Hi folks,

Yule never guess what... it's 48 days until Christmas!

We know what you're thinking... it's a bit early for turkey and Santa talk. Tbf, you're right, but we need your help!

At MNHQ, we are dying to know what Christmas films roast your chestnuts.

All you need to do is post your favourite family Christmas film on this thread. We'll track the answers and reveal the results with a Mnetters top ten video!

But wait—there’s myrrh. Did we mention that every user who contributes will be automatically entered into a prize draw to win some Mumsnet goodies? No? Well, everyone that contributes will be entered - and we'll be picking one lucky winner. So what are you waiting for?

Thanks for your votes! It was very tight at the top (it also sparked a lot of debate in the office.)

This thread should now have the video attached, where we count down the top five. Enjoy!

App users you can see it here

My absolute fave has got to be ELF xx

bushtailadventures · 14/11/2019 04:01

Santa Claus The Movie, definitely!

Not really a film, but my grown up dc still love Flint Street Nativity, makes us laugh even after all this time

HerRoyalNotness · 14/11/2019 03:37

Arthur Christmas
Die Hard

allthingsred · 13/11/2019 21:32

Elf. From the youngest to oldest we all love it 😍😍

Anj123 · 13/11/2019 19:48

Elf because the whole family loves it and it’s hilarious! 😂

2stepsonthewater · 13/11/2019 18:08

Elf!
Especially the scene where he dances on the table in the post room.

CatChant · 13/11/2019 15:02

It's a Wonderful Life.

bobsyourauntie · 13/11/2019 13:30

National Lampoons Christmas Vacation
Christmas With The Kranks
Elf
Nativity 1, 2, 3
Home Alone
Home Alone 2

Baboutheocelot · 13/11/2019 09:59

Jingle all the way, at first I thought it was cheesy and generic but it’s so funny!
Home alone obviously as it’s a classic.
Elf
Nativity
And a recent find is Arthur Christmas, I’ve had to watch it about 20 times now and it’s really grown on me.

HappydaysArehere · 13/11/2019 09:55

Jingle All The Way - love it.

Dino44 · 13/11/2019 06:52

Miracle on 34th street, the colour version with the girl from Matilda

TheClitterati · 13/11/2019 06:50

I try and ban Xmas films before December but dd2 has been indulging all week.

TheClitterati · 13/11/2019 06:49

Christmas Chronicles (says dd2) & Elf (says me). Dd1 says Nightmare Before Xmas.

We all love Love Home Alone too.

WhatALump · 13/11/2019 06:44

For me it’s home alone followed by Nativity.
DH says Die Hard is the best Xmas movie ever 🧐

PocketDictionary · 13/11/2019 04:33

Rudolph & the island of misfit toys.
It's just brilliant.

foreverblessedbee · 13/11/2019 03:28

Ah Christmas films! Somewhat of a staple for us as ds2 likes to watch year-round, often wearing Santa hat mid august lol
Our faves....
Home alone - agree with pp about oh holy night in the church
Nativity- all 3, watched back to back😁!

Christmas with the KranksSmile
Basically every christmas film you could think if, they're all his faves.
But I'll go
1st- Arthur Christmas
2nd- Home Alone
3rd- Elf
You're welcome👌🏼🎅🏼🤶🏽🌲🌲🌲

Willowkins · 13/11/2019 03:21
