Need Sermon Series Title for Christmas

Our pastor is considering a Christmas Sermon series based on various movies (A Charlie Brown Christmas, A Christmas Story, The Christmas Carol, It's a Wonderful Life, etc.) and wants a catchy title to hook the series together. Preferably something other than "Christmas in Film" which is what he suggested. I know it's a long way off (NOT!), but you guys are the most creative that I know and I could use your help.

This hasn't perked very long, but just trying to get the ideas rolling.

Christmas on the big screen.
Christmas traditions in celluloid.
Christmas around the VCR (have a fireplace fire on a television for the series graphic)
The Sights of Christmas
Hollywood vs. Christmas

Nothing here I really like. Hopefully it will start some creative juices flowing.

I have a savant memory when it comes to things I've seen in the MXC and who produced them.

We knew you must be good for something, since Tim seems to keep letting you in the door.

All part of being helpful, I guess.

But please do forget about Surviving Christmas. That's one that can't be redeemed.

I just laughed so hard I fell out of my chair, LITERALLY. Our YM just came in and I told him what I was reading. He suggested using "industry" words referring to movie making. I told him it was based on finished movies, not ones that were made up or in production, which he says is called "canned" movies or movies that are "in the can."

Please don't use as your title, "Christmas in the Can."
