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?

It has to be Arthur Christmas, the first ten minutes are probably my favourite ten movie minutes (even better than the Barn Raising scene in7 brides for 7 brothers, and that's saying something). Also love The Snowman and we're quite fond of Nativity 1. Hate Elf and The Polar Express though.

Trailers:

The Santa clause

MostIneptThatEverStepped · 10/11/2019 17:10

Definitely The Grinch! My 3 DC in their 20's have watched it every Xmas Eve since it came out in the cinema and can recite the whole thing.

Kraggle · 10/11/2019 12:21

Nightmare before Christmas, The Santa Clause and Elf are my favourites!

ThePurpleGirl · 10/11/2019 10:46

We love The Snowman and the Snowdog [santa]

lillypopdaisyduke · 10/11/2019 09:33

The Polar Express

CottonSock · 10/11/2019 09:17

The snowman

Or, just for me Love actually

Need to try home alone on kids this year.

lorisparkle · 10/11/2019 08:41

I really can not decide. I love Christmas films. My favourite was always miracle on 34th street but then polar express came along but then I do enjoy rise of the guardians but that is not necessarily just a Christmas film. It is just too hard to decide!!

DrDiva · 10/11/2019 08:37

Muppet Christmas Carol for us as well. And maybe Nativity.

OopsieDaisyB · 10/11/2019 08:02

Scrooged!Grin

ElizabethMainwaring · 10/11/2019 07:46

Another vote for Muppets Christmas Carol.
I love the idea of watching Life of Brian on Christmas Eve! Well done the poster who does that every year.

Yutes · 10/11/2019 00:00

Krampus. The 2015 Toni Collette one. A good reminder to be a good person but also to spend Christmas with the people you want to spend it with

BeBesideTheSea · 09/11/2019 22:59

The Muppets Christmas Carol “light the lamp not the rat”

TheSandman · 09/11/2019 22:48

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

... or

It's a Wonderful Life.

One of them.

Butterfly005 · 09/11/2019 22:36

It's a Wonderful Life

Ribeebie · 09/11/2019 21:07

We love Santa Claus the Movie. Takes me back to Christmas Eves when I was little and we still watch it every year now. It makes me feel so festive.

BroomstickOfLove · 09/11/2019 20:42

The Greatest Store in the World, only it's virtually impossible to get hold of.

Runners up are The Muppet Christmas Carol and Nativity.
