Christmas Party Video
December 5, 2011 11:00 AM Subscribe
We're hosting a Christmas party and I wanted to play a looping video featuring clips of popular Christmas video clip moments. I thought this might be an easy one to find, but I've come up short! Examples of what I'm looking for are inside.
- A Christmas Story, Ralphie sticking his tongue onto the pole.. really there are a dozen relevant clips possible there.
- South Park Christmas moments
- The Office - Christmas Party.
Anything that's a classic Christmas movie moment, or a funny contemporary sitcom or movie moment...
I could put together a playlist on youtube I believe, but I was wondering if anyone had come across something they'd seen already that might fit the bill or be something I can start with.

check out scenes from "Trading Places" - it takes place around Christmas (although, warning, some scenes/comments might be kind of crude and un-PC).
Practically the entire movie "Christmas Vacation" (especially Cousin Eddie!) Christmas Vacation.
Again, could be kind of crude.
More friendly:
Linus explains meaning of Christmas.
Heat and Snow Misers
There are a ton of ideas! I'll try to add more later!

-The end of It's A Wonderful Life where everyone is hugging and loving each other and dumping cash on the table.
-The scene in How the Grinch Stole Christmas where he slinks around the trees and steals all the presents, and the scene where he's singing Welcome Christmas with the Whos.
-The part from The Snowman where the kid goes to the snowpeople dance party.

There's probably some good scenes in Elf; the end of polar express with the bells; will you have sound? because the muppets carol of the bells is fun.

Nice idea! In fact, I might yoink it the next time we throw a Christmas party. Here's my totally subjective list of Christmas scenes (some may be popular though):
- nth almost anything from A Christmas Story, especially when the family's having 'Christmas dinner' in the empty Chinese restaurant
- nthing Home Alone, e.g., when the mom comes home to the fully decorated house; and also the scene in the church
- Judy Davis explaining her non-traditional Christmas dinner in The Ref
- the little girl singing "All I Want For Christmas is You" in Love, Actually
- Jean-Luc Picard's fantasy Victorian Christmas and then realising he's in the Nexus in Generations
- I forget which movie it is now (prolly one of the early ones) but Harry Potter et. al. receiving Christmas gifts via owl
- Santa (unnamed) giving gifts to the kids in Narnia; also Edmund gorging on Turkish Delight
I'd look for the links for you but I'm at work. :)

"Meet Me In St. Louis": Judy Garland singing to little Margaret O'Brien, little Margaret O'Brien bursts into tears and begins decapitating her snowmen.

Response by poster: You guys have helped me immensely. I did some additional research tonight and it appears the best keyword is "montage". I've got a ton of material starting with YouTube searches for Christmas movie montage.
Thanks for all the help guys!
