Home Alone.
I know it's a well known film but its not really associated with Christmas!
It has such a feel good Christmassy ending! We watch it every year.

Its amazing and I won't hear a word said against it.

Home Alone is a Christmas film, surely?? Confused Grin

A Christmas Story - watched it as a child, I loved it. Haven't watched it since.

Jingle All The Way Grin.

Vastly underrated in my humble opinion. I also love Muppets Christmas Carol and Christmas With The Kranks.

Bad Santa, but NOT to watch with the DCs. Arthur Christmas is a good family one tho.

The 1966 animated How the Grinch Stole Christmas is one of our favourites.

'The Bishop's Wife' is lovely. Do not be tempted by dodgy remake 'The Preacher's Wife': even Denzel Washington as Dudley couldn't save it....

How about trading places?

The 80's knew how to do a good Xmas film Smile

Mrs Christmas with Angela Landsbury - Great for feminists and a good storyline.
Very cheap can pick up for a few quid, got ours from Morrisons.

Muppet xmas carol - still the best imo

Greatest Store in the World - it was on TV about ten years ago. A homeless family move into a dept store over Christmas.
