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 all the way!

Another vote for National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

The Patrick Stewart version of A Christmas Carol - utterly classic.

Yes! My absolute favourite adaptation but no-one I know seems to have ever heard of it Confused I get, "Oh the one with Jim Carrey?" Hell no!

f00k · 08/11/2019 13:39

It's has to be Home Alone. Absolute classic. However we all loved The Christmas Chronicles on Netflix last year. It may well become a family classic for us.

Pilot12 · 08/11/2019 13:31

Home Alone 1 and 2

Chickenlitter · 08/11/2019 13:21

Muppets Christmas Carol

Hydrogenbeatsoxygen · 08/11/2019 13:21

Miracle on 34th Street, with Richard Attenborough.

thefamousfiveplusone · 08/11/2019 13:04

Santa Claus the Movie was a firm childhood favourite.

Elf has now become a family favourite of ours. Although Daddy's Home 2 is a close second!!! Perhaps not your traditional classic but hilariously funny.

Oh and Home Alone will always have a place in my heart.

loverofchristmas · 08/11/2019 12:37

Definitely Elf for me!

ImportantWater · 08/11/2019 12:19

Does The Snowman count? If so then definitely The Snowman.
Otherwise, Santa Claus the Movie.

iklboo · 08/11/2019 12:17

Agree with Arthur Christmas. DS(14) still giggles when we watch it.

BreastOfIntentions · 08/11/2019 11:19

Jingle All the Way is a favourite here!

Asuwere · 08/11/2019 09:31

Has to be Elf Xmas Grin

starlight36 · 08/11/2019 09:30

Arthur Christmas - charming and works well with younger children

My guilty pleasure is Elf - I'm holding off showing it to the kids for now as don't want to introduce the concept of 'non-belief'

Gazelda · 08/11/2019 09:19

Home Alone

And Love Actually

And the one set in a school with whatsisnAme Freeman. Not Morgan.

jitterbugintomybrain · 08/11/2019 08:40

Elf

FrankenCat · 08/11/2019 08:35

Muppets Christmas Carol.

Fishcakey · 08/11/2019 06:50

Arthur Christmas.

SnorkMaiden81 · 08/11/2019 06:24

The Grinch. I know Every.Single.Word.

Bowednotbroken · 08/11/2019 06:18

The Patrick Stewart version of A Christmas Carol - utterly classic. Closely followed by The Snowman / Father Christmas animations. And the Muppets.

Xmasfairy86 · 08/11/2019 06:11

Home Alone takes top spot

Very closely followed by The Grinch, Elf, The Holiday, and Christmas with the Kranks!!

marmiteloversunite · 08/11/2019 05:47

I LOVE Christmas films.
This is like asking me which is my favourite child?!

Elf
Home Alone
Muppets Christmas Carol

Mmmm, Elf I think, "You cotton headed ninny muggins!"
