7 Forgotten Christmas Films To Watch This Holiday Season

Christmas movies seem to ebb and flow with the current demands of television viewers. Sometimes our favorite films become lost in the newer films until they are exiled from the program lineup. Here is a list of seven Christmas films I no longer see play on television but it still doesn't feel like Christmas without them.

1. "Annabelle's Wish."

View the trailer for "Annabelle's Wish" here.

"Annabelle's Wish" features a calf who was born on Christmas Eve who wants nothing more than to be one of Santa's reindeer, and a young boy, Billie, who lost his voice and parents in a barn fire. It shows their friendship and a custody battle in the midst of Christmas. Created by the "Make a Wish" foundation, it is sure to be a tear-jerker this holiday season.

2. "Eloise at Christmastime."


Eloise is up to her old antics again during Christmas as she tries to pair her best friend up with his old sweetheart. While trying to spread cheer to the other residents of the plaza, she will buy gifts for her long list of friends and wish to spend her holidays with her mother. Her nanny is also a familiar face to most as she is played by Julie Andrews, who will try and soothe some of the damage of her attempts by stopping a major scam happening this Christmas.

3. "Bah, Humduck! A Looney Tunes Christmas."


Daffy Duck stars in this funny version of "A Christmas Carol." Daffy owns a large toy store and isn't willing to give his employees time off for the holidays with a very small wage. It's a familiar story told with classic Looney Tunes characters.

4. "Unaccompanied Minors."


"Unaccompanied Minors" is a light-hearted film about children stuck in an airport during the holidays, specifically an airport not interested in showing any holiday spirit. So, these children take it upon themselves to celebrate their own way: by causing a ruckus.

5. "Olive the Other Reindeer."


Olive is a dog who isn't interested in being a dog, much to her owner's misfortune. When Santa makes a press release cancelling Christmas, she mishears him and goes on a quest to assist Santa by becoming his substitute reindeer. With a watch con-artist penguin helping her, will Olive be able to reach Santa in time for the holidays before the evil mailman stops her?

6. "Santa Baby."

View the trailer for "Santa Baby" here.

Santa is becoming swamped at the North Pole, and when his wife telegrams about his health to their daughter, Mary, she comes to see how she can help. But as Mary soon learns that he doesn't want help from his business-focused daughter, she begins to try and manage anyway. Will Mary be able to save Christmas or will the new system make it fall apart?

7. "Beauty and the Beast: Enchanted Christmas."


Have you ever wondered what happened around the time of the infamous snowball fight in "Beauty and the Beast?" Well, wonder no more for this movie answers all the questions. While animated sequels aren't known to be spectacular, this movie has all the heart from the original and gives more of an insight to how Belle and her Beast got on during their time together in the castle.


What's your favorite holiday movie?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
