A Charlie Brown Christmas, A Christmas Story, the first two Home Alone movies, and many others are Holiday movie staples. TV shows aren't exempt from this either. Seinfeld, "The Strike" and The Office, "Christmas Party" are likely played in most households in December.

As time has gone on, newer classics have arrived. Elf, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and The Santa Clause are perfect examples of this. However, some other TV show episodes and movies should be in your Holiday rotation. Here are the top ten.

Writer note, Die Hard isn't on this list. Whether or not it's a Christmas movie is such a controversial topic that it was left out.

Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas Special

"Maybe because I'm his sister, I feel like I should give Peter a happy Christmas." -Mantis

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special was an instant classic. Drax and Mantis going to Earth without supervision was hilarious. They didn’t know anything about human culture. Let alone Christmas. All they knew was their teammate (and Manits’ brother) Star-Lord needed a pick-me-up.

Inside all of the jokes and calamity was a heartwarming story. Mantis went above and beyond to make her brother happy. In the end, Peter said finding out that he had a sister was the greatest Christmas gift he could get.
