Love actually
The holiday
The Santa clause
Christmas with the kranks

My new favourite is Get Santa!! It's a relatively new one with a fantastic British cast. Jim Broadbent makes an amazing Santa.

Love seeing how many times Muppet Christmas Carol is on here- my DS8 has ASD and is OBSESSED with all things Muppets, he discovered Muppet CC in August and we have watched it 3-4 times a week, every week, since then, and i can still enjoy it!

Elf
Get Santa ( I don't know how this isn't more popular! It's fabulous!!
Home Alone

TulipsInbloom1 · 14/11/2018 21:33

Home Alone. The classic.
Christmas with the Kranks. The cheesefest.
Love Actually. The rom com.

phlebasconsidered · 14/11/2018 21:38

Oh my GOD!
Has nobody seen Uncle Buck? It is the best film EVER for Xmas.

In my house it's Uncle Buck, Gremlins, Scrooged.
We like our Xmas films with a bit of dark.

VerbeenaBeeks · 14/11/2018 21:45

I love Uncle Buck! That's not a Christmas film though, it's a watch whatever month of the year it is film! Smile
