Late to the party, but Klaus is ranked too low. It should definitely be A, if not S. Humor, heart, a well-crafted redemption plot, strong friendship, sweet romance -- this movie has it all. (Plus -- and I admit this is a Me Thing -- I have a huge weakness for Christmas movies that don't have contemporary settings. There aren't many of them, except for this film and most of the various adaptations of A Christmas Carol.) 10:10 -- yeah, I don't get why this line was included in Arthur Christmas. It serves no purpose to the plot; its only effect is to make me loathe GrandSanta. That being said, I do like this film quite a bit, but why is it ranked above Klaus? I have to disagree on Christmas Vacation, even though I know it's a popular movie. I understand your reasoning for putting it in S tier; this is your list, after all. But in terms of my own taste in Christmas movies, it just doesn't have enough heart to suit me. I need some smart, thoughtful sentiment in my Christmas movies, which is why my own S tier is comprised of three films that aren't in your ranking (1947's Miracle on 34th Street, 1984's A Christmas Carol, and It's a Wonderful Life). The edgier, more "wised-up" stuff just isn't for me. Plus, I'm a cat person. This is the Generation X in me coming out, I know, but for me, Boris Karloff is the Grinch (though since you're ranking feature-length films, the 1966 animated special wouldn't be ranked here). While I may disagree with your rankings near the top (except I agree about Spirited being underrated), this was an enjoyable video. Regarding Apple TV Plus, a couple of things you should be sure to watch on the channel: Cartoon Saloon's gorgeous animated film "Wolfwalkers" and the pro-shot of the underrated Broadway musical "Come From Away." Those two alone are worth the price of a subscription.
Missed a few? Christmas Chronicles. A Christmas Carol. Deck the Halls. Love Actually. It’s a Wonderful life. A boy called Christmas Miracle on 34th Street
Christmas with the Kranks has such a bizarre 3rd act and is so bad.... it's actively good. But I'm with you I HAVE to watch it every year. I also LOOOVE spirited. However, I grew up on Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas and I think you did that film dirty.
I disagree with about half of this list. To not include any of the Dickens Christmas Carols or Its AWonderful Life is criminal. And to put Diehard, Home Alone and Elf so high is ridiculous. You really could've put more movies like The Nightmare Before Christmas and Miracle on 34th St also.
No Muppets Christmas Carol?
No Christmas Carol 1984?
No Its A Wonderful Life?
I’m not saying you’re wrong, I’m just saying that it’s diabolical to put Elf above the Polar Express
For real tho
nah man i LOVE elf but the polar express freaks me tf out

Christmas Chronicles.
A Christmas Carol.
Deck the Halls.
Love Actually.
It’s a Wonderful life.
A boy called Christmas
Miracle on 34th Street
Thank you for this. Informative.
Yeah, it would have been fun to see him Shadow-Realm the repulsive Deck the Halls.
How the hell did you put the illumination grinch in B, it does not hold a candle to any of the other b tier films
KLAUS SHOULD BE S-TIER
The personal tier of movies you watch the week of Christmas vs. early December is v relatable

Christmas vacation not being on here is criminal
*SPOILER ALRT* Christmas Vacation is the first S tier movie
Gremlins not even being on the list, and Grinch (2018) being anywhere but the shadow realm is criminal

It's a Wonderful Life trumps S tier
Right off the bat your criteria is a bit off to me
Talked about how you enjoyed a movie, but puts it in D Tier.🤷♂️
You are evil for putting the polar express in B tier
I did it for you ❤️
This is one of the worst tier lists I’ve ever seen lmao
