Agree with Nightmare Before Christmas, great for Halloween, and Christmas. Will be putting the dvd on at Christmas.

Black Christmas - a slasher film, the original please.

Slightly off topic (the OP asked for films set at Christmas, but weren't necessarily Christmas films) if you have Movies 24, looks like each weekend from now they will be having a Christmas movie fest!

The Polar Express <3 Favourite Christmas film, ever!

I also want to buy Beauty & the Beast: Enchanted Christmas, on DVD. I remember watching it when I was about 8-9 & feeling extremely Christmassy watching it!

Also: The Santa Clause, Santa Clause - The Movie, Home Alone I & II, Love Actually, Bridget Jones, The Grinch, Elf... to name a few!

Oh, and The Snowman! I bought this for £3 at Tesco a few days ago! (Even though it's free on YouTube, but still - I always watch this every Christmas Eve on Ch4... definitely gets me in the mood!)
