It was fun to brainstorm some of these up and here's what I can add.

Gremlins, Eyes Wide Shut, Ghostbusters II, & The Ref.

Home Alone: It's set at Christmas but I'm not positive that it falls into the same category as Scrooged, Christmas Vacation, etc.

Rocky IV: Rocky fights Drago in Moscow on Christmas.

King Kong (recent remake): I *believe* the events in New York are set during Christmas. At the very least, it's winter because I remember Kong crashing into a snow drift while playing on the ice (wow, that sounds completely insane).

If I think of any more, I'll post them

It doesn't fall under the same category as the rest listed, but it has become a tradition in my home to watch the first 2 home alone movies during christmas.

The fact that someone even thought of that makes me laugh... but the fact that I know you're right makes me sad.

One of the fight sequences in Billy Jack was obvioulsy filmed during Christmas time because you can see the X-mas decorations in the background.

Silent Night, Deadly Night anyone (unless a guy in Santa drag yelling "naughy" while plunging an axe into someones groin gets you in the x-mas spirit).
