Your Favorite Holiday Special

It occurred to me today that the "I have a machine gun now. Ho-ho-ho" scene in Die Hard is kind of D&D-ish. Just the whole looting a better weapon off of a slain enemy thing
And then the Malkavian art in 1st Edition Vampire The Masquerade wore it on a shirt, kinda coming full circle there.

Let's see: Does "That Christmas" on Netflix count? A cute animated Christmas flick based on stories written by the screenwriter of "Love Actually." It's become an annual watch for my family. (It debuted at BFI London, but went straight to Netflix).

"Muppets Family Christmas": all of the then- Muppets on screen at once (Muppet Show, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, and even a touch of Muppet Babies). It's on YouTube.

And since I can't pick "Muppets Christmas Carol'" I'm going to pick "Emmit Otter," my wife's favorite.

I'd also vote "Hogfather," but I literally just started watching it for the first time this morning.

Honorable mentions to "Prep and Landing" (My wife's other favorite), "Phineas and Ferb's Chrismtas Vacation!" (A favorite of our kids), and "Charlie Brown" (for nostalgia factor).
