Krampus. Watch it every Christmas Eve.
Great film!

Home Alone
Daddy's Home
Harry Potter(s) (Even though I've seen these to death the 'plinky plonky' Xmas soundtrack music always relaxes me! And makes me crave mince pies!)

Not a film but I enjoy watching Christmas episodes of tv series

Particularly like the Supernatural episodes.

longtompot · 19/09/2021 16:41

I used to watch The Lord of the Rings trilogy when doing Christmas stuff, like card writing or present wrapping.

ToastieSnowy · 19/09/2021 16:46

The Long Kiss Goodnight
While you were sleeping

By the looks of the trailer add the Hawkeye movie to that list.

SisterAgatha · 19/09/2021 16:51

The Harry Potters always feels like Christmas films to me because they came out at Christmas.
Bridget Jones but that came out in July.

Me too. The Christmas episodes of The Middle are good, definitely reflect a real family Christmas rather than a perfect tv one!

Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (Finnish film) - big thumbs up.

I also really liked Krampus.

DressBitch · 19/09/2021 17:13

I came on to say While You Were Sleeping.

Secrets and Lies is a good crime series set at Christmas. Gutted it got cancelled.

Ikeptgoing · 19/09/2021 17:30

Wizard of Oz
Because it was on every year over Xmas period we associate it with feel good Xmas movie

Same with Its a wonderful life

MattDamon · 19/09/2021 17:30

Little Women (1994 version)

AliceMcK · 19/09/2021 17:43

@AlexCabot I love The Middle, definitely very Christmassy

Superman, the original movie.
