let's see if we can find the best Christmas movie ever!

[OLittleTownOfBarflehem]

My favourite is Santa Claus the movie. We watched it in the cinema when I was a little girl, it was my first cinema trip and we ate ice cream in little tubs.

Every year I watch it and enjoy it just as much as I did that first time.

Elf is a close second, then Christmas with the Kranks.

What's your favourite xmas film and why?

Why is A Christmas Story not on here?!
"You'll shoot your eye out!". I love it!

Elf!

It's beaten It's a Wonderful Life in my books. It's sweet and funny and it has so many good lines to quote.
"SANTA! OH MY GOD! SANTA'S COMING! I KNOW HIM! I KNOW HIM!"

Andi, I love that scene! No-one pulls off childlike joy like Will Ferrell. I love when the fake santa arrives "Don't tell him, he's a fraud!"

We can watch Elf over and over again!

And I like Annabelle's Wish too - very sweet :)

Die Hard.

Definitely The Greatest Store In The World! Also love Elf, Nativity 1&2 and the Home Alone films.

For the family: Elf , the very bright colours and songs are lovely for my DS who has a visual impairment. We will watch it on Christmas Eve

For Me : White Christmas. I get teary every time!

It's got to be Elf for me.

Though also love

Bad Santa
Die Hard (it's set during Christmas so figure that counts)
Miracle on 34th Street

It's a Wonderful Life

Polar Express 'if you just be-lieeeeve'

Elf. Don't get the polar express at all. Our entire family hated it!

Though the soundtrack is lovely :)

It has to be elf for me, it's hilarious and sweet without being too much, my dds love that bit Andimac! I find the scene where he is sitting on papa elfs knee funny every time! And where he doesn't know how to use the escalator reminds me of my mum!!!

Muppet Christmas Carol is one of my favourite films, not just for christmas!
'Light the lamp, not the rat, LIGHT THE LAMP NOT THE RAT!'

also love Love Actually, Elf, and It's a Wonderful Life :)

Whilst I love Love Actually, my favourite christmas movie has to be Miracle on 34th Street (new)

Muppet CC!

Die Hard is my favourite. followed by Trading Places.

Home Alone is my favourite family Christmas movie though.

It's a Wonderful Life is my favourite.

We have Elf and Miracle of 34th Street for the DC to watch in the car on the way to the DGP for Christmas. They won't watch Muppet Christmas Carol though they'd love it if they did.

So difficult to choose but Santa Claus the movie has to win it, however embarrassing it is to admit

oooh the holiday is a close second
