-02 20:46:02 +0000 UTCAlways thought Jingle all the Way gets a bad rap. It’s one I watch every year as it’s just a really fun and silly movie #putthecookiedown 😂. But it looks like Trading Places is going to take it which I’m more than ok with. As i always like seeing peoples reaction to 80s Eddie Murphy when they are use to the more modern kid friendly version.
Dean Holt
2022-12-02 20:36:41 +0000 UTCI wouldn't mind seeing The Hebrew Hammer on this poll 😁
Ronny Boss
2022-12-02 20:30:34 +0000 UTCI'm right always. Great Christmas movie. I watched White Christmas it was boring. It's not that great. I haven't watched again. Also, you never get Bing Crosby singing White Christmas except in Holiday Inn.
Joseph Rardin
2022-12-02 20:28:48 +0000 UTCDisappointed "Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever" isn't on the list, but maybe she's already seen it? (Filmed in British Columbia, btw)
Paul Stelter
2022-12-02 20:27:57 +0000 UTCIt takes place from Thanksgiving to New Year, and has Christmassy elements. It counts as a Christmas movie!
Wes Stewart
2022-12-02 20:27:45 +0000 UTCIt's possible she has seen it. I think it's just as likely she hasn't. And if she hasn't, her reaction to it could be a real treat
mikethemotormouth
2022-12-02 20:25:28 +0000 UTCTrading Places came out in June. Takes place during that time of year not a Christmas movie. You peoples are ruiners!

David Freese
2022-12-02 20:17:40 +0000 UTCAs much as I want Cassie to watch Trading Places, it is out of place here on this poll with other Christmas classics. The Shop Around the Corner has my vote and if there is a viewing for runner-up as well, my hope is that Shop gets it.
Dave
2022-12-02 20:17:20 +0000 UTCI loved The Family Man but that ending broke my heart... easy to know why.... So I pulled a Cassy/Carly and made up my own additional ending.
Andrew Rose
2022-12-02 20:17:06 +0000 UTCOf course, you can sync last year's reaction to Wonderful Life to a colorized version at any time, but I get that a re-watch of that movie would be very entertaining.

Viet Ta
2022-12-02 20:10:10 +0000 UTCYou are right. See my reply to a comment above about Trading Places. Want more traditional Christmas movies, there are only a few slots open before Christmas.
Mike LL
2022-12-02 20:06:52 +0000 UTCYou might be right any other time of the year, not in December.
Mike LL
2022-12-02 20:04:40 +0000 UTCIt is the movie that stands out in this poll, that's for sure. She is already watching a few "non-traditonal" Christmas movies, such as Die Hard 2 and, maybe, Lethal Weapon? I know it was mentioned. And she is watching a great Golden Era Christmas movie in Miracle 1947, so I have no complaints. But was hoping for a few more traditional Christmas movies, so with more Queen's Gambit, LoTR, RoboCop, and While You Were Sleeping, there are only so many more slots open. I don't want to fill the slot with Trading Places.
Mike LL
2022-12-02 20:03:01 +0000 UTCYour focus on that one scene is like focusing on the drunk Santa at the beginning of Miracle on 34th Street 😂
N M
2022-12-02 20:02:44 +0000 UTCYep...Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. Great movie. Won the Oscar for the song "White Christmas'.
Doug Cook
2022-12-02 19:59:44 +0000 UTCI went with the classics. White Christmas, Shop Around the Corner, and Christmas in Connecticut. I love old movies. I don't think I've ever sat down and watched all of Trading Places. I know my father nearly died laughing watching it though.
Jennifer Medicus
2022-12-02 19:58:55 +0000 UTCRespiratory syncytial virus I had two co-workers whose kids were in the ER and then hospitalized because of it. It's been going through the pediatric populations like wildfire and a lot of the kids' hospitals are overwhelmed. Glad it sounds like Cassie's children were okay.
Jennifer Medicus
2022-12-02 19:57:30 +0000 UTCI like Holiday Inn much more than White Christmas, but the blackface in the "Abraham" musical number will doubtlessly put off many viewers coming to it with modern eyes. I honestly feel that if it didn't have that portion, it would be better known than White Christmas by audiences today. On the whole, it is a lovely movie.
Caomhan84
2022-12-02 19:56:13 +0000 UTCI believe that is correct. I think the date 1966 on the poll is a typo
Mike LL
2022-12-02 19:54:20 +0000 UTCThe ending of the Family Man is one of the most memorable aspects of the film.
N M
2022-12-02 19:51:37 +0000 UTCHoliday Inn is less known but so good. Bing (White Christmas) is iconic.
Jerrod Acree
2022-12-02 19:48:05 +0000 UTCThe Ref is one of my family’s favorite. The depiction of the family was mine growing up. Lol
Jerrod Acree
2022-12-02 19:46:50 +0000 UTCTrading Places isn’t really a Christmas film. White Christmas is a classic! My son (8) loves it. I watch it every year.
Jerrod Acree
2022-12-02 19:46:21 +0000 UTCNo...I don't think Die Hard is a Christmas movie.

Krusty “Topher”
2022-12-02 19:45:26 +0000 UTCThere's one scene with Dan Akroyd dressed up as a drunk Santa...That hardly makes it a Christmas movie. I'm assuming that Cassie wants to get in the Christmas mood...Trading Places will not do that. Good grief.
Doug Cook
2022-12-02 19:45:01 +0000 UTCI think Home Alone: Lost in New York is such an iconic Christmas movie and on tv so much that most ppl have already seen it
N M
2022-12-02 19:42:58 +0000 UTCI was wondering about it being a Christmas movie, too.
Bryan Fritchie
2022-12-02 19:41:57 +0000 UTCThat movie is messed up.🤣
Mitchell
2022-12-02 19:39:30 +0000 UTCHi, I would normally share that thought. But I make an exception for 'Wonderful Life' colourised . It's jaw dropping. I don't know how they managed it.
Rich Campbell
2022-12-02 19:39:16 +0000 UTCTrading Places will win (and that's OK, because I have always liked that movie) but I'd be curious to see a reaction to "The Family Man". No spoilers, but when I first saw it I was terribly unhappy with the ending (I wanted it to end another way) - I wonder if anyone else felt that way about it.
Cliff Endicott
2022-12-02 19:39:08 +0000 UTCI agree wholeheartedly, and it’s for that reason that I’m not surprised at all that it’s nowhere close to winning this poll.
Kevin M. Pitts
2022-12-02 19:38:37 +0000 UTCI was going to ask the same thing! You beat me to it😄
Katie Jackson
2022-12-02 19:38:34 +0000 UTCBy the way, Shop Around the Corner is the movie You've Got Mail is based on. YGM is the remake. I'm guessing that would be a good one to add to your list Cassie.🙂
Mitchell
2022-12-02 19:38:31 +0000 UTCGot to ask what is RSV? Sounds like some sort of off road vehicle... Possibly with some sort of gun mounted on top.
James Moy
2022-12-02 19:36:20 +0000 UTCPlease please please! Jingle All The Way as a Duo Reaction. You both liked him as a hero in Terminator 2. I think you’ll like him when he’s NOT killing people in this one.
Joseph
2022-12-02 19:36:01 +0000 UTCNo 29th Street. Great Chrismas movie. Sad
nick bell
2022-12-02 19:35:12 +0000 UTCI voted for Shop Around the Corner and White Christmas. I love Trading Places, but it isn't a Christmas movie. But if it wins, you will love it anyway.
Kat Farlowe
2022-12-02 19:34:42 +0000 UTCI'd love a Baking with Cassie live episode where she's making ginger snaps.
PapaXan
2022-12-02 19:34:19 +0000 UTCIt is set over the holiday season. I bet you don't think die hard is a Christmas movie either! ;)
James Moy
2022-12-02 19:33:48 +0000 UTCNot to be a hater but some of those are not very good movies. I would especially stay away from The Ref. A very unpleasant experience. The Family Man is nothing special. As for Trading Places I've never thought of it as a Christmas movie but I suppose a case could be made for that. Regardless, it's a classic in any genre and must see. No surprise it has by far the most votes.
Mitchell

Krusty “Topher”
2022-12-02 19:30:16 +0000 UTCI agree. It is a wonderful film, remade many times. I think the latest was "You've Got Mail" with Hanks and Ryan. But the original is just the best! Gotta love Jimmy Stewart.
Kat Farlowe
2022-12-02 19:30:14 +0000 UTCI want to repeat what H.G. said, because he is so right!! "Another great Christmas movie that too few people have seen is Remember the Night, starring Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray. Directed by the undervalued Mitchell Leisen and written by the genius Preston Sturges, it's a film of incredible wit and heart and I wish it were more widely watched at this time of year." Yes!

Andrew Ramos
2022-12-02 19:28:30 +0000 UTC'Shop Around The Corner' for me. I'd also be up for a re-watch of 'It's a Wonderful Life' (perhaps the colourised version? Normally I'm a b&w purest, but 'Wonderful Life' in colour is stunning.) Merry Christmas everyone!

2022-12-02 19:18:36 +0000 UTCHere's a great Christmas movie that isnt well known. I highly recommend. ..'It Happened on 5th Avenue'. Made in 1947. Check it out. Why is Trading places on here as a Christmas movie? There's just one scene of Dan Akroyd dressed as a drunk Santa Claus...not exactly Christmasy
Doug Cook
2022-12-02 19:18:15 +0000 UTC@Jason Fulbright I don't know what I get in my stocking 🧦 every year so I don't know what would be a good replacement for coal. And Cassies bright sunny disposition last year was what made me join Patreon so I just telling the truth. 😂🤪🤪

TXW
2022-12-02 19:12:38 +0000 UTCThe Shop Around the Corner is your kind of movie all the way. A young James Stewart has never been better. Trading Places is an odd choice. Funny, but not a Christmas movie.
Robert Jewell

Terri Wyatt
2022-12-02 19:10:19 +0000 UTCFor full transparency, as much as I would like Trading Places to happen, and even suggested it myself for an unconventional/alternative Christmas movie poll, it is not a traditional Christmas movie. Just takes place during the holidays.
