Im pretty sure The French Connection is set around Christmas as I remember Gene Hackman chasing the guy at the start with a santa suit on.

Batman Returns

There's another that I just recently watched and it's slipping my mind...

You just beat me to saying Batman Returns.

Also many of the Harry Potter movies have a scene around christmas time as well.

Jaws the Revenge

Would Bad Santa fall into this category? Not exactly a movie you'd sit down and watch with the fam.

Dutch is pretty good. Ed O'Neil and Christopher McDonald(aka Shooter McGavin

) could make any film watchable.

Love Actually.

It's an awesome movie, but it's set at Christmas {or around Christmas} but nobody really celebrates the actual day *IN* the movie itself.

Haha everytime I see Logan I always think of Luke Wilson when he says "Logan" at the end of Blue Streak when he figures out who Martin really is at the Mexico Borderline. Funny stuff! Got Em!!

Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe

The one scene with "Father Christmas", but not much else.

American freakin' Psycho!

When I made my initial post I couldn't remember it, but some reason I just pictured Reese Witherspoon annoyingly saying "Happy X-Mas" to everybody.
