Christmas film list

[TyneTeas]

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

and Eight Crazy Nights

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

What am I missing...

Snowman and snowdog
A wonderful life
Any and all Scrooge/Christmas carol films
Love actually
Up (not sure how that tradition started)
Miracle on 34th st
And, as of last year, The Christmas chronicles on Netflix.

A Christmas Carol, 1961 version.

It's a wonderful life

Elf

Home Alone

Royal Institute Christmas Lectures after Christmas too (although they aren't films)

I don't think I have heard of a few of these films, will be doing some IMDb research later I reckon!

The Bishop's Wife
Muppet Christmas Carol
A Christmas Carol the old black and white one

I also forgot the Grinch, will be watching that again this year.

I just remembered! Jingle All the Way! Best christmas film ever in my books

Bad Santa
Elf
Scrooged
Arthur Christmas
Jingle all the way

Like a previous poster I also really enjoyed The Christmas Chronicles last year so will be on the list.

Lost Christmas (Eddie Izzard film)
A Christmas Carol (usually the animated one but any one will do)

The great escape

We always watch
The Muppet Christmas Carol
A Christmas Carol (original one)
How the Ginch Stole Christmas
A Child's Christmas in Wales
Scrooged
Elf
Charlie Brown Christmas
The Christmas Clause

Love actually
Hone alone 1&2
Die hard (it is a Christmas film!)
National Lampoons Christmas vacation
Scrooged on Christmas Eve
During the holidays I put on the sound of music and warble along ‘climb every mountain....,’

Not a Christmas film but I have to watch the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special every year. I can’t wait for the new one!

Might try this!

I forgot Elf

Mixed Nuts

So funny.

And topical.

The Family Man
While You Were Sleeping

(Both mine, the kids like Arthur Christmas the best).

Some excellent suggestions

Trading Places

@onetimeonlyy there are 2 sequels to a Christmas Prince.

Ok so,
The Holiday,
Family Stone
Christmas with the Kranks
Christmas with the Coopers
The night before
Surviving Christmas
The Santa Claus 1,2,3
Deck the Halls
Arthur Christmas
Christmas Chronicles
Daddy's home 2
Bad mum's Chrismas
Scrooged
Office Christmas party
Home alone 1&2
New Grinch
Polar express
Elf

I absolutely adore the shit ones that are in daily on channel 5!

Always some grumpy workaholic woman (often Candace Cameron from Full House) who's a bit of a Scrooge, who ends up getting romanced by some handsome chappy who is secretly one of Santa's Elves/Sons/Santa himself. Or they're about a single mum with an adorable child who gets swept off her feet by aforementioned chap. So cheesy but instantly make me feel all Christmassy! [santa]

Others I HAVE to watch:

The Santa Clause
Home Alone
Home Alone 2
Daddy's Home 2
Miracle on 34th Street
Love Actually
Gavin and Stacey Christmas Special
Christmas with the Kranks

White Christmas
Nativity!
