Fun fact about that movie: When it was made, it was pretty much universally panned and disliked. So much so, in fact, that the movie studio let the copyright lapse, making it "Public Domain." Once it became free to air, TV stations started playing it around the holidays because it was free to show. And because it was free, everyone aired and every year, so it became the holiday tradition it is today...
