Best Answer

No.

The two are both Christmas classics, but with different story lines.

The message the movie Scrooge (A Christmas Carol) conveys is: Keep Christmas in your heart all throughout the year.

It's a Wonderful Life, on the other hand, conveys the message that: Every life affects another therefore should not be taken for granted.

It just so happens that the atmosphere portrayed in both movies centers around the Christmas holidays.
