Has there been a good Christmas movie since Elf?

Elf is great until the last 15% or so at which point I literally just turn it off.
Klaus on Netflix is actually really good.
The Night Before was decent but completely forgotten. Christmas Chronicle on Netflix also isn't bad but still isn't all that good. My family has already made it a constant watch along with Elf.
I will take this time to say just how horrible Noelle is on Disney+ it's like they wanted to mash Elf, Santa Clause 2, and every generic feeling Hallmark Christmas movie all in to one.

Elf was released November 7, 2003
This was released December 5, 2003:
Do yourselves all a favor and watch this movie TONIGHT! It's a Christmas Eve movie and one of Kon's most approachable, straightforward films. Beautiful, sad, well-written, everything.
I was going to do something like that, but I already ended up watching it with my friends a couple weeks ago.
I think Will Ferrell really needed money that year or something.
Last year's Dr. Seuss's The Grinch from Illumination was really good. It's now on my family's annual holiday movie watch list.
Came in here just to drop this one. Worked at a movie theater when it released and it seemed to perform respectably, but I don't think it really made a huge splash or anything. Still a great movie.Yes, Arthur Christmas:
Its a 2011 Christmas movie that has an interesting take on Santa Clause actually being a title within this family who delivers toys to kids through different generations rather than just being 1 immortal man doing this for years. And its about Arthur who's just someone who checks the kid's letter's for the current Santa, finds out that this new high tech Santa sleigh missed on girl's house and forgot to deliver the gift. Arthur then goes onto a quest with a former Santa and an elf to locate this house and deliver this one gift before Christmas morning rises. There's also a story about how one person (Hugh Laurie's character) in the Christmas family (the name of the Clause family in this) was waiting in line to get the proper title but deals with the disappointment that the current Santa announces that he's staying at his role. Honestly I need to stop talking about this film. I just remember watching this movie in 2017 and was really floored with how well told the story was and how inspirational it ended up being.
Dreamworks' Rise of the Guardians might not count since it features all the holidays, though it's centered around Christmas. I thought most of the movie was just okay, but the way they handled Jack Frost was excellent and surprisingly poignant for a movie that was clearly targeting children.
Not a Christmas movie.
This is though!
I'm ok with the Frozen movies being considered Christmas movies
Likewise, the Harry Potter movies almost all feature a Christmas scene where some major development unfolds, so I associate those with the season
Krampus is my jam
Klaus is pretty good too, even if it really stretches to great lengths to reimagine the Santa mythos.

This Christmas season has been magical.
I've introduced my 13 year old daughter to: Gremlins, Christmas Vacation, DieHard, and Krampus.
Tonight is my personal favorite: A Christmas Story.
Be sure to drink your ovaltine, kids!

The Night Before is also great

Can't argue with this one, it should have been a bigger hit.

Frozen is absolutely a Christmas movie.
How in the world is it a Christmas movie? Because of snowmen and reindeer?
Christmas chronicles, the film with Kurt Russell is a great film.
That's another red for you
Just let me have this one. Just this once.
Klaus will be a generational classic.
Edit: absolutely love The Santa Clause. Elf does nothing for me. Sorry OP.

Yeah sure. It all depends on when you where born and what you watched when you believed in Santa.
Elf is to the X
Also all Christmas songs are terrible

Joyeux Noel is supposed to be quite good. The Christmas Truce is just a great story all around though so it's almost cheating
