Guess my 20th favorite Christmas movie from this screenshot of the film.

Only your first guess counts. Send your guess to whatthehelldoesrantmean@yahoo.com. Also make sure to comment this post so your guess counts. Three points for the first to correctly guess the film or special, one point for all correct guesses afterwards.
