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.
The Christmas List is one of the most requested movies each season, however it has not aired on TV since 2012. As far as we know, Disney/Buena Vista owns the rights to this movie. We encourage everyone to contact them directly. Perhaps if enough of us do, they will consider releasing it on DVD or at least airing it on one of their many networks or at least on Disney+.

Thank you very much for your support (and for tolerating the ads) - I appreciate it!
Really hate when they use a title from a movie for a current movie. I was so excited to see it and it was a wrong movie! I looked it up on YouTube but they don’t play it now for some reason. You have to find some other site. As Tom Selleck said in Three men and a little Lady…what a crock!
This movie was and is very popular. I don’t know why some corporations think change for the sake of change and seemingly easy quick profits are always a good thing. We watched a little of the new Christmas List that Hallmark put out and it stinks by comparison. The original ranks up there with silver bells as one of their best. Why fix something when its not broken?
Hello my thoughts exactly I am searching for Christmas list on Google. Then you was the frist person. Who talk about how they feel about this movie. Your post was 2016. Hallmark is playing Christmas movies . 10/30 /17. I really miss this movie.
Well I guess I will get out my eye patch, because if the only way I can see it is to purchase off ebay so be it. No excuse for them not putting this out on DVD or showing it on tv. Their loss
Extremely disappointed!! Advertised the wrong movie all week long and then aired a new movie with a similar name. As you can read, many loyal fans were also disappointed. Please play The Christmas List with Mimi Rogers this holiday season so we can save it with our DVR’s.
I agree. I was so very upset this week. I was so happy to see it was being aired and then to have a new movie with similar title come on. I watched the new movie anyway and it was awful.
We go through this every year, and I have been sending emails to Disney about this movie yearly for 15 years. It is not going to change their minds and they do not give a $%^& about what we think. Venting here makes me and others feel like we are giving them feedback, but no one at that company is reading these comments. This year, I give up. They DO NOT CARE, and will never release this movie on DVD. I will be very surprised if it is ever shown on TV again either.
It’s showing tonight on Hallmark channel 6:00pm eastern time
No it isn’t. It is a different movie with the same name. Read a bit further and you will see other responses to this as well.
Hallmark really screwed up. The movie called “The Christmas List” showing to night is a different movie. This is a real bait & switch. Shame on Hallmark – not up to their usual standards.
It is not on…very unhappy!!
It is not on right now..even though it has been advertised all week..I am very angry..I look forward to this movie every year….Very unhappy!!
No it’s not. I got excited and turned it on because that’s what it says should be playing, but it’s the stupid new one from this year yet again!
I saw it listed on my DISH schedule, set it to record, and was SOOOOO EXCITED to watch it last night. When I selected/started my recording it was the new Christmas List…..imagine my disappointment!!!!!! :o(
I’ve had ENOUGH of television and so called customer service, etc.
So it said, but it was the newer movie with a different plot. Broke my heart!
I fell for it too! Hallmark Channel said it was the 1997 version of The Christmas List for Nov. 30 @ 6pm and what a disappointment when they really were showing the new version. Why can’t they include the original with Mimi Rogers too????
Yes we were tricked also. Good going HALLMARK.
Such a disappointment to find that we pay so much for TV service and can’t get the ones we like and have liked for many years.
Probably not PC because it praises the LORD in song
My family loved watching this movie! Please show it in 2016!
I LOVE THIS SHOW! I am not sure when so many love it they cannot make it available. It is one of the best shows shows ever.
EBAY, people….EBay!
Sorry, but the eBay offer is for a bootleg copy recorded off the Family Channel from years ago. It is illegal to sell these, but they do it anyway. Why are you promoting this? The Disney channel should release a clean copy, with all the original scenes restored.
It was a tradition for my daughter and me to watch this as well. We look at the listings every year now to no avail. C’mon bring it back!!
Check the Hallmark Channel. From what I can tell there’s a new movie called the Christmas list but they also might be showing the old one as well on 11/30.
The new movie on Hallmark called “Christmas List” is NOT the same movie as the 1997 “The Christmas List” with Mimi Rogers.
NOT THE SAME MOVIE – AT ALL!!!!!
Nope!!!
Th ends Christmas List movies is terrible on Hallmark. Wish they would any original one.
The Christmas List, with Mimi Rogers, is airing Wed. 11/30 @6p.m. on the Hallmark Channel.
Fingers crossed this is correct. Our TV guide shows it is indeed the 1997 “The Christmas List” being aired, but Hallmark’s website shows it is “Christmas List” with Alicia Witt and Gabriel Hogan.
It is NOT the Mimi Rogers movie. Hallmark doesn’t own the rights to it, Disney does.
Not!!
Hopefully this year they will air this movie “The Christmas List”. One of many movies to watch on my must watch list of Christmas movies..
Please air The Christmas List!
Please show “the Christmas list” this year and make available on DVD. This is a family favorite!!!!!
Please show the Christmas List this year it’s a family favorite!!!
Please show The Christmas List soon, such a great season favorite!!!
I love The Christmas List, it’s one of my all time favorites. Please bring it back to your Christmas line-up1
