The Grinch. All the way. Not the new one but the old Dr Seuss animated version - BEST THING EVER. I watch it every Christmas  And the Charlie Brown Christmas special, too. Classic.

I always watch this video of a local ballet school performing 'The Nutcracker'. They do such a great job. ^^

*moves post into the movies section*
It's a Wonderful Life is my all time favourite Christmas film. I'll usually watch it really close to Christmas once we've got the tree up so the whole room smells Christmassy. Mmm... such a good film and such an amazing ending.
I also like to watch Little Women every Christmas. I know it's not really a Christmas film but it starts at Christmas, and it's a good excuse  Me and my sister are also looking forward to watching Love Actually but we're really trying to wait till the start of December.
Oh and Die Hard  You need Die Hard on at Christmas time.

Ingmar Bergman's Fanny & Alexander - The whole first act is so wonderfully nostalgic and Christmassy!
Home Alone - It doesn't get better than this. This film is a must see for me every year (along with the sequel).
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation - Absolutely hilarious. Chevy Chase is a genius!
Tomten Är Far Till Alla Barnen [Santa Claus Fathered All The Children] - Hysterically funny Swedish Christmas movie about a woman who's on her fourth husband and she has decided to celebrate Christmas with all her three ex-husbands and their new significant others along with all the kids. When they're all sitting down for dinner she announces that she's pregnant with her new husband (something he didn't know). The only problem is... he's sterilized! OOPS! It's pretty much a "who slept with who/everyone's slept with everyone" kind of film. It's brilliant!

The Star Wars Holiday Special, of course!
....What? Okay, so I haven't actually seen it, and George Lucas has specifically stated that he'd be happy to see every copy of it tracked down and burned because it was so bad, but I plan to watch it eventually. One of these days. After all, every Star Wars fan deserves to go through at least one ritual viewing, for good or for ill.
Anywho, I agree with Melda on Grinch (though I personally love the live one too, for its own reasons). I also consider It's A Wonderful Life, Home Alone, and A Muppet's Christmas Carol to be holiday musts. Oh, and Miracle on 34th Street. That movie's gotten better as I've gotten older.

We have a video of ABT's Nutcracker, we usually watch that, and White Christmas.
Though White Christmas is usually watched in summer.
Last year we watched "The Christmas Shoes," (the one with the song by Newsong), and that was a favorite.

Oooh! Yes! All of these movies are excellent, however Love Actually is my personal favorite, and I must watch it around Christmas, because it just doesn't seem right any other time of the year...  Ooo, I love that movie!

White Christmas
It's a Wonderful Life
A Christmas Story
A Christmas Carol (we have 2 different versions)
Remember the Night (with Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray)

Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Duh.
But that's only because that's the only time I can marathon it stuffing out of it.

I usually watch the Muppet Christmas Carol at least twice.  I love that movie. Then we watch Miracle on 34th Street [the old one], Scrooge, It's A Wonderful Life, A Charlie Brown Christmas, and then any other Christmassy ones we think of.
