Favourite Christmas film is any of the Bridget Jones films (I know not everyone sees them as Christmas films!)
And favourite tv show special is the outnumbered one, I’m a sucker for a sitcom.

Flash Gordon.

My dad took me to see it when I was young, bless him he'd always ring me laughing over Xmas when he saw it was on and tell me what channel, normally Boxing Day or New Year's Eve.

Brian Blessed is hilarious & it always makes me smile when the Flash Speed Mop advert comes on the TV.

Hail Ming. And my lovely Dad ❤️

Me too! And Delia's Christmas
 
Royle Family, Only Fools, The Office, Gimme Gimme Gimme, back in the day I used to love festive episodes of Brookside as they always seemed to have some sort of big story, not festive but I love Carry On films at Xmas 😂
I was a fan of Friends and Father Ted but never liked any of their Xmas episodes/ that getting lost in the lingerie dept episode.
 
OK, I love all the TV this time of year, so here goes:

Films

Home Alone : just a brilliant film, love the music too from John Williams. The mother's coat deserves a film of its own.
Die Hard 1&2. 1 is obviously the superior film ,but will happily watch 2. Love the weird disjointed feeling in Die Hard 1 of Christmas in sunny California and an office Christmas party at a Japanese company. Plus using the Beethoven music as a leitmotif for the terrorists
The Polar Express: if you don't get a bit teary eyed at the ending, you have no soul
It's a Wonderful Life (of course)

Christmas Specials/TV Shows

Father Ted Christmas Special- absolutely iconic.
The Snowman, for the music alone
Call the Midwife: Just the perfect way to end Christmas day. Such a warm feel-good show
The Den: This one is from my youth: every year Zig, Zag ,Ray, Dustin and later Soky had to save Christmas, sometimes from the nefarious Podge

Films that Are Not Christmas Films But I Always Watch At Christmas

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory: Of course
Where Eagles Dare : Broadsword calling Danny Boy. Richard Burton in terrific form in the ultimate Winter film
Kelly's Heroes: Negative Waves maan,
A Bridge too Far: Great story moves at a good clip with an unmatched cast: what other film can boat Sean Connery, James Caan, Gene Hackman, Michael Caine, Anthony Hopkins and Robert Redford?
LOTR Trilogy: Has to be the Extended Editions !
Harry Potter and the One That is On When I Turn on the TV
Always end up watching one of the Hitchcock films, like The Birds or North By Northwest
