For me, it's jingle all the way. It's got everything. A drunk reindeer. A terrorist mailman. Arnold punching a deer. Arnold punching Sinbad. Arnold punching Santa. Arnold in general.

Edit: sure are a lot of die hard fans of Die Hard.

It's my pick too. I've never seen another rendition I liked any better and it's actually pretty loyal to the book. Caine's Scrooge is actually very sympathetic and his character growth is really satisfying. It's funny and wholesome and nicely grounded in what the holiday means to me personally. I'm an atheist but I love Christmas because of the reminder to share our appreciation and gratitude to the ones we love, and come together to share our good fortune or commiserate over bad. Plus the songs are so catchy.
