Every year I compile a schedule of my picks for movies guaranteed to bring the Christmas spirit to those who celebrate the holiday. This year is no different. This TCM is showing Christmas movies every Saturday and Sunday until December 17 when they begin their marathon of non-stop holiday films that last until December 25.
Some of you may notice Meet Me in St. Louis (1944) is not included in the schedule. Now Meet Me in St. Louis is one of my all-time favourite movies. If not for The Wizard of Oz (1939), it would be my favourite Judy Garland movie. As much as I love Meet Me in St. Louis, I have never, ever thought of it as a Christmas movie. In fact, my favourite times to watch are in the spring and the fall! For those of you who do think of it as a Christmas movie, I will tell you that Meet Me in St. Louis is airing on TCM at 11:00 PM on Saturday; December 16; at 7:00 PM on Thursday; and December 21; at 5:00 PM on Sunday, December 24.
Anyway, without further ado, here is the schedule of my picks for Christmas movies to watch on Turner Classic Movies in December 2023. All times are Central.
