"Love Actually"? Nope.
"Muppet Christmas Spectacular"? Nope.
All of the above are valid options, but mine is a bit more obscure.
It's a gem of made-for-TV tale of a family's plight to save Santa's house.
Why should you watch it?
1) It stars Art Carney and Jacqueline Smith.
2) The child actors are BRILLIANT. They make those Fanning sisters look like schlubs.
3) The story uses that age-old plot device where an evil corporation wants to drill oil on a beautiful piece of property (in this case, Santa's yard). Cue multiple gratuitous shots of bull dozers creeping closer & closer to the candy cane village.
4) The scenes that take place in Santa's workshop feature special effects that will make you miss movies that don't require 3-D glasses.
5) The end may or may revolve around Santa's sleigh and the moon.
Watch Part 1 here. Don't worry, the other 11 parts can be found on Youtube. You won't be sorry.
