The Zanta Claws episodes of Eddsworld are classics.
Would the Community episode "Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas" count? I also grew up watching Rankin-Bass' Santa Claus is Comin' to Town special, mainly because my mother also grew up watching it. There was also their Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer special, which I mainly remember because of my father's impeccable Charlie-in-the-Box and Bumble the Abominable Snow Monster impressions.
My favorite Christmas movie is probably Live Action How the Grinch Stole Christmas but I remember watching Home Alone 3 all the time as a kid
My favorite Christmas special is both Spongebob Christmas Specials
I’ve been watching some clips of the rankin/bass special of “ Santa Claus is coming to town” on my iPad and I just love the songs in that movie
The first Phineas and Ferb Christmas Special is one of the only must watches for me every christmas. Phineas and Ferb was one of my favorite shows growing up, so watching it is one of the only things that makes me feel like a kid again lmao. Helps that i also have a vivid memory of hearing This Christmas Feeling playing in a store when i was a little kid so i tend to get thrown back to that specific time period hearing it.
i will say them calling doofenschmirtz inator "the naughty inator" and making it look like that is crazy imma be real
Grandma got run over by a Reindeer.
Classic if you grew up in the 2000s
El Super Mario acaba de comer un hongo ancho.
Rise of the Guardians (about saving Christmas by Santa helping his comrades) and Klaus (about creating Christmas traditions by building up community one mailed letter at a time).
Formerly The Nightmare Before Christmas, for how one guy learns selfishness and greed can risk everything he loves; because I never liked the Horror elements or how Halloween is depicted all that much, it's lost some of its appeal over rewatches through the years.

The Invader Zim Christmas Special still has the best ending of any holiday special I've seen.

I grew up in the 2000s and somehow never heard of it. I gotta give it a watch.
Mr.Hankey's Christmas Classics. It even premiered the very day I was born.
The Madagascar Penguins in a Christmas Caper because nostalgia (and its also like the only Christmas special I saw that I have any memories off)

Home alone 1 & 2 were staples of my childhood.
Nowadays I personally love the first jingle all the way (the second doesn't exist)
And the always sunny Christmas 2 parter is really good for how unhinged it all is
In the modern day, I'd also put Xmas Story and tale of 2 santas from Futurama up there as well,

Well I did watch some shows that a Christmas special in it or just a episode but I do watch a Christmas anime movie every Christmas and thats the godfather
But hey i am excited for Christmas so I guess that's a good thing
The Snowman (1982)
Beautifully animated, and it still hold up today. The ending still has me in tears after all these years.
