Can't beat The Snowman for a perfect Christmas short film. I kinda like just about any version of A Christmas Carol.

That film was a box office flop, made a loss, and got no awards, BTW. Its success is a modern phenomenon. It is the Merkin Christmas Carol, but without the good writing, plot, characterisation or script.
It is a silly film, with a contrived plot, a silly premise and a childish ending.
The Snow Goose is a far, far better example of the genre. But that was a British film, so does not count on IMDB.

Gets 8.7 on IMDB. That must land it in the top 10 films of all time on the site.
