Peewee’s Christmas Special
It’s Peewee Herman so inevitably it’s going to be a weird Christmas – Grace Jones, Oprah, Whoopi Goldberg, Joan Rivers and Cher all make an appearance – definitely worth the horrific flashbacks.

The Nightmare Before Christmas
This Tim Burton classic is a must watch if you’re looking for a great Christmas movie with a slightly darker approach to holiday cheer.
