'Woke Up in America' host Rob Schneider joins 'Fox News Saturday Night' to discuss classic Christmas films and personal favorites.

Park your reindeer, grab some eggnog and start hanging the lights. It’s Christmastime and that means it’s also time for the definitive list of Christmas movies.

If you don’t watch at least one of these movies every year, no Christmas for you. Santa won’t even bother giving you some carbon-based energy. You are on the naughty list.

First off, some rules. Lots of movies take place during Christmas. They might even feature Christmas in a significant way. But to be a true Christmas movie, you have to celebrate the spirit of the holiday.

I’m looking at you, "Die Hard." Yes, we all feel good watching Hans Gruber go falling out the window of Nakatomi Plaza, watch in hand, but that’s hardly the spirit of peace on earth, good will toward men. Great movie, but it doesn’t count here. (Happy trails, Hans!)

AMERICANS WANT A TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS EVEN IF HOLLYWOOD DOESN'T

The same goes for all the holiday horror flicks. "Silent Night, Deadly Night," "Krampus" and even "The Nightmare Before Christmas" are all out. We want to sleigh, not slay. Ditto comedies like "Bad Santa" and "Home Alone." A sexed-up, cursing, alcoholic Santa is hardly family fare. And violence, even slapstick violence, lacks that yuletide spirit.

We need classic, endearing, rewatchable movies to make this list. Not cinema. Movies. The kind you and your whole family can see again and again and leave wanting to be nice to your mean relatives and give till it hurts. That leaves out the Hallmark movies, too. They have made an awesome contribution to the annual celebration, but there isn’t a classic among them. Here they are, in order.

Let the festivities begin:

Christmas and capitalism, together again, just like Macy’s and Gimbels. This gift-giving classic features Edmund Gwenn as the real-life Kris Kringle. Only Gwenn is so good at it that he probably studied for the part at the North Pole. The scene where he sings in Dutch to a war orphan is magical.
