Favourite Christmas movies

[themumfairy]

Thinking of doing a movie night advent calender where I wrap up dvds and each night we open and watch one. We've got our favourites which are elf, the Santa clause, home alone, the polar express and the grinch. Dc would probably be happy watching those on repeat throughout December but I'd like some different ones. What's your favourites?

Love actually, muppet Christmas carol, stick man

Muppets Christmas Carol, Scrooged, Its a wonderful life

My favourite is called A Christmas Story. I saw it as a kid and loved it so tracked it down on DVD.

The holiday 😍

Bad Santa-depends on the age of DC though!

Miracle on 34th street (the one with Richard Attenborough)
Fred Claus
Die Hard
Arthur Christmas (absolutely adore this film, if we were all a little more like Arthur the world would be a better place!)
Nightmare before Christmas
Rise of the Guardians (not really a Christmas film but has Santa Claus)
Nativity

Home alone 2, miracle on 34th street, all i want for christmas, the snowman, father christmas, christmas with the kranks

The lion the witch and the wardrobe has Father Christmas in (briefly) and is lovely anyway especially for that time of year because of all the snow.

Depending on the age of DC Father Christmas? My DD was 9 last christmas and still loved watching it with her little brother. Mickys once/twice upon a Christmas if they're little add good too. How the grinch stole Christmas. We know all the words now.

National lampoons Christmas vacation is a fave of mine too.

Was coming on here to say Die Hard, but obviously rather depends on the age of your DCs!

Since you've already got Elf and Polar Express, then Muppet Christmas Carol, and maybe things like Stick Man or The Gruffalo's Child (snowy if not Christmassy!).

Nothing makes me feel less festive than Love sodding Actually!

Wizard of Oz
Sound of music
The king and I
Gone with the Wind

Are your dc still c ?

Dependent on their ages love actually may not be suitable.

It's a wonderful life, miracle on 34th street (original), home alone, natvity 1, 2 and 3

Some good ones on here, I like the Muppet Christmas Carol, Home Alone, A Christmas Carol (George C Scott, 1984), The Holiday, The Nativity (BBC), Murder on the Orient Express (1974 version), I know the last one isn't a Christmas film as such, but I watched it on Christmas Eve once, all that snow and glamour made it feel very Christmassy! Does anyone remember Carry On films being shown late at night on Christmas Eve years ago?

What a great idea !!

I love Home Alone and The Holiday

Arthur Christmas is my favourite. Also like I'm Not Ready for Christmas.....A bit like a Christmassy version of Liar, Liar.

Just checked both mine and DD's stashes. Oh my...
