The Christmas List (1997)

Movie Summary

Perfume saleslady Melody Parris feels like her life is in neutral. Her stick-in-the mud boyfriend won’t commit, and she gets passed over for a promotion at the store where she works. She decides to make a Christmas list. After it’s deposited in Santa’s mailbox at the store, she starts getting everything she wanted, but it doesn’t always turn out as she expected.

The Christmas List was originally released on The Family Channel (now Freeform) December 1, 1997.

    Its a shame you stopped showing this movie. It was an annual tradition for me. I watched it no matter what time it was aired and would even take a day off work to watch it! Please play at least once a year..pretty please.

    I really love this move. My Mother and I always watched this movie every year since 1997.
    Now my Mother has been gone for six years, and I miss this move as much as I miss her.

    I wish they would show this movie again.

    If it can be posted on the internet for streaming, it could be released on DVD. The ones you can buy on eBay and elsewhere are illegal bootleg copies with poor quality video, and may not have the deleted scenes restored. The only way to get a good copy of the entire original is for the owner of the rights to release it. I too have begged in emails for years for this movie to be shown again. Since Disney owns ABC Family, they can certainly show it if they choose.

    Who oh why do you not show this movie every year? I’m so sick.of seeing the same Christmas movies 5 times in one week and 50 times in a month. If you don’t want to show it, at least put it on DVD so we can buy it and watch it!

      Erica,

      Walt Disney owns the rights to the Christmas List that’s why they don’t air it on T.V. Anymore. You can buy this movie its a Transfer from the Family Channel from DVD.BIZ.. For about $13.00

    I would like to report I just received my copy of the Christmas List from RAREDVDS.BIZ And even though it was a transfer from the Family Channel. it’s a Great Copy!! EBAY Maybe selling it but it comes from the United Kingdom. and the cost is nearly $30.00 I paid a little over $13.00 and its shipped from California. I ordered it on 11/26/15. and received it on 12/1/15. This is the way to go if you really want this movie. you wont find it on T.V. Or in the stores. Since Walt Disney owns the rights to it.. it arrived in a sleeve. and there are no commercials. even though it was transferred from the family channel.. I give this 5 Stars. I am very PLEASED with my PURCHASE..

    Just like many of you out there I adore the Christmas list. I had it recorded on my DVR. But erased it thinking I could find this movie on DVD. How disappointed I was when I found out its nearly impossible!! I wasn’t giving up. the closest I came to was RareDVDS.Biz it’s a transfer of the movie. They do have a clip and it was pretty clear. I will post again after receiving it and let you know how it goes.. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

        Kim and Erica,
        It is not a legal copy for sale on eBay, it is pirated off air, recorded and then sold. Why are you promoting the illegal sale? The quality will be poor! We are trying to get a LEGAL, CRISP, CLEAN copy of the movie with all the scenes intact! Don’t promote the illegal sale of pirated merchandise.

          I understand your point, but….life is short and I have no intention of growing too old to remember how to work a DVD player before I get to watch it again. Please don’t judge 🙂
