Most Christmassy films and cartoons?

[toomuchtooold]

I want to get some Christmas DVDs for the kids (6yo) and also for me... can you tell me what your all time favourites are? I'm trying to remember the things I would have watched on tv in the 80s... the Miracle on 34th Street I remember, and the Snowman, but in those pre-internet times I forgot everything else...

So far I've got for me
Holiday Inn
It's a Wonderful Life

and for the kids

Miracle on 34th Street (the original, if they'll sit still for it)
The Nightmare Before Christmas
A Christmas Carol - but I don't know what version, the Jim Carrey Disney version was on TV last year but it was a bit weird

What else would you suggest?

We watch 'Jingle all the way' every year.

Muppet Christmas Carol and Home Alone for all of you. Die Hard for you.

I second Muppet Christmas Carol. It’s a legal requirement in this house!

My DCs liked Elf but we’ve done it to death a bit and they’re 13 and 20 now!

I force my family to watch ELF every year. Every year it's eye rolls, groans, 'no ways' and they do and its chocolate popcorn for the kids, no phones. And we love it.

Other favourites are Jingle all the way. Home Alone of course and the kids like Polar Express.

Muppet Christmas Carol x 100

The old cartoons like Frosty the snowman and Jack Frost. Rudolph. And a cabbage patch kids christmas.

The movie One Magic Christmas (beginning could be a little traumatic for some. Car jacking, dad gets shot, kids go into river-all ends well though)

A mom for Christmas

The best christmas pageant ever

Home Alone
The Snowman
The Grinch

Trading Places for you.

Raymond Briggs' Father Christmas. It's not Christmas here without it!

Arthur Christmas for the whole family. It’s great!

Also second Miracle on 34th Street, Elf and Home Alone.

Last year I was made to watch Lethal Weapon under my protests that it wasn’t a Christmas film. It was set at Christmas, but this will no doubt be an annual argument!

Scrooged - every year.
Me and DH watch four Christmases every year while wrapping presents.
For some reasons my dc insist on watching the Nigella and river cottage Christmas shows on the food channel every year 😂

Polar express, Arthur Christmas, Muppet Christmas Carol, home alone. We love Mickey's once and twice upon a Christmas too.

I've just remembered Planes, trains and automobiles too.

Muppets Christmas carol
Santa clause 1,2 and 3
The greatest store in the world (cbbc film)
Elf

Arthur Christmas and Polar Express are favourites here. When younger DS loved some Mackey Mouse Christmas film though I have no idea what it's called now.

Love Actually

Scrooged(1988) with bill murray ive loved it since i was a kid,but for younger ones id say
Home alone
Elf
The snowman
Pete's christmas( is good far all the family)
Jingle all the way & the 2nd one
We try to watch alot of xmas movies that come on ,cant wait for this year x

A Christmas Carol - but I don't know what version

As PPs say, the Muppet's version is the definitive Christmas carol.

I second Die Hard as the best Christmas movie after that.

I second Raymond Briggs' Father Christmas, me and my sister watch it every year and enthusiastically belt the song out 

I meant Die Hard, not Lethal Weapon. It clearly had a lasting impact on me...

Oh there’s so many...
My fav is miracle on 34th st
My childhood nostalgia ones are flontstones Xmas and yogis first Xmas and the original cartoon grinch.

Also muppets Xmas carol, home alone, the Santa clause, Santa Claus the movie, the snowman, Arthur Christmas, white Christmas, I’m sure there’s more. I can’t wait!!

The Santa Clause
Elf
Home Alone
The Mickey Mouse ones
