What did you think of it?

No, nothing like that. I saved that for my old work place when I would bring in movies that are set during Christmas but have nothing to do with it, like Die Hard, Batman Returns, Iron Man 3, etc.
Mainly the in-laws just watch Christmas Vacation over and over, so I brought over that and the Muppet Christmas Carol
I really liked it. Some of it is dated, like a couple of slurs, but overall it's a good movie. We even did it in Japanese with subtitles and we all loved it. My father-in-law even wanted the DVD for his own personal collection

Muppet Christmas Carol is probably my favorite version of the story. Home Alone is also a classic I typically watch around Christmas.
November is the month for Thanksgiving here in the US, and I always felt Harry Potter (since its marathoned on TV around then) and Fantastic Mr. Fox qualify as my Thanksgiving movies. Also anything from Bob's Burgers. Since its Bob's favorite holiday in show, they usually do a Thanksgiving episode every season (although, not always). “An Indecent Thanksgiving Proposal” and “Turkey in a Can” being my favorites, but honestly they're all pretty good.

Our friends leant us their Disney Plus login, which allows us to watch many Disney things slightly less guiltily.
I was very suspicious of Frozen 2's very existence, but it is astonishingly good. There have been a handful of animated sequels that I think have actually surpassed their predecessors, I don't think this one quite did that, but it is a pretty jaw-dropping movie.
Disney is going to be seen by children no matter what I do or say. However meek their attempts to seem woke may be, as far as I'm concerned they're still going to make a difference.

Lost In Translation
A beautiful film.
