In no particular order:

A Christmas Story (1983)
Die Hard (1988) (Yes, this is a Christmas movie)
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989)
Home Alone (1990) & Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992) (Excluded the other sequels)
The Santa Clause (1994) (Sequels were a letdown)

Some other honorable mentions:

Trading Places (1983)
Gremlins (1984) (This is also a Christmas movie)
Lethal Weapon (1987) (Again, takes place during the holiday season)
The Ref (1994)
Jingle All the Way (1996)
Love Actually (2003)
Bad Santa (2003) (Haven't seen Bad Santa 2 (2016) as of yet)

And, of course, Elf (2003).

hard to say, i'll just throw in five that comes to mind, "the troublemakers", "christmas flintstone", "ebenezer", "christmas vacation", "it's a wonderful life". after expecting this to be a bad santa sort of movie with a sarcastic leading role i was really surprised it seemed strictly a children's movie, and i had no idea the end credits featured a tune from ray charles christmas album, i know they used the title track in "christmas vacation", it's so weird how rare that album has become considering it's quality and these references, remarkable how packed this flick is with recognisable actors in about every little role, and i found out apparently ed asner starred in two christmas movies in the same year as i always knew him from "christmas vacation 2: cousin eddie's island adventure", with a bit more suiting for a mature audience if it weren't that bad, i keep coming across threads about mary steenburgen's voice in movies she stars in, similar to anne hedgeworth and former cnn newsreader natalie allen (makes my head spin they replaced her with a dude), i always thought steenburgen would suit great in radio dramas, this movie includes one of those product placements as little hiding as possibly, big shot of it right at the camera from one angle to another.

holiday honey stays around,
on high days never lets me down,
you sparkle and the outfits you put on,
reveals your amazing forms you usually keep closed,
turns christmas tree twigs,
into wool where my head heaven drift,
as wondrously she holds my soul,
and brings my spirit home.
