What’s your favorite geeky Christmas movie?

Stacy Bishop For years and years, I’ve always watched the OG Star Wars Trilogy for Christmas, as it’s always on television at this point during the holidays. But if I had to pick a movie that isn’t traditionally thought of as a Christmas movie (but I watch every year), I would choose Gremlins!

Danniel Slade In 2014, I got a hold of a copy of the Star Wars Holiday Special. I have made that a yearly tradition every year since then. I pour a glass of spiked egg nog and prepare for Bea Arthur’s “Good Night, but Not Goodbye.

Brian Lazarow My favorite Christmas movie of all time is A Christmas Carol, but my favorite geeky Christmas movie is probably Rise of the Guardians.

Monica Duarte My favorite Geeky Christmas Movie is the Star Wars Christmas special. Ha! Just kidding. I don’t have a favorite Christmas movie. If I had to choose one I would say the Harry Potter series because they always celebrate Christmas at Hogswart. But my favorite Geeky Christmas thing to watch is the Doctor Who Christmas Special. They have one almost every year. And re-watching the older ones is always a treat.

Amanda Fox Rosowski Doctor Who Christmas specials, it’s an annual tradition here!

Jose Vasquez My favorite Christmas movie is Die Hard I know it’s not a geeky Christmas movie but this movie has everything action, awesome one-lines, explosions, gun fights, and lets not forget the magnificent Alan Rickman playing Hans Gruber.

Josie Price I’m a big ol’ softie for Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Something about the classic nostalgia of it meeting the beautiful music and warm storyline brings my heart so much joy.

Matthew Wells I’ve always been a fan of the “Charlie Brown Christmas” special. Seeing it on TV always made it feel like the holiday season had officially started. “Scrooged” with Bill Murray has some of my favorite holiday movie moments. And “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” is an almost perfect comedy of how messed up the holiday ends up feeling sometimes.
