Christmas Movies on TCM in December 2021

Every December Turner Classic Movies shows several Christmas movies. I have no doubt that many look forward to watching their favourite holiday movies on TCM each year. Given how rough 2021 has been for many, I am guess classic movie buffs may be looking forward to Christmas movies on TCM next month more than usual.

Below is a schedule of Christmas movies airing on Turner Classic Movies in December 2021. Here I have to warn you that I have only included movies that meet my admittedly strict criteria for what is and isn't a Christmas movie. As much as I love Meet Me in St. Louis (1944)--it is one of my favourite movies of all time--I never have really thought of it as a Christmas movie, even though I can understand why some do. In cases of movies that I haven't seen, I included them as I have no way of knowing if they meet my criteria or not. BTW, if you are wondering about those criteria, you an find them here at my post "What Is a Christmas Movie." 

All times are Central.

Star in the Night was the first thing we saw on TCM. There was no notice from the cable company that we were getting the movie channel but we came upon J. Carroll Naish and I was afraid to change the channel in case it disappeared!
