'The Polar Express' (2004) Image Credit: Warner Brothers/courtesy Everett Collection The Polar Express shares the story of a young boy who finds himself on a journey to the North Pole on a magical train - the Polar Express. A beloved Christmas film, the movie shares the message of believing in the spirit of the holiday. The movie features motion-capture computer-animation, which means the characters were created partly from work by real-life actors blended with computerized animation. Tom Hanks notably stood in and voiced a number of the roles. The Polar Express earned three Academy Award nominations, all centered around the film's music/sound.

Before Rudolph was the Christmas icon he is today, he was rejected by the North Pole reindeers for his unique red nose. However, the very feature he was criticized for ends up being an asset to Santa and the rest of the world when Rudolph saves Christmas. A 2018 THR poll found that Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is the most beloved holiday film, further solidifying the reach and longevity of this story.

An oldie but a goodie, Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas features three separate stories that spotlight different sets of characters: Donald Duck and the rest of the Duck family; Goofy and Max; and Minnie and Mickey Mouse.

'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' (2000) Image Credit: Courtesy of Everett Collection In the live-action adaptation of the widely known Dr. Seuss book, Jim Carrey stepped into the unforgettably green role for How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The film tells the story of the Grinch, a creature who cannot stand Christmas, living on Mount Crumpit right outside of Whoville. When Cindy Lou Who (Taylor Momsen) learns about the Grinch's story, she sets out to reinstall Christmas spirit in his heart. How the Grinch Stole Christmas was nominated for three Oscars and won one for best makeup. Momsen reflected on how beloved the film has become in conversation with THR, noting, "The film that [director] Ron [Howard] made is so heartwarming. How can you not love it?
