Hey, John!

These are pretty good!

For next year’s batch, may I suggest:

The Hunt for Red Poinsettias (Clancy)
To Have and Have No Presents (Hemingway)
The Christmas Tree Stand (King)
From Santa with Love (Fleming)
Little Elfs (Alcott)
A Christmas Tree Grows in Brooklyn (Smith)

    I would have written “Little Elves” instead of “Little Elfs,” but then that would be treading into Tolkien.
    
    Glad you liked my Christmas-themed variants on famous novels. Your cartoon inspired me!

Without the authors attributions (could be Fred Hemingway), and your scintillating IP, these sound more like working titles for screenplays to rival ‘Die Hard’ as kick-ass Christmas movies! Is that your hidden Christmas message?
For Whom the Bells Jingle, they jingle for thee. Thriller with serial killer overtones. Start with a voiceover reading, “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”.
War and Peace on Earth, Sci-fi battle for earth
Frank incensed! Eco-activist on a mission
But ‘On the Roof’ definitely feels like a musical with a Motown flavour.

  Some incredible elevator pitches here. Already working on some of the songs for ‘On the Roof’. Gotta go, must get back to watching my Bruce Willis Christmas movie collection. All none of them.

    Was thinking as more of a Father-Son Bond-o experience. Happy flirty baking!
