Hi folks,

Yule never guess what... it's 48 days until Christmas!

We know what you're thinking... it's a bit early for turkey and Santa talk. Tbf, you're right, but we need your help!

At MNHQ, we are dying to know what Christmas films roast your chestnuts.

All you need to do is post your favourite family Christmas film on this thread. We'll track the answers and reveal the results with a Mnetters top ten video!

But wait—there’s myrrh. Did we mention that every user who contributes will be automatically entered into a prize draw to win some Mumsnet goodies? No? Well, everyone that contributes will be entered - and we'll be picking one lucky winner. So what are you waiting for?

Elf!

Scrooged
I absolutely love that film. It's cheesy eighties glitz and OTT at its best, and Bill Murray is just exceptionally good.
Everything stops for Scrooged in our house

Even if it won't make it into the top 10:

Love Actually

Absolute favourite is miracle on 34th street. TheGirlWhoLived believes

Miracle on 34th street - either new or old version

Polar express

We both love Elf to distraction, and occasionally even watch it for a midsummer Xmas injection!

Loads, but Fiddler on the Roof for me. Love a bit of a pogrom to set the Christmas mood ☹️😊

But, Home Alone 'Oh Holy Night', in the church scene. Wow.

The 'The Snowman'. Not a movie, I know.

And, of course, Sound of Music. Despite my penchant for pogrom-noir (Fiddler on the Roof); escaping the Nazis is also there. I mean... Edelweiss? 😥

Lazy- yes, Love Actually is up there. You'd need to have believed in Tony Blair to 'get it'. But it's a great Xmas movie!

Elf
The Grinch
Muppets Christmas Carol
All classics

hallmark movies for me.yes thats what i said!
but miracle on 34th street in general

And the winner (for me) is: It's a Wonderful Life

Ah Christmas films! Somewhat of a staple for us as ds2 likes to watch year-round, often wearing Santa hat mid august lol
Our faves....
Home alone - agree with pp about oh holy night in the church
Nativity- all 3, watched back to back😁!
Arthur christmas
Christmas with the Kranks
Basically every christmas film you could think if, they're all his faves.
But I'll go
1st- Arthur Christmas
2nd- Home Alone
3rd- Elf
You're welcome👌🏼🎅🏼🤶🏽🌲🌲🌲

Rudolph & the island of misfit toys.
It's just brilliant.

For me it’s home alone followed by Nativity.
DH says Die Hard is the best Xmas movie ever 🧐

Christmas Chronicles (says dd2) & Elf (says me). Dd1 says Nightmare Before Xmas.

We all love Love Home Alone too.

I try and ban Xmas films before December but dd2 has been indulging all week.

Miracle on 34th street, the colour version with the girl from Matilda

Jingle All The Way - love it.

Jingle all the way, at first I thought it was cheesy and generic but it’s so funny!
Home alone obviously as it’s a classic.
Elf
Nativity
And a recent find is Arthur Christmas, I’ve had to watch it about 20 times now and it’s really grown on me.

National Lampoons Christmas Vacation
Christmas With The Kranks
Elf
Nativity 1, 2, 3
Home Alone
Home Alone 2

It's a Wonderful Life.

Elf!
Especially the scene where he dances on the table in the post room.

Elf because the whole family loves it and it’s hilarious! 😂
