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?

Lazy- yes, Love Actually is up there. You'd need to have believed in Tony Blair to 'get it'. But it's a great Xmas movie!

Miljea · 12/11/2019 23:25

And, of course, Sound of Music. Despite my penchant for pogrom-noir (Fiddler on the Roof); escaping the Nazis is also there. I mean... Edelweiss? 😥

Miljea · 12/11/2019 23:23

Loads, but Fiddler on the Roof for me. Love a bit of a pogrom to set the Christmas mood ☹️😊

But, Home Alone 'Oh Holy Night', in the church scene. Wow.

The 'The Snowman'. Not a movie, I know.

MonaChopsis · 12/11/2019 22:47

We both love Elf to distraction, and occasionally even watch it for a midsummer Xmas injection!

Soozikinzii · 12/11/2019 22:15

Polar express

Miracle on 34th street - either new or old version

TheGirlWhoLived · 12/11/2019 20:42

Absolute favourite is miracle on 34th street. TheGirlWhoLived believes

LazyFace · 12/11/2019 20:32

Even if it won't make it into the top 10:

Love Actually

BiBiBirdie · 12/11/2019 19:48

Scrooged
I absolutely love that film. It's cheesy eighties glitz and OTT at its best, and Bill Murray is just exceptionally good.
Everything stops for Scrooged in our house

Notthebradybunch · 12/11/2019 19:31

Elf!

vinoandbrie · 12/11/2019 18:29

Home Alone, I watch it with my elder DD every year in the run up 😊

The Snowman. Just love it. Feels like Christmas

Elf

AvengingGerbil · 12/11/2019 16:08

Madagascar Penguins Christmas Caper; closely followed by Merry Madagascar.
Family tradition, even if the offspring is now an adult.

SouthWestmom · 12/11/2019 13:26

Elf. Every single year someone suggests they watch it Christmas Eve and they all get excited and watch it while still getting angry about the dad 😂

Love Actually

Hev33 · 12/11/2019 08:18

My kids and I absolutely love Elf ❄☃

CrazyBaubles · 12/11/2019 06:36

The Muppets Christmas Carol for me - partly because of the songs and partly for the nostalgic happy feeling it gives me. I've watched it every year since I was about 8 (am mid 30s now) Xmas Smile

donttellmetwice · 12/11/2019 06:28

We watch Polar Express every Christmas eve, its tradition 🎄

Robin2323 · 12/11/2019 05:58

The love actually
It's a wonderful life
