@“whatsarobot”#p51734 maaaan dunno why I clicked on that despite knowing the inevitable result. That lady‘s singing gets lodged in my brain like nothing else. Doesn’t even have to be words, even just nonsense noises like her hot pepper commercial
The Ref used to be one of my favourite christmas movies before Kevin Spacey was outed as a predator. Tokyo Godfathers has been my very favourite by a country mile ever since I first saw it (in 2011, I think?).
Here's some other stuff:

@“JoJoestar”#p11704 this game rocks!!
It does!
I‘m putting together a terrible playlist of stupid Christmas covers. That is to say, artists covering songs that they made popular, but changing the lyrics to be Christmassy. I’ve got 3 examples so far:
There have to be more, so please help me do something dumb.
‘Tis the season.

I saw The Holdovers recently at a theater. It's a really good holiday movie.
I'd you need a background Christmas stream, check this out

(this may have been posted before but scrolling through this thread is like a graveyard of landscape-oriented grey rectangles)
I worked in retail for too many Christmas times and this is the album that got me through it:

James Brown's Funky Christmas! It's a best of, and not just best of greatest album cover of all time!
Xmas Marks the Spot is a great Christmas episode of The Real Ghostbusters, and I watch it just about every year.

The Ghostbusters find that their drive in a winter storm places them in a pocket of time and space that transports them not only back in time, but also into London for some reason! It's there that they encounter an old grouchy penny pinching man being terrorized by three ghastly spirits!
EDIT: Looks like I already recommended this way up in the earlier part of this thread, but here's a direct link to it now anyway.
@“hellomrkearns”#p142439 This one's pretty egregious https://youtu.be/5vwz3LulCA4
@“TheFragranceOfDarkCoffee”#p143146 perfect! I‘m doing a YouTube playlist as well for options. I’ve also added Wheatus - Christmas Dirtbag which came out a few weeks ago.
kate bush christmas special is an obvious one, but i‘m posting it anyway because i love it and it’s very funny that she goes from a christmas song to a song about murdering her fiance.

the roches' christmas album is the holiday music i have the most nostalgia for, and it holds up. i have particular affection for this cloud of 90s production soup.

los campesinos!' christmas album too, particularly their version of the holly and the ivy. it's basically a rob taylor solo track. i find it really beautiful.

@“hellomrkearns”#p96543 I am so happy another TPB fan is here on the IC forums. I say “worst case Ontario” so much sometimes I forget when I'm not around other people who have seen the show and have let it slip out accidentally.
