Jingle Beans Poll

A friend of mine recommended all the Madea movies. I haven't done it yet, but it's definitely on my list!

ssb031

You should check out 'A Medea Christmas' i think you'd love it 😊 even if its not for the channel it's still a great, funny movie. Happy Holidays 🎅

Sandra Courville

Really?? It's SO good. Hilarious Dennis Leary comedy. I'm sad that it's not winning the poll so that more people can see it.

Cosmic Slice

It's such a good movie and I know Ashleigh would enjoy it.

Cosmic Slice

Same...definitely not the best movie on the poll.

Cosmic Slice

The family stone is one of my favorites at Christmas time. I hope she gets to watch it.

Alexis Callagan

I'll suggest "The Lion in Winter," from 1968. Christmas goes medieval.

Cindy Byrne

I have not even heard of 8 Bit Christmas. The others I know of and agree that are worth a viewing

Sarah L.

Dang nobody cares about 8 Bit Christmas lol. Also kinda wish I'll Be Home For Christmas and Mixed Nuts was on this list, those are a must for December as well

Carlos Sutton

The Christmas-themed movies I would be hoping for Ashleigh to watch are mostly much older and probably wouldn't ever get much traction even if they got into a poll. Besides Scrooge (1951), which remains the best version of A Christmas Carol ever filmed, I would love to see her react to screwballs and screwball-adjacent flicks such as "Remember the Night" (1940), "The Man Who Came to Dinner" (1942), "Christmas in Connecticut" (1945), and "It Happened on Fifth Avenue" (1947).

W. Randy Hoffman

The grinch is a must but I hope family stone comes back on another poll

Missy Schmader

I haven't seen it, but I just watched the trailer. I love Dennis Leary! Definitely on my list to watch!

ssb031

I'm just throwing this out there as an alternative, but what about Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas? It's Muppets and it's super cute!!! Ashleigh can watch it on Peacock, Tubi, Prime, Sling TV or Plex for FREE!!

ssb031

Same! I voted for that one too. But all of them are good picks (except for Krampus but I'm not a horror fan and Christmas movies turned into horror are really not my thing). Too bad we couldn't send her to theaters to watch Red One. It's pretty great!

ssb031

On this list its my favorite

King Nero

I voted with everybody on Grinch. I really think Ashleigh would like 8 bit Christmas and Family Stone alot too though. I like Christmasy movies at Christmas time

Mr Marvelous

The Ref is awesome

Sarah L.

Love the classic animated Grinch but I have no interest in the live action version

Sarah L.

Went with Grinch but The Ref is a fun, underrated comedy.

David Hunter

there are more of us than you think. I know its in 3rd now but maybe

Sarah L.

"You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch... You're a three-decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich With arsenic sauce!"

Josh Clark

Hmmm.. these are all too recent for me. I'm a classic Christmas guy. Alas.

Robert Reichle

this is hard. absolutely love The Grinch, Krampus, & The Family Stone so much... but The Grinch is just such an annual favorite of mine so i'm gonna go with it. watching it with Ashleigh will be such a special treat.

AnthoniusWillis

The Man Who Came to Dinner, A Muppet Family Christmas, Meet Me in St Louis, The Bishop’s Wife; just to name a few!

Meredith Shivers

It's an excellent, darkly hilarious Christmas movie. Don't want to say too much for fear of spoiling Ashleigh but check it out for sure

Charity Konusser (the chonus)

Oh man Ashleigh would love The Ref but I bet not enough people have seen it for it to win.

Charity Konusser (the chonus)

Knowing her she would end up with the killer snowman one.

James Moyner

Prancer, Scrooge (1970), The Small One (1978), Anna and the Apocalypse,

James Moyner

Krampus!!!!!

Norberto Aguiar

What version is 2005???? I hope that was just a typo and she meant 2000.

CinWin

For some reason I thought you'd already watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and now I'm wondering if I saw the future. I remember not being able to sync up properly for the watch along, but did I just dream that? Anyway, that's what I voted for, though there are some good ones in there.

Susan AKA Maisy13(YT) AKA Susan_is_still_in_progress (threads,IG)

Totally agree. No interest in seeing the live action Grinch. The cartoon is the classic.

Sarah L.

YES!!!

Echo Moon

I’m going to say The 2000 grinch was the best grinch movie but eight bit would be my pic

Leon

awwi love the family stone. sad its losing so badly.

Ashley Thomas

So true aha

RationallySassy

Been a Christmas favorite of mine since I was 16.

Brian Straight

The 2005 film is NOT the "classic". It was a big budget money grab! The classic is Chuck Jones' work of animated genius. The 2005 (2000) Grinch is fine.

Curtis Martin

We watch it every year.

Cass&Jason

Sounds like it's time for you to revisit. 😄

Lynette Cummins

Leon

I'm shocked anyone else remembers the Ref. I remember liking this film, but it's been a long time since I've seen it.

Scott Veatch

KRAMPUS KRAMPUS KRAMPUS!! This is the second poll she’s added it to this year so she obviously really wants to watch it!

EJN

Right!…it may be a typo though this is most likely the Jim Carrey one.

EJN

I guess we're running low on good Christmas movies. I can hardly think of one she hasn't seen yet.

Joe Blankenship

I think she should rewatch some of those movies she did when the channel first started. Like Back to the Future.

Joe Blankenship

Make sure you watch the right Jack Frost, if it wins. There are two very different movies with the same name.

Matt KC

The Grinch is from 2000...unless there is a 2005 version I didn't know about 😁

Guillermo Antonio Ricci Alvarez

Pass on all of these.

crazyivan

Thanks for the info.😀maybe I will check it out.

Veronica Pearson

Agreed - I say The Ref.

ShartheHeretic

It's horrible. I love the cartoon Grinch, and I usually live Jim Carrey - but that movie is awful.

ShartheHeretic

It's a hilarious not-sickly-sweet holiday movie starring Denis Leary.

ShartheHeretic

I mean Jim Carrey's Grinch is not my favorite at all, but it's not a POS movie, lol. It's a fun/chaotic one time watch type of film.

Bastion33

You should check it out. It's hilarious.

Lynette Cummins

Um, what is The Ref? I've never heard of that before. 🤔

Veronica Pearson

Re-watch Die Hard?

Brian's Dog

I was hoping to see the animated 2019 Christmas movie "Klaus" on here. It's a great, fairly new movie everyone should see.

Dawne ~ Island Green Strong

I second Anna and the Apocalypse!

JC

I vote for the Ref

Sarah L.

Agreed.💚

Lynette Cummins

Of the choices, I’m going with 8-Bit. And putting in another write-in vote for the British musical zombie Christmas movie called Anna and the Apocalypse.

Stewart Shutler

Okay people decide are we going with Ref or Krampus? We need to pick one side over the other to beat the pos Grinch. There is only one Grinch and it’s voiced by Boris Karloff from 1966.

James Moyner

"Jack Frost" is my choice.

Scott Margeson

Hmmm... I wonder what Ashleigh would think of the BBC adaption of Pratchett's Hogfather...

Marvin Just Marvin

Really!? Krampus!? 🤷‍♂️

Michael Parker

The Ref is a holiday staple in our house. We watch it every year. So underrated!

VanGinkel Author

If Krampus wins, please, please, PLEASE do it in night vision!

Brandon Royce

Please....The Ref! Not the Jim Carrey Grinch! Even if The Ref comes in second place, please give it a watch Ashleigh! Come on, Patrons! Vote for The Ref!

Jacob Colson

agreeeeed

JC

Does she mean the Jim Carrey grinch? I can't find a 2005 one

Brent giesbrecht

Ashleigh would LOVE The Family Stone (2005)! I hope she'll watch it even if it doesn't win! ♥

fire12wife

DITTO!!! ♥

fire12wife

Please, pick The Family Stone (2005)! It never gets the attention it deserves! Such an awesome movie! ♥

fire12wife

I LOVE The Family Stone (2005)! It's so d@#n funny!!! With a HUGE cast of beautiful A-Listers like this one, and a movie set in a picturesque, wintery, little town in CT! What more could you ask for???

fire12wife

Agreed!

Wendy Smith

The Ref is awesome!

Brandie Woodward

The Ref is Great!

Charlie Heist

I actually have a huge soft spot in my heart for Jack Frost (with Michael Keaton) I watched it all the time growing up on VHS. But that clearly isn’t the popular choice so I had to go with The Grinch

Jordan Wyant

Wow! I had no idea so many people love The Ref. I never hear it talked about besides here. I watch it every year and listen to the great soundtrack nonstop. Voting for either "The Ref" or The Family Stone to see Ash cry her face off!

Jassell B

'Just Friends' would be a good future Jingle Beans movie to put on a poll.

Garrie Morris

1000x better.

Grey Wears

Also credit to Rachel McAdams and her glasses in this film for being a major step in my gay awakening lol

JC

Common krampus. I'm rooting for you

Elisa H.

Yes. She is a gem. I hope it wins.

Lynette Cummins

Glynis Johns is absolutely priceless in this movie. So f'ing hilarious.

Cass&Jason

PLEASE WATCH THE FAMILY STONE. Your reaction would be so good and it’s such a good movie.

Darrick Turner

The Ref is hilarious! So much better than the live action Grinch

Cosmic Slice

How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Jim carrey) is from 2000. There is a newer animated "The Grinch" from 2018. I am assuming you meant the Jim Carrey version.

Adam Doyle

I'd recommend Rare Exports too

Rileymetal

Is The Family Stone a good movie? Probably not. I'll never not vote for it anyway, I love that very flawed movie lol

JC

Definitely The Ref. Denis Leary and Kevin Spacey are hilarious. Ashleigh will love it. 😂

Lynette Cummins

You guys are missing out. The Ref is one of the funniest Christmas movies ever.

Cass&Jason

'Cough' Violent Night 'cough'😁😁

Grumpy Santa

Krampus. Krampus Krampus KRAMPUS! (Did I give away that I really like that movie? 😂)

Junior

Gotta watch KRAMPUS!!! Then Trick R Treat for next Hallobeans!
