THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – A HOBO'S CHRISTMAS (1987)

 

Old hobo, Chance Grovner (Barnard Hughes) has spent 25 years of his life on the railroads and riding the rails is the only thing he has known since he walked out on his family.

His only contact with his son Charlie (Gerald McRaney) over the years was the postcards he would send, but his desertion caused a bitter rift with Charlie, who wants nothing to do with his father.

But with Christmas just around the corner Chance arrives in Salt Lake City to surprise his son and wants nothing more than to spend one day with him and his grandchildren Kathy and Bobby (Jamie Sorrentini and Harley Cross) who he has never met.

Charlie is reluctant as he still resents the fact that his father ran out on his family 25 years earlier, but his girlfriend Laurie (Wendy Crewson) persuades him that there is no better time than Christmas to try and heal the wounds left by the past, Charlie is not entirely convinced but gives his father one day with his grandkids, after that, he's expected to leave and never come back.
