Movies that feel likeJingle All the Way (1996)

Howard Langston, a salesman for a mattress company, is constantly kept busy at his job, disappointing his son. After he misses his son's karate exposition, Howard vows to make it up to him by buying an action figure of his son's favorite television hero for Christmas. Unfortunately for Howard, it is Christmas Eve, and every store is sold out of Turbo Man. Now, Howard must travel all over town and compete with everybody else to find a Turbo Man action figure.

If you loved Jingle All the Way, the closest films we have are Stuart Little 2 (2002), Sky High (2005) and The Muppet Movie (1979). All three share Jingle All the Way's warm and cozy feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
