2.  Collectively, the Rankin-Bass specials

1. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
2. Santa Claus is Comin' to Town - Fred Astaire!

5. there are others, but those are all you need

3.  The Original (Boris Karloff!) The Grinch Who Stole Christmas

4.   A Charlie Brown Christmas

6.  Scrooge (A Christmas Carol) - and the first shall be best (Alistair Sim)

7.  Elf - we just watched this the other night!
