Mine is Se7en because it's about a young couple who travel to the big city while expecting a child and the story culminates in the giving of a religiously motivated gift.

Also, Die Hard with a Vengeance

I think I've watched every Satoshi Kon movie except Tokyo Godfathers. Been meaning to watch it but it sounds sappy and christmassy and not like his other movies at all. Someday I'll get to it

It's not a movie but I really like the Invader Zim Santa episode.

Bow down! Bow down! Be-fore the power of SAN-TA, or be cruushed... be cruuushed... by... HIS JOLLY BOOTS OF DOOM!

In Bruges is set around Christmas time and the fact that Christmas is coming up is relevant. There's snow. It's my favorite movie, Christmas or no, but it's definitely my favorite Christmas movie.

The Witches of Eastwick

Why?

I'm making it a Christmas movie for myself because I'm going to watch it right now and create the custom. You might want to say - but you could do that for any movie.

Yes. Why yes I could.

Kiss kiss Bang Bang is a Christmas movie. He gets almost arrested for stealing presents, and then accidentally ends up in LA after crashing into an open audition for a crime movie.
