It's a Christmas version of Groundhog Day with a very melancholy edge to it. I'm pretty sure Groundhog Day was first.

Love Actually, yes a movie that definitely has some depth and set around Christmas time.

Home for the Holidays with Holly Hunter and Anne Bancroft is another realistic Christmas time favorite of mine that the OP may like.

Scrooge, the 1951 version with Alastair Sim. He was absolutely magnificent, and the Tiny Tim character wasn't as sappy as some of the other versions.

Yep - and if I remember correctly I watched that as an after school special. Liked it, and haven't seen it in a long, long time.
