Christmas film list

What films do you almost always watch in the run up to Christmas?

For us it's

Nightmare Before Christmas

Arthur Christmas

Polar Express (which I can happily do without to be honest...)

Elf

Adults usually fit Die Hard 1+2 in ( yes, they are Christmas films Wink

and Eight Crazy Nights

Its not a fixed household tradition as such, but we probably do most years

What am I missing...

Snowman. Can’t watch it outside of Christmas season.

Then, in no particular order:
It's a wonderful Life
The Nightmare before Christmas
Love Actually
Home Alone(s)
Polar Express
The Lampoons Christmas Vacation (I always muck the title up)
The Barbie Nutcracker - the girls love making us suffer through this
Matthew Bourne's The Nutcracker
The Santa Clause

TyneTeas · 07/11/2019 13:33

Do we need a separate thread for whether Die Hard is a Christmas film? Grin
