The Stingiest Man in Town is the only Rankin/Bass special on MAL, so I think it wins by default

@Guilmon1 But it seems so different from your average Gundam.

@Rally- it conveys some of the main themes of the franchise along with being a smaller scale showing of what is the tragedy of the UC timeline
Also it is kind of similar to 0079's episodes that focused on people outside of the main cast, especially civilians (some of the best in the show)

Shoujo Ramune and Boku no Pico are the best things for winter holidays. They engage you in looking forward to summer.

The whole «Vinland Saga» looks like a chaos of Christmas, though, doesn't it?

A bunch of drunken bearded Norse men brawling, carrying boats over their heads and running as fast as they can, and then sorry at the end.

I see Tokyo Godfathers and Toradora have been mentioned. r/anime used to do a yearly group watch arranged so that the xmas party ep (ep 21 or 24) lands on xmas eve. I did it as a first time watcher a few years back and it was fun.

Not sure whether it's your cup of tea, but last xmas season best film I saw was Journey Through Fairyland, it's a bit like Disney's Fantasia with a story about a boy who travels to a fairy land, all put to classical music.

Personally, I always rewatch some Slayers over xmas. Also pick up the hilarious Gintama xmas eps (one where a drunk Santa farts on Kagura, it's as dumb and stupid as it sounds).

dont listen to them. i was you 2 years ago and watched tokyo godfathers on xmas with my whole family. it ended up being the most boring piece of shit anime ever. trash story and just overall tremendously boring. we all ended up not enjoying it was such a waste of time. idk how that anime got its reputation as holiday movie when its so fucking boring

you want the real holiday anime watching list here you go, you can't go wrong with any of these:

clannad
golden time
honey and clover
kanon
nodame cantabile
how to raise a boring girlfriend
Just Because!
toradora
Oregairu
Haikyuu can be a fun watch too.

you can also add something like fruits basket, chihayafuru, anohana, k-on, teasing master takagi san, kono oto tomare, nisekoi can be really fun, sakurasou no pet na kanojo, say i love you. these are all relaxing, fun, wholesome, emotional animes with great story and characters. perfect to lay down and watch on tv during holidays. you'll have a blast.

and the greatest Attack on Titan. when i first watched it, it was december of 2021. never had so much fun. peak times.

I can't think of many anime specifically made for Christmas, but I think Kids on the Slope works well for that time of year.
"Molly Ringwald" out right now - check my Linktree!

I usually watch the movie Silence at Christmas, j.k. this level of trolling is too much even for my standards.
The fact is that the Japs have imported a holiday that has no roots for them so it has become highly commercial thing by chance in the collective imagination the Christmas symbol except Santa and the tree is the meal at McDonald with the partner rather than huge dinners and lunches at home with family, visits to churches, pray, lighting candles, nativity scenes, helping the homeless, visiting Christmas markets, going to the midnight mass, etc. it is a kind of valentine and in the same way it is treated in anime so it is practically impossible to dedicate an anime to all this but rather a pilot episode or a movie expecially in a romance one(https://myanimelist.net/anime/56538/Kimi_ni_Todoke_3rd_Season the second half of the season 3 is about the Christmas party). Yeah they are like cosplaying Santa that's it.
I consider Tokyo Godfathers the only real Japanese Christmas movie, communicates one of the most important messages of Christmas it far surpasses many western works.
But there are also some curious things like https://myanimelist.net/anime/15771/Saint%E2%98%86Oniisan_Movie
