And finally there are just so many made for TV Christmas movies that are really good, I'd just suggest that you plug in your Chromecast dongle and go to YouTube and search for Christmas Movies, you're sure to find something to enjoy. Sometimes, it's even better when you discover something new for yourself.

These last two suggestions are better than most made for TV movies.

17.The Homecoming: A Christmas Story - (1971) Patricia Neal, Richard Thomas, and Edgar Bergen

18.A Christmas Without Snow - (1980) Michael Learned, and John Houseman

Another suggestion is to create a YouTube Playlist and search and tag all of your favorite Christmas Cartoons, then play them any time you like. There's more there than what you'll ever be able to sit and watch, but it's a better idea than watching regular TV programming. No Commercials-Yea!

Here's wishing you all the best of times and may you have the happiest of holidays.
