Some of these include "All I Want For Christmas Is You" featuring Mariah Carey, as well as "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation."

"Christmas in Connecticut" was made more than seven decades ago and features Barbara Stanwyck and Dennis Morgan. A true classic.

Viewers can also look forward to that old school nostalgia with classics like "Jack Frost," "Rudolph's Shiney New Year," and "The Polar Express.

"One Magic Christmas" was a huge success and earned more than $13 million at the box office. Very impressive for a film from the mid-eighties.

There will be something for everyone, from romances to adventures, from dramas to kids' shows. Either snuggle up for an evening in alone or make a family night of it.

Why not watch "Elf" with the children and turn it into an unforgettable family evening? It stars Will Ferrell in the title role, and one can never go wrong with him.

No matter our plans, we can all rely on certain classic shows and movies to re-establish our priorities and remind us of why all of the last-minute shopping and excessive spending is worth it.

And this list would not be complete without mentioning Kurt Russel's "The Miracle."

Made back in 2004, the sports docudrama follows the US men's hockey team, lead by Russel in the role of coach Herb Brooks.
