As usual with @puff_not_snuff threads, the premise of the OP is difficult to interpret.

I'm assuming it means movies that at least have some element of Christmas in the story but not strictly a "Christmas movie". Given that as the criteria, the choice without question is Eyes Wide Shut.
I think he does that on purpose to see how we react.

Apparently, the 1948 film, An Act of Murder, starting Fredric March, used the Courthouse Square set that was used in Gremlins and Back to the Future. I’ve never seen it, but, am curious now. Thanks for this interesting tidbit of trivia.

I was the same. Did t know it was built for a 1948 film. I thought it was built for Gremlins as well.
