| For me it was Die Hard 1 & 2 for many years, gets the Christmas mood going. Do you have anime you re-watch on Christmas as a tradition of sorts? Not every year necessarily, but still a lot. Or not anime, I'm just wondering what traditions people have, if any. I'm thinking of mixing it up this year, watching an anime, something with the Chrismas vibe. Question on the side: would you add anything to this "Christmas" tag on my PTW list? I've made it based on several recommendations that I could dig up on this forum. |
 |
| Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) |
| It's always been "It's a Wonderful Life", the best Christmas movie. |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |
| Just Toradora like everyone else.. |
| If we are talking about anime then Haibane Renmei. I think that series is best to rewatch between Christmas and New Year one or two episodes a day. Once I watched Texhnolyze around Christmas. I wouldn't say that anime was perfect for the mood. |

| Die hard is the only correct answer. |
This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement. |
| No MAL entry for Christmas watching Traditionally as of the last 3 years Family Guy first Christmas episode (Lois losing it) and the Brian+Stewie heading to the North pole (2-parter) listen to Starcraft 12 days of Christmas music Not annually, but certain years: Futurama Robot Santa (one of the episodes) If I was by myself in watching, I'd also would have watched South Park Critter Christmas more |
 |
| Maybe gonna rewatch Tiger & Bunny but who knows. Since it does have a Christmas episode which gets dark in the span of 10 minutes |
| Go check out my latest review: https://myanimelist.net/profile/YeeYeeAss/reviews |
| I've watched Tokyo Godfathers for years with friends and family, they finally dubbed it so it's more accessible too and the dub is pretty good. I can't really think of much worth going out of your way for, a lot of shows do a Christmas themed episode but not many really stand out beyond the common Toradora answer. |
| i have no such show or movie. i watch whatever i was watching earlier. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| The classic Tokyo Godfathers and Home Alone always every year |
| For movies it be... A Christmas Story DIE HARD Ernest Saves Christmas and as of late "FATMAN" and as of this year "Violent Night" as for Anime??? I don't recall there being a Xmas themed anime, but I do tend to watch the original MEGAZONE 23 {Part One} around this time of year for some odd reason. Not every year but here or there. |
| I don't watch any special shows just because it's Christmas.. I carry on with my routine and continue to watch whatever series I'm watching.. |
 |
This is the one and only correct answer. |
 |
| Clannad seems like the most obvious answer but since it's so special to me I don't want to ruin it by watching it over and over again. It's also pretty long with 48 episodes not to mention the fact that normies aren't really able to enjoy it so it's not something I can share with my family. |
 |
| Anything wholesome, like: Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka??: Dear My Sister Kiniro Mosaic: Thank You!! Non Non Biyori Movie: Vacation Yuru Camp△ Movie |
 |
| It can be many things but usually Toradora or at least episode 19 The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya 5 Centimeters per Second Lord of the Rings can also be good for a Christmas re-watch |
| I used to watch Home Alone every year but I don't really watch Christmas movies or shows. Even anime doesn't really have any Christmas type of anime only focused on Christmas for all the episodes of any which comes to mind. It's usually just one episode of the characters spending Christmas together. So I guess you can probably find a Christmas compilation video of this on YouTube I'd imagine? |
| I watched Tokyo Godfathers last xmas and it was such a good seasonal film, heart warming and funny as hell. Looked great too. Then you've got the Toradora xmas eve episode, i believe r/anime usually does a Toradora rewatch every year so that the xmas eve episode falls on xmas eve, I did it one year and was pretty fun. Uzaki S2 is doing the same thing with an xmas eve episode releasing on xmas day, can't wait. Outside of anime I like Disney films at xmas such as Aladdin (animated one with Robin Williams) and Harry Potter at this time of year. There's also a hilarious Gintama xmas episode (ep 200 or 201 iirc) which might be my favourite Gintama episode, or at least the one that made me laugh the most. Santa gets drunk so Gintoki & co take over his job, but they also get drunk and Kagura gets a stinky present, lol. Watch it drunk. |

| I haven't really established a Christmas anime tradition. I guess I'll just watch Tokyo Godfathers and The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya again. I do have a New Year's tradition established though and that's to watch The End of Evangelion. I'm thinking of timing it this year so that either For non-anime, Elf is my favourite Christmas movie (I always watch that around Christmas). Or Eyes Wide Shut if you count that as a Christmas movie. |
 |
DIE HARD and HOME ALONE are surely two of the most evergreen of all the X-Mas movies and specials i had to grow up around... |
 |
| Thread moved from the Anime discussion board. |
| No movies but there are some Christmas episodes of anime I will watch; there's a pretty good Christmas episode of Super Sonico.. I think the 2nd episode of GITS ARISE takes place during Christmas, at the end Borma bakes a turkey! (Saito is asleep under the table!) Not directly a Christmas episode but the 1st part of Jupiter Jazz in Cowboy Bebop takes place on frozen Calisto where it's snowing; and seeing everyone in winter coats and the fireplace scene at Grin's place definitely have a cozy winter vibe so I love watching that one. 15th episode of Mushi-Shi "Pretense of Spring" is another really good winter episode that I've watched a lot... |
| The first two Home Alone movies have been etched in my skull since I was a kid to define movies set around Christmas. |
| I just binge watch horror movies during Christmas holidays. Last year I re-watched The hills have eyes remakes. Year before that I watched The rape of the vampire and Zirneklis. Krampus is my classic Christmas movie, so if I have nothing else I watch it. |
 |
| elf, its a wonderful life, klaus and home alone 2 |
| Anastasia Hook Edward Scissorhands How The Grinch Stole Christmas The Family Man Anything Muppets Comedies like Go, Elf, Fred Claus, Bad Santa Christmas-themed horror flicks (Krampus, Silent Night) and lighter stuff like Goosebumps and Gremlins Any series' related episodes (The OC, Ally McBeal, Futurama, Simpsons) and Strange Days for new year's eve. |
