"The Year Without a Santa Claus" is my absolute favorite Christmas movie/special! Not only does it have that iconic song, but I recommend everyone check out the song "I Believe in Santa Claus" because it is so sweet and makes me cry.
The year without a santa claus taking so long to get hurts my heart. I'm over here like knowing the whole plot to like every rankin and bass christmas movie
Someone said Michael Caine was so good in The Muppet Christmas Carol, because he treated the Muppets as fellow actors. And Tim Curry was so good in Muppet Treasure Island because he considered himself just another Muppet.
Am I the only one who instantly knew The Year Without a Santa Claus? I watched that for HOURS as a kid lol! And let's not forget Snow Meiser's cameo appearance in Batman & Robin! And I totally also knew The Santa Clause 2 LOL
Nope, I knew The Year Without a Santa Clause right away too! Always made sure to watch it every Christmas on TV, then bought the DVD. The Miser brothers were always my favorite
You are not the only one who instantly knew that movie was "the year without a Santa Claus", and with the exception of krampus (yuck!) I knew everyone as well.
17:08 Edward Scissorhands had its theatrical release on December 7, 1990, which was my 11th birthday. We went to it in the theaters. Both Tim Burton and Danny Elfman consider "Edward Scissorhands their most personal and favorite work." (wikipedia)
Fun Fact: Michael Jackson wanted to play Edward Scissorhands, but they didn't really see him in the role. Which is odd since they based his outfit on Michael's Bad era.
Home Alone 2 was not 1990, it came out in 1992. Home Alone came out in 1990. However, they both were the highest grossing films of their respective release years.
Cosmic Christmas is actually amazing in its entirety and reminding people of seeing past themselves. The symbolism is amazing and it was most famously attached to The Littlest Angel
proud watcher of Hallmark Movies right here ... lol ... they *have* gotten better than they used to be ... and the kiss doesn't *always* come at the end anymore lol ...
Scrooged was hilarious and as much as I love Bill Murray, Carol Kane was my favorite character! She absolutely BEATS the meaning of Christmas into that man!
2:13 this movie is a Christmas Eve family tradition. We try to watch it every year. We do indeed still laugh very hard despite seeing +20x. Mom loves the sap scene, and my brother and i are always just waiting for that cat scene. We love our cats, but it still has us in stitches every time. Xmas vacation, The Flight Before Xmas(animated), and home alone are my go to holiday movies.
Peter Billingsley aka Ralphie returned as older Ralphie in its sequel last year. His original Ralphie's mom declined to be in the sequel because she retired from acting. But all of Ralphie's "friends" return in the sequel. Touching tribute to Ol' Man (Darren McGavin). I watched both movies now.
This was an awesome episode! I'm liking Joe in these more and more! And Nick, Sharon and Jayse were having so much fun! Everyone else as well, but especially those three! I did well with the challenges too, except fot the Hallmark garbage!
My mom has watched, I'm sure, every Hallmark Christmas movie ever released 😂. She watched them on TV every year, and now she's retired so she has all day free, what else is she gonna do lol.
Hey Griswold, where do you think you're gonna put a tree that big?" "Bend over and I'll show you." "You've got a lot of nerve talking to me like that Griswold" "I wasn't talking to you."
Home Alone 32 came out in 1992. Home Alone is 1990 and I should know because my parents told me that the first movie I saw in theaters was when I was five years old, that it was Home Alone and my birth year is 1985.
That's riiiight. Just because a movie takes place at Xmas time does *not* make it an Xmas movie!! You hear that, "Die Hard" fux? No "Scissorhands", no "Die Hard".
It's a favorite of my family's. The year we started dating, I watched it with my boyfriend. He laughed once. To be fair, he has an odd sense of humor no one seems to understand.
@@katstorm13 He must be a tough crowd, anyone that can watch Ralphie's face when he hears the decoded message “Be Sure To Drink Your Ovaltine.” without laughing is hard to humor. I used to have a girlfriend who would basically laugh at nothing (other than jokes that referred to her), she would have been a bad person to bring to a comedy routine.
@@katstorm13 He is missing out! When I was a Senior in high school, I was a teacher's aide for 1st grade in the same Public School system that I started school (still in the same classroom I started out in the school system when I was in 1st grade). Everyone called me Mr. Ben, and it was so much fun! I ended up being a teacher's aide there for the entire school year, it was such a great experience!
I was really hoping for the California Raisins Christmas special! It used to be a yearly holiday staple but you can barely find any references to it nowadays.
9:02 In reference to Scrooged (1988), I created a unique version of the character Tiny Tim for the Christmas program at The Waterford, an assisted living facility I worked at as a Nurse's Assistant (CNA). That Tiny Tim is a rag-tag depression-era character who turned the worst of situations into a corny catchphrase or story.
15:38 The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) is an unique mix of Halloween and Christmas themes. At least in this area, Halloween and Christmas are the two biggest holidays of the year!
3:55 the muppets walk in a different camera angle with no flooring. The top view only shows them stationary. This scene looks like it was connected to the puppeteer’s finger. They can do slight movements in either direction though.
A Muppets Christmas Carol is the best version Michael Cane went so Hard at the scrooge role. Edward's scissor hands is still an amazing movie to this day. Santa clause 2 sucks hate the whole evil robot Santa thing they did in that one now Jack Frost in 3rd one is awesome
Why is The Muppet Christmas Carol the best adaptation of A Christmas Carol? For me? The dichotomy. On one hand, you have the Muppets and all of the zany antics and songs that that entails. On the other hand, you have Sir Michael Caine, one of the greatest actors ever, playing Ebeneezer Scrooge completely straight, just serious as a heart attack.
I can't really argue because I like Hallmark movies mainly due to my mom and my grandma watching a lot of holiday themed movies so please dont come at me. I understand why React doesnt like Hallmark, but honestly their movies arent that bad.
Same here, I hated how much the React producer (or whoever was quizzing the reactors) bashed on them. I only like one Hallmark movie, but my mom loves them and was watching them the other day.
You want an actual good hallmark Christmas movie recommendation from someone who hates hallmark movies? "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year", it's funny, it's got some dark humor, it's got the cheese of course, but lightly dusted, AND great actors. Take my word for it.
I can hear Sharon now. “I am not putting anything on my head.”
Agreed😊

If you ever want to know any interesting facts about December 7th...I have a lot of them lol
Nick and Zaria are a surprisingly funny pair. The others are, too.
Nick & Zaria gave me the most belly laughs 😂
Fun Fact: Michael Jackson wanted to play Edward Scissorhands, but they didn't really see him in the role. Which is odd since they based his outfit on Michael's Bad era.
"Who would call a movie that?"
"Hallmark."
😂 😆 😂 😆🤣🤣😂💀
Nick's chuckle made me laugh soooo hard I cried. . . .TEARS much. . . . 😆🤣😭
He has the BEST chuckle!
This was Nick's episode! On 🔥 with the movies today lol
I had never seen nor heard of A Cosmic Christmas and I grew up watching all kinds of Christmas specials.
I SCREAMED out “the year without a Santa Claus!!” That has always been my favorite Christmas movie
4:26 I remember seeing Ernest Saves Christmas (1988) in the theater, great film!
LOVE Ernest films, always great to see Ernest!
Home Alone 2 was not 1990, it came out in 1992. Home Alone came out in 1990. However, they both were the highest grossing films of their respective release years.
0:11 Angel's Christmas outfit is perfect!
She reminds me of Brandy, who I saw on the film Best.Christmas.Ever. (2023) last night, great film!
Who else appreciates the random absurd answer choice in Joe’s questions?
I love my hallmark Christmas movies! are they the same plot, yup! but i still love them lol
I’m sad they didn’t know The Year without a Santa Claus. I grew up on that one. That was one of those Fox family 25 days of Christmas mainstays.
I love nick so much! His laugh is just 🥰
14:34 Space Jesus Rides Again made me laugh so hard I cried 🤣 I actually had to pause the video and then go back because I missed stuff.
I loved those Franken and bass christmas specials me and my family watched them every year and we looked forward to them
Can we get a compilation of nick laughing :) its contagious

That was is great but my fav version is The Muppet Christmas Carol. I classic. The best.
Joe's rendition of Charlie Brown Christmas...outstanding!!!!
1:58 Chevy Chase films are the best!
So glad he made such great films like that which stand the test of time!
Kind of fitting that someone named Nicholas won.
A Year Without a Santa Claus was my favorite.
I love hallmark movies

Sharon and Jayse dressed in a way that would be perfect for a Christmas film, great-looking section!
Sofia and Angel were so chaotic 😂😂
I need 'Space Jesus Rides Again' in theaters this Christmas! 🤣
Disappointed that they didn't get year with out Santa Claus on the first try
"They all look uncomfortable!" Angel didn't lie 🤣
The first home alone came out in 1990. Home alone 2 was released in 1992*
That ending though 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Oh I would loooove to see "The Godfather: Christmas Edition" 🤩
I knew the answers to Round 5 Hallmark Movies! I have watched the movies several times.
Home Alone 2 did NOT come out in 1990, it came out in 1992. The first Home Alone came out in 1990.
4:28 I remember the gift shops in the film Home Alone 2 (1992), they are so beautiful!
Lol, "A Christmas Story"....my official "it's Christmas" movie!💜🖤💜
It's playing in theaters tomorrow the 10th and Wednesday the 13th for it's 40th anniversary!

Will you do a 90s christmas commercial food or something to do with 90s Christmas commercials? Please? Love the nostalgia I feel from watching these
A+ video!
LOVE IT! So many great Christmas films!
Krispy kreme has Elf-themed doughmuts!
Joe is literally the best thing to ever happen to the REACT channel and I'M SO HERE FOR ITTTTT! This is your calling, Joe!
0:35 "Ohhhh fuuudge!"
It's a favorite of my family's. The year we started dating, I watched it with my boyfriend. He laughed once. To be fair, he has an odd sense of humor no one seems to understand.
The movie he's laughed at the most in the past 8 years is Jojo Rabbit.

Not sure why you showed a clip from The Santa Clause (1994) when the answer was The Santa Clause 2 (2002).
15:39 There is an unusual story in Gremlins (1984) about her father dressing up like Santa and dying after getting stuck in the chimney.
Fun Fact, The Muppets Christmas Carol follows the book the closer than the other versions.
This was a great episode, Laughs all around.
Happy Holidays.
You should do an xmas challenge next, something to do with decorations
Rudolph is a classic and there’s nothing creepy about it. Fight me.
Such a Fun Christmas Episode!! You guys have really cranked up the laughs lately. Thank You to All the React family. Can't Wait to see What's Next!
9:02 In reference to Scrooged (1988), I created a unique version of the character Tiny Tim for the Christmas program at The Waterford, an assisted living facility I worked at as a Nurse's Assistant (CNA).
That Tiny Tim is a rag-tag depression-era character who turned the worst of situations into a corny catchphrase or story.
If I would, I would love to be paired with Nick in a video lol I have a good memory, so anything like songs, movies, tv shows, I got you lol
Die hard is the ultimate Christmas movie PERIOD! it cannot be Christmas until a Hans Gruber falls from the Nakatomi Tower
I agree.
They showed clips from Santa Clause after they said it was Santa Claus 2
Joe singing at the end got me 😂
15:38 The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) is an unique mix of Halloween and Christmas themes.
At least in this area, Halloween and Christmas are the two biggest holidays of the year!
😊 what area do u live in

Where's 'Santa Claus conquers the martians'?
That was like my childhood! And it seems like something joe WOULD like.
i love sharon and jayse together🖤🖤
A Christmas Story is a must watch every year for me
18:33 - very pleasantly surprised they both knew that 👍😎
Godfather the Christmas edition is something i didnt think id ever hear, but something that i wish was real.
Shouldn't they use the first Home Alone?
Home Alone 2 was released in 1992.
I would love to do a react or try not to with Nicholas, his laugh and always so fun.
I lived a couple miles from the actual "A Christmas Story " house in Cleveland
Home Alone 2 was 1992, I had to check because I couldn't believe Home Alone 1 was in the 80's lol
The original was in 1990 I think they got it mixed up
9:26
Rudolph (🦌) : *wheezing* BRO, COME ON!
Jack (💀) : *coughing with laughter* I'M CRYING, THESE GUYS ARE IDIOTS!
9:29 Secret Galaxy has a video about the history of Rankin Bass, the iconic animation studio that makes those films.
A Muppets Christmas Carol is the best version Michael Cane went so Hard at the scrooge role. Edward's scissor hands is still an amazing movie to this day. Santa clause 2 sucks hate the whole evil robot Santa thing they did in that one now Jack Frost in 3rd one is awesome
Sharon get busy writing Space Jesus Rides Again...I would watch it.
Home Alone 2 came out in 1992
That is correct. I remember getting the VHS release early in 1993.
I came here to say the same thing too, Cuz the first Home Alone came out in 1990.
11:10 excellent reference!

What about the movie “grandma got ran over by a reindeer” I remember watching that on Cartoon Network when I was little 😂
October 31st, 2000
home alone 2 came out in 1992 not 1990. home alone 1 came out in 1990
