Holidays
These are movies & specials I like to watch at certain times of the year, usually a specific holiday or holidays.
Note: Not all movies or TV show episodes on this list are holiday related, but many of them take place on or during said specific holiday times.
Others, I feel are just related closely enough to certain holidays that I watch them on said holiday or close enough to the time of it & have therefore been included on this list.
