Purely for fun and no profit, this year I made up a list of 50 holiday-related TV movies that (with a few exceptions) have never been produced — I hope.

I re-present them here, my own post-Christmas “gift” to readers, for your edification and encouragement — because these don’t exist. (Except for Barbie Nutcracker, which is in fact a real movie. And, as I found out the day after Christmas, so is Barbie Christmas Carol.)
