National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation for sure, White Christmas for Danny Kaye's dancing. It's a Wonderful Life because, well, you know.
And one we've not watched recently, Jodie Foster's Home for the Holidays which is really more a Thanksgiving movie. This has some terrific A list actors, Anne Bancroft, Geraldine Chaplin, and Charles Durning, as well as Robert Downey Jr. during his heroin phase. It really hits some familiar family dynamics right on the nose.
