Beyond the most popular classic Christmas movies, like “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “White Christmas,” there are countless less-famous older movies with equally heartwarming holiday stories (not limited to Christmas) that fulfill our longing for family and our nostalgia for times gone by. “On Moonlight Bay” from 1951 and its sequel, “By the Light of the Silvery Moon” from 1953, are charming family films that feature great holiday scenes—including Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
