Classic Christmas films that kids can enjoy?

[superhansg]

Me and my family love classic movies and so far found our little one (and myself but let's not talk about that ;) ) loves gremlins one and 2 but other than ET and the grinch I'm struggling to think of any others! Any suggestions?

How is ET a classic Christmas film??

Surely classic would be It's a Wonderful Life, White Christmas, Oliver and the like...ET"s not even festive!

dafuq ET?

Arthur Christmas
Elf (altho my 8yo hates it)
Deck the Halls
Home Alone 1 (2 is a repetitive snorefest)
Fred Christmas
Merry Christmas Charlie Brown
Polar Express

Die Hard - but for adults!

Muppet Christmas Carol with Michael Caine as Scrooge. One of his best performances ever!!!

The Railway Children 1970s one
Muppet Christmas Carol again

When I saw the thread title, I was thinking/hoping Christmas in Connecticut and the like I am too old for ET to be a classic!

ElQuinto has it, good list there OP - agree with Muppets as well, total classic.

You can't go wrong with Miracle on 34th St either - the original!

I remember we always used to watch The Slipper and the Rose (ie Cinderella: The Musical!) at Christmas, although it doesn't have anything to do with Christmas as such so probably not relevant!...

My dc love Home Alone so much it is actually quite worrying. I prefer Elf, myself.

Arthur Christmas and The Nativity films are favourites here (not number 4 though!)

All the above. If you have netflix christmas chronicled is very good

The Polar Express
Home Alone
I really loved The Nightmare before Christmas, it definitely has that ‘Christmas feeling’ for me but might be a bit creepy for children.

Groundhog Day

Santa Claus the Movie was always a childhood favourite in our house

Elf
Miracle on 34th street
A Christmas Carol

Elf
The Santa clause 1&2
Arthur Christmas
Home alone 1&2
The Nativity (the first 3)
Miracle on 34th Street
Christmas Chronicles
Polar Express
Are just a few of the Christmas movies my dcs enjoy.

Yes Christmas Chronicles is great - Kurt Russell is such a brilliant Santa!

I say E.T mostly cause my family used to watch it every Christmas Day 😳 lol
