Christmas Story,
Miracle on 34th ( original)
It's a Wonderful Life

I have to add:

A Christmas Carol ( 1951) Alistair Sims

By the time I was old enough to watch it they had started showing it on television. It left a huge impression on me.

Gian Carlo Menotti's Amahl & The Night Visitors 1963 version with Kurt Yaghjian..

It is rare to find it because Menotti did not like that it was taped without him being there. But it is still magic for me.
