When it comes to Christmas movies that you must see every holiday season, Tim Allen’s Christmas movies are, without a doubt, at the top of the list.
Tim Allen is an actor and comedian from the United States. On ABC’s Home Improvement, he played Tim “The Toolman” Taylor, and on ABC/Last Fox’s Man Standing, he played Mike Baxter.
Furthermore, Tim Allen is an annual feature of the holiday movie season for moviegoers.
Additionally, Christmas with the Kranks (based on John Grisham’s Skipping Christmas) brought a refreshing holiday fun to the 2000s, while The Santa Clause is a favorite for children of the 1990s.
Which of these Tim Allen’s Christmas movies is his best?
1. The Santa Clause (1994)
The Santa Clause follows the story of a divorce from Scott Calvin.
Scott was disgusted to find that his ex-girlfriend and her husband had tried—and failed—to convince their 6-year-old son Charlie that Santa Claus wasn’t real.
In addition, Scott reads The Night Before Christmas on Christmas Eve and then has an unexpected guest on his roof.
However, after being startled by Scott’s call and falling, the Santa imposter leaves. Only an eight-reindeer sleigh and a suit with instructions to put it on if he has an accident remain.
Additionally, Scott does, and he’s whisked throughout town, dropping gifts down chimneys until he’s whisked away to the North Pole and informed by a troop of elves that he’s now Santa Claus. Charlie is ecstatic about his father’s new job.
However, he suddenly accumulates weight, even because of his sudden love of junk food. Until his hair goes white, his beard refuses to stay shaven, and he acquires significance inexplicably.
Now that he’s embraced it, the only challenge is keeping it hidden from his family’s skepticism.
Starring Tim Allen, Wendy Crewson, Judge Reinhold, Eric Lioyd, David Krumholtz.
2. Christmas With The Kranks (2004)
Christmas with the Kranks is one of the best Tim Allen Christmas movies.
Strange as it may sound, Luther and Nora Krank, the neighborhood’s award-winning pair for their happy Christmas attitude, have opted to forego this year’s customary festivities as their daughter, Blair, goes for Peru after joining the Peace Corps.
Rather than spending the staggering sum of $6,000 on the holiday season, as they did the year before, they have resolved to spend the money on a sun-drenched—ten-day Caribbean cruise, much to the chagrin of their friends and neighbors.
However, it is easier said than done, and Luther and Nora, who have abandoned Christmas, will soon suffer the repercussions.
As if that weren’t enough, Blair and her new fiancé announce their impending return, utterly oblivious that the empty family nest is far from prepared.
Can the Kranks “create” Christmas from nothing in less than a few hours? Starring Tim Allen, Dan Aykroyd, Jamie Lee Curtis, Elizabeth Franz, and M. Emmet Walsh.
3. El Camino Christmas (2017)

Additionally, the story is set in the fictional town of El Camino, Nevada, and Stars Tim Allen, Luke Grimes, Dax Shepherd, and Vincent D’Onofrio.
4. Toy Story: That Time Forgot (2014)
