Ernest Saves Christmas is the only answer.

Ernest brings an underage runaway girl home with him to the house he lives in alone, except for his imaginary friend Vern.

That subplot really didn't age well and it's a bad look for Ernest and every year when I point this out I feel like I'm taking crazy pills because no one else seems to see it.

I love me some OG Ernest, but I can't get over that part. He literally drops off Santa Claus, gets shitcanned from his job as a taxi driver, and STILL brings the girl to his house. Am I the only one here who sees how bad this could've gone down? :bahgawd:

The Nicholas Cage Christmas classic featuring Jon Lovitz and Dana Carvey, Trapped in Paradise.

It has everything. A three legged dog, a bank robbery, a police chase, a love story, and Dana Carvey doing a funny voice.

Trapped in Paradise is the best Christmas movie.

Or Just Friends starring Ryan Reynolds. But it�s definitely one of those two.

It's a basic bitch choice because cable has oversaturated it around the holidays, but I kinda wanna still give it to A Christmas Story. It has a nice combination of cynical deadpan humor and genuine childhood sincerity. Plus from what I've gathered it bears a pretty good resemblance to my own dad's childhood growing up in the Midwest in the 50s, so it has a bit of a sentimental connection there.

Runner up is Christmas Vacation, because that makes me nostalgic for how much of an insufferable clusterfuck every single Christmas family gathering has been.

I'll say it. Christmas Vacation sucks. It's a pale rehash of the original Vacation with half as much cynicism and a shockingly pro-Capitalist rhetoric that is completely at odds with the entire weltschmertz of the first movie

I forgot claymation Rudolph, I always loved it especially the island of misfit toys.

Also the Kenny vs Spenny "who can stay up in a Christmas tree the longest?" special is hilarious if you have a terrible sense of humour like I do.
