Home Alone 1 & 2 are epic, but you gotta watch A Christmas Story.
It's a movie filmed in the 80's, but set in the 50's, and man oh man it's good. Narrator depicts life and love and perfection as a kid. You won't be sorry. Watch it. A Christmas Story.
As for nearly "new" movies, Jim Carrey actually didn't do too shabby at all with The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. The original Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas is probably the greatest cartoon of all time, but Jim Carrey's take is nearly 99.9% up there with it and gets nearly zero credit.
If all else fails, watch Tim Allen's "The Santa Claus" (the first especially, 2nd ain't bad at all either, but the 3rd is like aids).
Not that you'd wanna hear me out, but I'm a Christmas guy. I'm married with a 5 year old boy and so this is my 6th year being Santa for him and also, my nephew is 18 years old and I pretty much handled that, as well. Love me or hate me, I know dat Santa and dem movies.
You won't be sorry.
PS - If you want an adult movie, try Christmas with the Kranks.
