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?

Elf is very popular here
Or the Grinch or Muppet's Christmas carol

Arthur Christmas!

Bear - is that the name? The one that Charlotte church sang on. I had it when ds was little and it was lovely. St Nicholas was nice too.

spongedog · 09/11/2019 10:15

Home alone.

The Polar Express - a modern classic.

HowlsMovingBungalow · 09/11/2019 09:32

Box of Delights.

DS hates the muppets (and the Moomins). I’m not actually 100% certain that we are biologically related...

Squigean · 09/11/2019 09:23

The Muppets' Christmas Carol.

No debate. Anyone saying anything else is wrong. It's not even my opinion, it's fact. Grin

greenflamingo · 09/11/2019 09:18

Home Alone.

WilmaJean · 09/11/2019 07:35

Miracle on 34th Street

BillywilliamV · 09/11/2019 06:53

Meet me in St Louis!

Metheven · 09/11/2019 05:01

White Christmas - singing, dancing, snow and a happy ending. What more could anyone want?

MrGsFancyNewVagina · 09/11/2019 01:36

It has always been ‘It’s a Wonderful Life.’ My dear husband bought me the dvd of it the Christmas before he died, because he knew how special it was to me.

PurpleGoose · 09/11/2019 01:08

The Snowman and Love Actually.

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 08/11/2019 23:27

Yay -a raffle where I am now eligible to take part (was not in the UK previously).
My favourite Christmas movie is...The Family Stone. Luke Wilson is lovely in it.

SirVixofVixHall · 08/11/2019 23:05

It’s a Wonderful Life . Obvs.

Teaformeplease · 08/11/2019 22:51

So many to choose from...
Miracle on 34th Street
White Christmas
Christmas Chronicles
It's a Wonderful Life
The Santa Clause
Arthur Christmas

Fleetheart · 08/11/2019 22:26

A Christmas Carol. The Alastair Sims version. Just love it.

PickledChicory · 08/11/2019 22:03

Home Alone , cant wait till the dc are old enough to watch it. Also the Snowman and the Snowdog

Hepzibar · 08/11/2019 20:19

Oh come on now, it has to be White Christmas. Closely followed by Its a Wonderful Life

Adollop · 08/11/2019 20:17

Elf is our favourite Christmas film.

Sleepycat91 · 08/11/2019 20:12

I do like polar express!

HumberHellraiser · 08/11/2019 20:04

A Christmas Carol
The black and white version with Alistair Sim as Scrooge. Just the right mix of scary and festive! Annual Xmas eve tradition for us.

Or I still love The Box of Delights, the series from the ‘80’s on You Tube with the Old Punch and Judy man. Again, just a little bit scary but magical.

Natsku · 08/11/2019 19:52

It's not Christmas without The Snowman, although I suppose it's not really a film.

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 08/11/2019 17:25

Wonderful life obviously.
Scrooged.
Babettes Feast (not strictly Christmas, but it has all the elements)
Nightmare before Christmas
I hate, loathe and despise the weird animation of Polar Express and Jim Carrey version of Christmas Carol

JE17 · 08/11/2019 17:13

It's A Wonderful Life gets my vote. I watched it at home when my contractions started with my Christmas baby. Come to think of it, it was the last time I got to watch the tele in peace in the last 10 years 🙂.
