Hi all,

Any recommendations for Christmas films that don't have "santa spoilers", or non believers etc? For 6yr old and 3yr old boys.

Thanks!

Arthur Xmas

The animated grinch movie, voiced by benedict cumberbatch would be a good one.

I watched klaus last year which was lovely though probably more for older kids.

The original Santa Claus movie. Its my favourite. Very magical.

Polar Express brings with it an element of doubt and the question of “do you believe?” so that would be one to avoid.
I’d also love any suggestions.

6 year old is old enough for Home Alone

Following as I promised a late film with midnight snacks this weekend. It’s a good job my eldest can’t tell the time.

@Ohdoleavemealone

Grinch Elf Arthur Xmas
Elf has kids discussing parents being the ones who give presents IIRC.

I’m thinking of trying Bob broken sleigh on Netflix

Thanks for all the suggestions!
We'll avoid elf for now as the children say the parents buy the presents etc.
We have watched home alone 1 and 2, the 6yr old loved them! Proper belly laughing!

Arthur Christmas is lovely.

There are lots of Xmas films on Netflix including the new Christmas Chronicles film and Jingle Jangle (haven't seen this one though)

Fred clause is brilliant.
Also watched the star the other day and it is so beautiful that I cried Confused it's an animated movie about Mary Joseph but mostly about the little donkey. My 4&6 year olds loved it.

Would you recommend Fred Claus for 3 and 6yr olds?
