Anna and the Apocalypse (2017)
Less than the sum of its parts, but this exact combination of parts is at least pretty unique: this is a *takes breath* Christmas zombie teen drama musical comedy.

I have not done a thorough search, but Bah, Humduck appears to be the first Christmas Carol adaptation in Looney Tunes history.
A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)
A Charlie Brown Christmas is a miracle.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1966)
How the Grinch Stole Christmas is one of three films that I consider a must-watch every December.

A Flintstones Christmas Carol (1994)

Mickey’s Christmas Carol (1983)

The Blair Witch Project (1999)
I’ve now see Blair Witch Project four times, which puts it in pretty elite territory.
