These Christmas movies definitely make my favorites list too! We’ve already watched a few of these and it’s not even December yet! lol
probably the one that’ll be shown the most is “It’s A Wonderful Life” and “Miracle on 34th Street” – i’m sure i’ll end up seeing one or both of them (parts of them) at one point or another during the holiday season
Great list… It’s a Wonderful Life is my favourite holiday movie. There’s one movie that I’d add to that list… Going My Way. If you haven’t seen it, you should.
These movies are perfect for Christmas and it would be a joy to watch at least five of these with the kids! Thanks for sharing!
I agree with all of these (especially How the Grinch Stole Christmas, we watch it every year!) except The Polar Express. I’ve tried to watch it twice and I fall asleep. Love the book, not so much the movie. And no The Santa Clause? Another tradition for my family 🙂
All great holiday movies Ive seen overvthe years. Elf was one of the funniest!
I like Scrooged with Bill Murrary. My kids like Santa Buddies.
I liked all of them except Christmas with the Kranks. IT was just ok, but the others were great!
My kids LOVE Home Alone. They could watch it over and over.
I like number 4 & 5, the best. I don’t care for the black and white movies all to much. Great list though.
