What are your favourite cheesy Christmas movies?

[Shufflebumnessie]

My absolute favourite Christmas film of all time is National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. DH and I watch it every year (& have done for the past goodness knows how many years!), we know it word for word .
In the more recent years I've discovered Christmas Inheritance and Christmas in the Clouds. Both are delightfully cheesy films and I watch them each year.
What are your annual cheesy Christmas films?

[InDreamland]

I have a few I must watch at least 5 times each during December:
The Muppets Christmas Carol
Yogi's First Christmas
Love Actually
The Holiday
Santa Claus The Movie
All I Want for Christmas

[zeeba]

How has no one said Santa Who?!

[Wishihadanalgorithm]

I adore The Postcard. It’s another Hallmark-style film. It was on recently for. Christmas in July so I had to watch it again.

Other than that I really like The Santa Clause with Tim Allen and Jingle all the Way.

Having said this, I watch most of the films mentioned every year. Love a good cheesy Christmas film.

[BeeTrees]

Yes to Netflix’s the chrismtas prince!

[IHeartSusanDey]

The best ones are The Christmas Box with Maureen O'Hara and Richard Thomas, and The Christmas Visitor with Mr Tori Spelling. They are just beautiful films and I have watched them every year for, well, years.

Also, anything with Candace Cameron.

[Mommabear20]

Elf!!!
All the Santa clause films and how the grinch stole Christmas (the Jim Carey one!)

[Devlesko]

I love those Hallmark ones too, where they either go back home or are there for some other reason.
That one where they lose everything and end up inheriting the Christmas tree farm.
Mrs Christmas with Angela Lansbury.

[CrazyBaubles]

I've never heard of Christmas Inheritance or Christmas in the Clouds but I'll give them a go!

For me, every year I watch:
Home Alone 1&2
The Santa Clause (the Tim Allen one)
Deck The Halls
Muppets Christmas Carol (dsis and I both watch this on Christmas Eve, as we did as children, and send each other pics, clips or lyrics from it).

DH will only agree to watch Elf and 4 Christmases and Die Hard

I discovered the most recent Grinch this year (the cartoon version) and Christmas Chronicles last year so I'll be watching those with my nephew too.

I've also got a soft spot for the truly rubbish and cheesy films they show on the free Christmas channels (Christmas 24 / Hallmark etc) and some time filler films such as Fred Claus, Christmas with the Kranks, Miracle on 34th Street, Arthur Christmas....

I may or may not start Christmas films too early and spend too much time enjoying them

[OutComeTheWolves]

A snow globe Christmas is absolutely the best cheesy Christmas film. I watch it every year. You can't beat channel 5 for feel good Christmas films.

[70isaLimitNotaTarget]

The Flint Street Nativity
A Childs Christmas in Wales

Not cheesey films but great to watch again

[CrimeCantCrackItself]

Arthur Christmas definitely! And all the Nativity films.

But I loved loved loved Angela's Christmas which was on Netflix last year. About Angela who pinches the baby Jesus from church on Christmas Eve to keep him warm and then trying to get him back to his mammy Mary.

[unicornpower]

I love National Lampoons Christmas Vacation! It's an absolute MUST in our house. Alot of people haven't seen it/heard of it so i don't know if its a very niche thing? Also

Home Alone 1&2
Elf
The Santa Clause
Its a Wonderful Life
Prancer

ANY hallmark christmas movies! could watch them all day haha

[GinWithASplashOfTonic]

Loved Holiday in the Wild however a pet hate of mine is when it is implied at Africa is one whole country not a continent. Why not say you're in Zambia and have done with it and boast their tourism whilst you're at it

[BumpkinSpiceBatty]

@Xmasfairy86 I also couldn't get into that one either.

[Xmasfairy86]

well this is a delightful thread for August!!
forming a list from here.....

Haven't seen Holidays in Handcuffs so that's definitely at the top of the what to watch list!

I enjoyed Christmas Chronicles last year, as well as Klaus.

Deck the Halls
I'll be home for Christmas
Four Christmases
This Christmas
Christmas with The Coopers

Could not for the life of me get on-board with Holiday in the Wild

[GinWithASplashOfTonic]

Love actually
The holiday
A princess for Christmas - staring Roger Moore
Any Christmas movie produced by Hallmark

[BumpkinSpiceBatty]

The family man with Nicholas Cage is my favourite - it is a reimagining of It's a wonderful life.
Christmas with the Kranks, Jack Frost, Santa Claus, Gremlins and any Hallmark movie.
My absolute favourite is Christmas in Conneticut with Kris Kristofferson. It is so cheesy and Tony Curtis brings a pantomine flair.

[ginandgingers92]

Miracle on 34th Street 💕 or if we're talking animation, Authur Christmas is pretty good hahah.

[PigglyWigglyWoo]

Christmas in evergreen

[hatesomethinchangesomethin]

Nativity!

[Lipz]

My favourite is Surviving Christmas with Ben Affleck, it's hilarious

[SingleHandSue]

@TheWoollybacksWife

I've only seen it twice but I look every year for the film "Holiday in Handcuffs" with Melissa Joan Hart. It's a typical cheesy Hallmark style Christmas movie - log cabins and snow but I loved it.

I have The Bishop's Wife saved on my Sky box. It's set at Christmas and I love it. I first watched it with my late father so it reminds me of him and has the added bonus of Cary Grant

Holiday in Handcuffs is brilliant!

[nevermorelenore]

@Bumble84

Anything which involves someone returning from a big city to the small town they were raised and realising they love it here. Basically your average Hallmark Christmas movie!

Haha that is every movie! And she always opens a bakery or bookshop. And her big city lawyer boyfriend comes to visit so she has to choose between him and the charming single dad she's just met in her hometown.

Me and DH have a yearly tradition where we watch and mock a terrible movie called Christmas Shoes. It makes us sound so mean because the movie is really sad and about a kid trying to buy shoes for his dying mum. But oh my god it's awful. Spoiler alert, Rob Lowe is a hard hearted lawyer who buys the shoes for the kid in the end and realises that he works too hard and needs to spend time with the family.

[longtompot]

I forgot to add Klaus! Watched it last year and loved it. It will be our new Christmas Eve film
