Holiday Movie – A Christmas Story Based on the humorous writings of author Jean Shepherd, this beloved holiday movie follows the wintry exploits of youngster Ralphie Parker (Peter Billingsley), who spends most of his time dodging a bully (Zack Ward) and dreaming of his ideal Christmas gift, a "Red Ryder air rifle." Frequently at odds with his cranky dad (Darren McGavin) but comforted by his doting mother (Melinda Dillon), Ralphie struggles to make it to Christmas Day with his glasses and his hopes intact.

Holiday Movie – White Christmas The definitive Yuletide film! A simple story of two Army buddies who help their former officer to popularize his winter resort. This framework serves for 15 tuneful Irving Berlin numbers, including "Count Your Blessings", "Sisters", "Love You Didn't Do Right By Me", and the classic rendering of the title song by Bing Crosby. The four stars are at the peak of their popularity and charm, preserved on celluloid for endless enjoyment.
