Edmund Gwenn as Kris Kringle

Other actors have looked more fully stereotypically Santa-like, with huge longer white beard, more heavy-set build, etc., though for me Edmund Gwenn's thoroughly delightful, endearing Kris Kringle in this movie will always easily be my favourite - and the ultimate - portrayal of the Kris Kringle, a.k.a. Santa / St. Nick, character. He's so perfect in the role that you can just imagine Mr. Gwenn being the exact same person and personality in his actual life!

I like him too but I also like Richard Attenborough's Santa.

Here's another great classic holiday song treasure to add to those:
And, for something a bit more recent, that's likewise gorgeous, there's this.
