Recommend a good Christmas movie which someone else may not have seen before?

I just heard of this yesterday and watched it today and cannot believe I have not seen it sooner:

One Magic Christmas (1985)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089731/

Never appeared on my radar before and I really liked it. Also helps that I think Mary Steenburgen is great.

The film is not a laugh a minute, tinsel covered jolly but a good story I thought as Christmas movies go.

Whilst not an unknown, i only watched It's a Wonderful Life for the first time last year and can see what all the fuss was about.

Likewise. Not sure why, but I had dismissed it then watched it and was like "Oh, this is one of the better Films full stop, not just Christmas films".

@dowie - Scrooged and Elf, the most watched Christmas films EVER do not count in this thread.

I love Olive, The Other Reindeer

Few seem to have heard of it/seen it. It's pretty short (45mins), but has a good voice cast and a good mix of kid/adult jokes.

You are right, never heard of it, looks great Christmas viewing

Thanks.
