Nostalgia has been the driving force behind the Christmas charts ever since, as perennial favourites like Fairytale Of New York and Jingle Bell Rock soundtrack the holidays.

“Jingle Bell Run” airs on the Hallmark Channel Dec. 20, 25 and Jan. 4.

In contrast, the weakest arguments against awarding jingle bell designations to “Die Hard,” “Lethal Weapon,” “The Long Kiss Goodnight,” “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” hold to the Hallmark definition of what holiday movies are supposed to be.

The first time I spoke to him in 2017, I was a student in journalism college, covering Capital Radio’s Jingle Bell Ball.

You either have seen the movie or lived long enough to hear its jokes, use its gifs or recognize its most iconic talent show routine, the tantalizing "Jingle Bell Rock" number.
