Christmas Films

[Babyyodasmacarons]

AIBU to ask you all for your favourite Christmas films?

DP and I will be spending the Christmas period on our own and I’m writing a List of Christmas films to watch from tomorrow until probably NYE. What ones would you recommend? (We will probably watch a few films a day - nothing else to do!)

So far we have already watched Home Alone 1 & 2 and Deck the Halls, so have the below on our list:

Miracle on 34th street
Elf
It’s a Wonderful Life
Die Hard (DP insists 😂)
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation
Christmas with the Kranks
Scrooged

Any of your faves I’ve missed? 🎄🎄🎄

We watched Gremlins today super festive!

Santa Clause the Movie.

Bridget Jones's diary
Gremlins
The Santa Claus

Also, you've forgotten the best Christmas film of all - Muppets Christmas Carol!

Arthur Christmas
Klaus
Christmas chronicles
Muppet Christmas carol
The Grinch
The Snowman

Watched Klaus the other day. Not what I was expecting and loved it! Def now a favourite

Gremlins, yes!! That counts as a Christmas film if Die Hard does!

I’ve not seen Santa Clause, I’ll put that on the list thanks 😃

IMHO the best family Christmas film is "Santa Claus the Movie".

It's old (1985) but brilliantly magical! I have fond memories of watching it back in the 80s. Watched it again recently and it didn't disappoint (unlike many other old films do when you re-watch them as an adult).

Oooh and Krampus...love the beginning scene

Home Alone
The Holiday

Polar express
Mupets Christmas carol
The holiday
Bridget jones' diary

If you have Netflix, the Christmas chronicles and the Christmas Chronicles 2

Bad Santa
Arthur Christmas

Also, you've forgotten the best Christmas film of all - Muppets Christmas Carol!

Ahh I’ve never seen that ☺️ It’s on the list.

Loving all the suggestions so far! Not seen Klaus either so will give it a go!

DP now wants Rare Exports on the list, I’m not sure it doesn’t look too Christmassy! Has anyone seen it?

Love Actually
The Holiday

Also, the original Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. Not the Johnny-Depp-Does-Michael-Jackson-In-A-Chocolate-Factory version.

If you have Netflix, the Christmas chronicles and the Christmas Chronicles 2

We do, thank you! We are definitely going to watch films and get nicely fat and drunk now 😂

Shazam is mildly Christmassy & v entertaining

I am going to watch Bad Moms Christmas after a recommendation from colleague.

The Holiday

Oooh yes how can I forget, love this!

I like The Polar Express.
Plus don't forget those American stop motion classics from the 50s and 60s: Santa Clause is Coming To Town, Rudolf the Red Nose Reinderr, Little Drummer Boy.
And of course Charlie Brown Christmas!

Ahh I’ve never seen thatIt’s on the list

Do it, you won't regret it. It's my Christmas tradition to watch it every year. It stays very true to the actual story to be fair, and it has Miss Piggy which is always brilliant.

Trading Places. Desperately un PC but brilliant. Love Klaus, Natvity, the Santa Clause

We watched The Holidate last night which I’d not heard of and DH and I both really enjoyed it!

While You Were Sleeping.

Never heard of trading places, going to look it up now 😃

Last night our festive movie of choice was The Shining
It seemed appropriate and their IS snow in it
