Christmas Spaghetti Westerns?

Does anyone have any good recs for Christmas Spaghetti Westerns? I’ve seen A Pistol for Ringo but I wasn’t sure if there were any others.

Not sure if there are any other true Christmas spags than Pistol For Ringo, but here is a Eurowestern:

Also, a list of SW’s that involve cold weather:

‘The Legend of Frenchie King’ aka, ‘Les Petroleuses’ (1971) is set at Christmas, or at least the beginning of the film - and has Christmas carols sung by Claudia Cardinale and her character’s brothers.

Also: “Shoot the Living and Pray For the Dead” has a scene where a woman sings “Jingle Bells”. Something to hang your hat on for inserting it into the holiday season.

There’s this eurowestern Christmas Kid but apart from the name I don’t remember if there was a much connection.

In the opening of Vivi preferibilmente, morti (Alive or PreferablyDead) the film opens with a Christmas song. A Taste of Death – 1968 with John Ireland is filmed in the snow. Also Troublemakers (aka the Fight Before Christmas) is another.

Let’s be honest, is there any action film (maybe ‘Die Hard’) that will ever beat the beat the supremely seasonal SW ‘A Pistol For Ringo’ as the best Christmas action film ever.?

Featuring Giuliano Gemma, the gorgeous, angelic, and adorable Lorella de Luca :heart:, Fernando Sancho, and George Martin…?

Ah thank ye. I’m a heathen so I sort of consider honorary Eurowesterns Spaghetti Westerns so I’ll look into it!

Thanks, looks like a good option!

Thanks! I quite like Shoot the Living Pray for the Dead though I gotta admit I forgot about the Jingle Bells part.

Thank ye! Might be worth checking out since two people mentioned it.

Thanks! A snowy western might be the best option.

Hah! Well I don’t think there’s any Christmas Western that can top it at least. Believe me, I’ve looked.
