Christmas films for kids.

We have regular film nights with the DC. They are 7.

So far winners have been

Flight of the Navigator
Short Circuit
D.A.R.Y.L
Ghostbusters
Ghostbusters 2
The Goonies
Indiana Jones
Back to the Future
Elf
All the Free Willy films

As you can see we tend to go with older films because, well they seem better tbh.

We're a bit stumped as to what next though.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Big is on our list already.

We watched arthur Christmas this morning (currently on offer for free in skystore) we really enjoyed it! Elf is on tomorrow but I think I enjoy that more than the kids

I saw Arthur Christmas last night with my 7yo - we both loved it.

Recent hits here have been Nativity and Home Alone.

Muppets Christmas Carol

Our 7 year old likes The Grinch (the most recent animated one), Home Alone, Nativity (and Danger in the Manger, but Dude Where's my Donkey isn't great) Arthur Christmas and The Polar Express is a strong favourite. We also do a double bill of The Snowman and The Snowman and Snowdog (but he has loved those since his second Christmas, so it's a tradition!)

Home alone

The Christmas chronicles on Netflix really is very good!

They also liked Jumanji, both the old and the new. I'm remembering all the films they like. We have film night most Friday nights, so there's been a few!
