    Nightmare before Christmas and The Family Man both sail through, both 5-1 - edited to count nightie's below vote which couldn't save the Shop Around the Corner I'm afraid. :)

    That's hardly fair. The Muppet babies will be asleep by then and the Die Hard lads have guns and stuff.

    .

    Also could be opening a can or worms here, is Lethal Weapon a Christmas movie?

    Sorry of it's already been answered, but Lethal weapon isn't a Christmas movie. If you remove Christmas from the story, it makes no difference. Die Hard is a Christmas movie because it needs to happen at Christmas. Without the Christmas party, Bruce Willis will not be there, etc.

    I do agree with this logic.

    Thankfully lethal weapon didn’t advance.
