It has to be Home Alone (even typing the words I can hear the melody that the choir sing in the Church- pure ‘Christmas’!!)

Polar Express for us, we have even been on a local Polar Express christmas train which we all loved

It's A Christmas Carol in its various guises. The kids love the Muppet version, I love the Alistair Sim version.

Home alone Is my favourite. The kids were old enough to watch it last Christmas. So lovely to watch a film you watched and loved as a child with your own children.

I don't like to keep watching the same films over and over, but I do like The Grinch

has to be ELF - Buddy's enthusiasm for Christmas is absolutely hilarious.

Elf. I only came across it 3 years ago.Will Ferrell is hilarious, and his rampant joy in it is very infectious and we all feel great with all the laughter.

The snowman. Can't beat it.

It is The Grinch for us. We can't get through Christmas without watching it at least once. For me it's because I love the snow and lights and the quaint, old fashioned look of the town with everyone bustling about. Even though in real life I'd be cold and annoyed with all the crowds!

The countdown to Christmas officially starts when we watch The Snowman.

For us it’s home alone. The dc are historical laughing every time.
Close second is miracle on 34th street.
We watch at least one Christmas film a week during December, but Home alone is always Christmas Eve. Once the veggies have been peeled.

Elf the animated version is absolute favourite (Buddy is voiced by Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory). The little one finds Will Ferrell in tights a little alarming in the love action version

Home Alone and The Snowman are favourites, plus Father Christmas (also Raymond Briggs) where you will end up singing “Another Blooming Christmas” for days, Muppets Christmas Carol (dd is a HUGE Muppets fan!), Nightmare Before Christmas and I adore It’s A Wonderful Life with Jimmy Stewart.

Dh and I have agreed that it’s not properly Christmas until we’ve watched Star Wars because that was always shown at Christmas when we were kids in 1980s

Live action.

Sorry my iPhone autocorrected. Love action version sounds more than a little alarming and highly inappropriate!

The Grinch. Always reminds me of my grandfather who passed away years ago. He was so grouchy and hated Christmas with a passion he said but every time Christmas day came he was the first one to shout out which games to play and always got into the spirit of things. In the weeks leading up though he was the most bah humbug person i know and at midnight on christmas eve always had some sort of miraculous Christmas magic dust sprinkled on him. Even looked like the grinch a bit lol

National Lampoon Christmas Vacation. My Uncle always said my Dad reminded him of Clark Griswold and so he refers to us as the Griswold family

The Grinch, watch it every year

Our family favourite is the polar express.
We all love watching it.

The Muppets Christmas Carol.

Songs, Muppets, Michael Caine and a story about how we should be kind, generous and thankful. I love it so much that one of the readings at our wedding last year was part of the song "Bless us all" from the film.

I absolutely love The Muppet Christmas Carol - saw it at the cinema on Boxing Day when I was about 6 & it just fills me with festive spirit - I try to push this on my LO every Christmas in the hope he will love it as much as me!
Not really a film - but certainly a festive animation - The Snowman, absolutely beautiful. My LO does love this & we've been listening to the audiobook in the car repeatedly since the beginning of Nov!!

It's A Christmas Carol - specifically the Patrick Stewart version because it's so heart warming and is full of the true message of Christmas.

Elf. The 9nly choice
Fun, non scary and festive.

Home alone

Muppet Christmas carol is our family’s favourite. Such happy memories watching together

Home Alone is a firm favourite in our house. We save this for xmas eve usually.

Elf, timeless and loved by all the family from young to old
