Great TV movie. It eventually became "The Waltons" TV show, but several of the cast are different, and the tone is much less sugary. A wonderful Christmas movie.

That may be true but Im talkin as of current. That movie is clockwork for christmas. Everyone loves it. Maybe it was a diamond in the rough but that diamond was found! Got Em!!

"It's a Wonderful Red Green Christmas"

Any Red Green fans on this site?

^^ So, we're at the point in the thread of basically restating everyone else's posts, then?

I'll do something new:
Not just the box art, but the complete movie of the underrated Carroll Ballard/Maurice Sendak "Nutcracker: the Motion Picture", which pretty much disappeared off the face of the earth after VHS, before resurfacing on Hulu/streaming.

(Yep, pure, creepy uncut Sendak...No group-therapy Spike Jonze huggies here.

)

I'd also include "Curse of the Cat People" as underrated holiday viewing (just because I can't hear "Il Est Ne', Le Divin Enfant" without picturing ghostly Simone Simon in her snow-cape), but...Hulu didn't have that one.

This movie was by far, one of the best Christmas movies ever. It is the most detailed, and the scene in the mall was classic.

I hope I can catch this on Lifetime soon. It will be as good as always.

Someone on the first page mentioned it, but I'd go with Jingle All The Way. I don't know if it's underrated, or just so bad that it's good, but I can watch it over and over.

I thought Fred Claus was pretty good. And I'm surprised nobody has said Friday After Next

YES Friday After Next is great!

Also, Santa's Slay.

I mean what other movie's back cover starts with:
"It turns out that Santa Claus (WWE Superstar Bill Goldberg) is not really the sweet old fellow that we all know and love. In fact, he's the devil"

I disagree. I think that's the exact category it belongs in.

Gotta throw this one out there too... people seem to forget it's kinda a Christmas movie...

Also.... Mickey's Christmas Carol... man, I LOVE that old animation. Was super hard to find on DVD a few years back.
