A movie marathon is an almost indispensable part of the holiday season. What could be better than gathering on the couch in cozy ugly Christmas sweaters, destroying the snacks, and watching movie after movie?

And… this is where the trouble begins. Which movies can be rightfully considered Christmas movies?
