Wilford left a comment under the Show Off Your Smarts contest for today that said:
The very first Christmas movie was "The Night Before Christmas" released in 1906. It was a silent adaptation of the poem of the same name by Clement C. Moore .
Of course, I immediately looked that up. It’s an Edison film! IMDb Link. -Thanks, Wilford!

There's an earlier movie from 1901 called A Holiday Pageant At Home. It's on the Kino dvd A Christmas Past.
