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.
Is it available to purchase or rent?

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.

I love this movie. They need to bring it back for Christmas! I wish I could purchase this on DVD.
They have 5
You can watch it on YouTube and this is the version people are putting on DVD and selling. Not great quality but watchable.

since Disney now owns the rights to this movie, it is time or them to make money off the dvd, by selling them. everyone is asking for this movie to made into a dvd. the dvd needs to have closed caption on it.
I really wish they would put this movie on t.v. at Christmas time. I love to watch it. It is a feel good movie.
I love The Christmas List and look for it every year. They need to bring it back to TV and sell the DVD.
I literally love this movie! My favorite part is the creme brulee scene! I look for it every year but to no avail and miss it terribly. I was also tricked by Hallmark when they used the movie title for one of their new movies. Please bring this movie back to TV or put it out on DVD! I will purchase!
I want to see “The Christmas List (1997)” movie in full so badly. It is one of my to fav xmas movies of all time. What I really wish for is to have it on DVD.
Everyone who wants to see Mimi Rogers “The Christmas List”, go to Freeform’s 25 Days of Christmas webpage and scroll down to “contact” and send them a comment saying YOU WANT TO SEE IT! It’s too late for this year, but if we ALL tell them to bring it back, maybe they will air it next year.
Please air “Christmas List” with Mimi Rogers! My daughters loved it, and we’ve been looking for it ever since it first came out!!!
Many people would love to see this Christmas gem again. What is the problem?
Its a made for tv, it shld be free on tv. Its bullshit that its not
I did this for five years in a row, it didn’t do any good. I called them on the phone, got in touch with someone in the marketing dept, and they said it wasn’t even on their radar as a possibility. I posted it on my blog in 2015 – https://frommycarolinahome.com/2015/11/14/help-me-bring-back-a-favorite-and-enjoy-some-creme-brulee/ – and readers bombarded the survey, all to no avail. They aren’t listening, they don’t care.
What would it take to convince the company that owns The Christmas List to air it. This is a wonderful movie and I looked forward to it each year.
The Christmas List is a wonderful Christmas movie with Mimi Rogers, however, you continue to not air it.
So many love it.
Please air it this Christmas!
I agree!
Please show this one during the Christmas season. One of my favorites!!
This is my favorite Christmas movie!! Please release it on your network and/or DVD.
I found it on DVD in EBAY.
The Ebay DVD is a bootleg pirated copy of a recording off Family channel. It doesn’t have the deleted scenes, the quality is poor.
WHERE CAN WE GET IT ACROSS TO THE POWERS THAT HOLD ON TO THIS – THAT IS WAS AND IS A GREAT MOVIE.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE – RELEASE IT AGAIN AND SHOW IT!!!!
or tell us – if you can – who is keeping it from being run again!!!!!!!!!!?????
Pat
Hi Pat, so many others agree with you! As far as we know, ABC/Disney (the movie originally aired on The Family Channel – later ABC Family, now known as Freeform) still owns exclusive rights to air it. They simply choose not to. We updated the YouTube link above to show the full movie.
This link is not the full uncut movie. The original was so much better without all of the cuts taking it down to 1 hour and 26 minutes. I would pay anything to have that version myself!
The youtube video was removed by youtube due to it being a pirated copy off the air.
It would seem that whomever owns the rites to this movie would see the many replies to the fact that we want to see this movie again. It is one of the nicest Christmas movies that was made for TV and I urge the powers that be to show this movie again this season, 2017. I am 75 yrs. old and I just yearn for the Xmas movies to come on at this time of year. I am in a wheelchair and have many abnormalities and would hope and pray that these comments fall on the ears that matter in TV land. Please show this movie this year. Thank you.
