MNHQ HERE: Tell us your favourite family Christmas film of all time! [RESULTS ARE IN!]

[LilyMumsnet]

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?

Definitely Scrooged with Bill Murray. We love watching that on Christmas Eve!

The snowman is my favourite by a country mile. The family favourite however would be the first Narnia film...perhaps not christmassy but definitely winter-y!

Is it too early to get out the Christmas dvds?

Family Man with Nicholas Cage.
White Christmas.
Miracle on 34t Street - original.

Elf!!!!!! Or home alone!

White Christmas - I watched it practically every year as a child and we watched it for the first time in ages last year, this time with the DC. It’s every bit as magical as I remember and a gorgeous dose of nostalgia for times past.

From my childhood - the snowman
Recent - Arthur Christmas

Muppet Christmas Carol. Nothing else will do!

Elf!
Just googled its release date to check that yes, I did take dcs aged 3,5 and 7 to see it by accident. We’d gone christmas shopping, and it was only when we got to the shopping centre I realised I was very ill. It was the winter of mumps, orbital cellulitis and febrile convulsions. We were losing fingernails at one point. Took the dcs to the cinema in the hope of sleeping and recovering enough to drive home and stayed awake and loved it. Staggered home- it was the first year of online shopping chez Etinox.

The Santa clause just for the memories of watching it as a kid

And the miracle on 34th street because Richard Attenborough is exactly who you imagine Santa to be, perfect casting in my opinion [santa]

National Lampoons Christmas Vacation

'Love, Actually' for us. We watch it every year.

And:
The love actually
It's a wonderful life
Scrooged

We watch Polar Express every Christmas eve, its tradition 🎄

The Muppets Christmas Carol for me - partly because of the songs and partly for the nostalgic happy feeling it gives me. I've watched it every year since I was about 8 (am mid 30s now)

My kids and I absolutely love Elf ❄☃

Love Actually

Elf. Every single year someone suggests they watch it Christmas Eve and they all get excited and watch it while still getting angry about the dad 😂

Madagascar Penguins Christmas Caper; closely followed by Merry Madagascar.
Family tradition, even if the offspring is now an adult.

The Snowman. Just love it. Feels like Christmas

Polar express my little ones love

Home Alone, I watch it with my elder DD every year in the run up 😊
