Are there any decent new Christmas movies?

All the ones I've so far are pretty lame.

It's quite funny and bawdy. It's about the only Christmas production I've ever enjoyed.

I'm not a big fan of Christmas movies in general. Actually, I'm not a fan of Christmas either. So the more irreverent the better.

I hate dubbing - the actors' mouths don't line up with the words and it drives me crazy. And I understand a fair amount of Norwegian, so watching a dubbed version of this series would drive me even crazier.

I forget to think of it as a Christmas movie but from now on I’m going to say it’s my favorite. Great movie about the Christmas Eve truce in WW1
