For kitsch is A Clayamation Christmas Celebration.

It was made when the Calfornia Raisins were super popular so they have a segment singing. It is 100% stop animation using clay and I have to admit even at 30 years old I love this movie.

All the carols the creatures sing have been altered to be a little more funky and a little more funny. I showed it to my nephews and they loved it as well so now it has become a family tradition to watch it every year.

Came out in 1990-1991 so it may be hard to find but so worth it.


Then there is A Garfield Christmas Special that came out in 1987. The boys (Jon, Odie and Garfield) go to Jon's parents' house for Xmas. It has simple jokes and a great moral plus plenty of dry humor.

I think you can find it on YouTube.

I love Christmas movies and have favorites like "Holiday Inn" and "It's A Wonderful Life" but the two I mentioned above are a must for my family every year.
