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."

"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."

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.
