Christmas Eve film ideas

[kellyhall81]

This year I’m doing my first Christmas Eve box for my dd (5) and ds (3) was thinking of putting in a dvd for us all to watch together. Looking for suggestions of a short-ish film to get us in the Christmas spirit - any ideas

Arthur Christmas.

Short ones would be buddy's musical Christmas, snowman and the snowdog, stickman etc. I love Arthur's Christmas too though!

We always watch the muppet Christmas carol. I absolutely love it.

Love Arthur Christmas too!

Another for Arthur Christmas!

I came on to say Arthur Christmas too. It's become a Christmas Eve tradition for us here

Arthur Christmas , yes.

The Stickman
The Gruffalo

I haven't seen Snowman&Snowdog but I make sure everyone watches The Snowman when its on (usually Christmas Eve Channel 4)
The DC (will be 18 and 15.6 groan , but it's a Tradition -and its only half an hour out of their 'busy' schedule)

Elf!!!!! Best film ever.

That's why I like buddy's musical Xmas as it's an intro to elf for 3 yr olds

Muppets Christmas carol

The snowman

Got to be Muppets Christmas Carol!

The Snowman

And The Snowman and the Snow Dog

The snowman

Father Christmas!! So many childhood memories watching it.

Arthur Christmas.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas - the 1960s animated version with Boris Karloff as the voice of The Grinch.

The Snowman
The Snowman & Snowdog
Stickman

When my dc were that age it was Mickey’s Christmas Carol every year! They looked forward to the box magically being their in the living room when we cane home from the panto/Christmas activity. New pjs on, wee treat from the box after pulling the massive cracker and then the VIDEO on...!!

Last year I bought a double dvd of father christmas and the snowman. This year Ive bought the snowdog.

Id say the muppet christmas carol is a bit long for little ones.

Prep and Landing
There is an Ice Age short too.

Aww thank you all for taking the time to post some great ideas - really appreciate it thank you
