The 65 Best Christmas Movies of All Time (Vanity Fair)

Each year, as the air turns cold and the music merry, comes the inevitable debate about the best Christmas movies to stream during the holidays. There are those who insist their yuletide entertainment be staunchly seasonal—think the candy-coated North Pole of The Santa Clause franchise or Will Ferrell's Buddy the Elf skipping through a department store. Others prefer films that take a more unconventional approach to the festivities, such as the action-packed Die Hard or erotically existential Eyes Wide Shut. Enter Vanity Fair's Christmas favorites, 65 offerings that span from certified classics of the 1940s to new holiday movies destined for a yearly rewatch—a little something for everyone under the tree.
