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?

ELF, ELF, ELF, and, oh, Elf!

Nstivity 1, 2 and 3

Garfield Christmas special from late 80s/early 90s, it's on YouTube.
Serendipity for you
For the kids - Olive the other Reindeer is lovely. (Drew Barrymore's voice!)

As per PP - Jingle all the way, home alone 1 and 2 (don't go further than that!), Muppet Christmas Carol

Absolutely the nuppets Christmas Carol x

DD's first Christmas last year and we were given the Raymond Briggs Father Christmas DVD. I think watching it will become a family tradition for us.

I was new to A Muppets Christmas Carol last year and absolutely love it.

Home Alone as my childhood favourite.

Muppet Christmas carol is my fave by far!!!! Watched it every Christmas since I was a little girl

Nativity!
I love that film.

Nativity and Arthur Christmas here. Annabelle's wish is sweet for little ones. We don't like Elf in this house.

Elf
The Santa Clause 1-3
White Christmas
Harry Potter & Philosophers Stone

Elf, the santa Claus trilogy, Christmas with the kranks, the family man, Jack frost, scrooge and my all time favourite Christmas in Conneticut.

If you search on Netflix you will find a lot of Christmas themed episodes of kids TV. My dc love the Christmas episode of Home.

Buddy the Elf! It's our Christmas eve film.

Our best childrens ones:
Elf
Polar express - always watched christmas eve before Dc go to bed
Muppets Christmas Carol
Home alone
The Santa Claus
Fred Claus
For dp and I
We always watch bad Santa when the kids are asleep on Christmas eve...after a few mulled wines!
Deck the halls I also love!

Mickeys Christmas Carol
Stickman
The Grinch
The Snowman/Father Christmas
The Nightmare Before Christmas

White Christmas for the songs.

Snow snow snow snow snoooooooooooow

We love Arthur Christmas! It's brilliant. So funny, suitable for all ages, plenty of interest for adults too. Turns out, being Santa is a family affair. Grandpa Santa is ancient, crotchety and desperate to be revered. Santa is getting on a bit, and getting complacent. Steve, the heir to the sleigh, is bossy and efficient. And then there's younger brother Arthur and the elves.

Oh, and Die Hard for me!

And Die Hard 2. "Just the fax, ma'am."

@70isaLimitNotaTarget I watch Lost Christmas too. I got it on amazon on dvd.
And Fast Freddie, the Widow and Me. Both brilliant Christmas tv specials.

Home Alone, Love Actually, Scrooge’s, Elf, National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, Jack Frost

Prep and Landing and Arthur Christmas- Christmas Eve tradition in this house.

The Nutcracker - Barbie, and Tom and Jerry versions. Nativity 1 is a must. We've also included Paddington and Frozen in the kids, and family, Christmas list. For me and DH we watch You've Got Mail, an American President, and Serendipity.

National lampoons Christmas vacation (one of the best films)
Elf (a must)

Nativity 1&2

Die Hard
The Grinch
The Harry Potter films always feel Christmassy to me too.

These are great suggestions, thanks! I wonder what we'll get in German Netflix - they've put a ton of Halloween stuff on sonI guess we'll be well provided for! I did already order a Jingle all the way/miracle on 34th st/home alone dvd box set for 7 euros though so we're definitely well prepared!

How the grinch stole Christmas! My 2 know all the words to it. Also Father Christmas and the snowman.

I like national lampoons Christmas vacation and miracle on 34th street. And we all love the first 2 home alone movies and muppet Christmas carol.

I have a whole shelf dedicated to Christmas DVDs - including for the kids:
Elf
Polar Express
all three "Santa Clause" films
all of the Nativity films (which were pretty rubbish but they like them)
Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas
Muppet Christmas Carol
Arthur Christmas
Fred Claus
Get Santa
Deck the Halls
Lost Christmas
Home Alone (1&2 only, the others were a travesty!)
Santa Claus the Movie

• and for me: It's a Wonderful Life the original Miracle on 34th St Love Actually Four Christmases The Holiday.
