Christmas is right around the corner, and that means it’s time to get into the holly, jolly spirit. Decorating does the trick, and so does baking cookies or cooking your favorite holiday dishes. But another tradition for many during the holidays is watching Christmas movies. There are not many other festive activities that bring the family together like all joining together with snacks and hot chocolate to watch some classic holiday movies. To get you all ready to jingle your way through the holidays, we’ve compiled a list of great films to add to your line up. Some of these are newer movies, and some are classics that have withstood the test of time. But they will all bring some cheer to your family during this wonderful time. If you are ready to bring the yuletide merriment all month long, check out our list of what to watch in December to get you into the Christmas spirit.
Home Alone
It doesn’t get any better than this classic film. Home Alone was released decades ago, but still brings on the nostalgia of our favorite little guy who was left home alone for Christmas. Who doesn’t love a good story of cool pranks, a kid who stands up to mean grown-ups, and some good old-fashioned slap comedy?
A Christmas Carol
This classic by Charles Dickens has been recreated many times. It has been made into The Muppet Christmas Carol, Disney’s A Christmas Carol, and Scrooged, an 80’s rendition that starred Bill Murray.
Love Actually
This romantic comedy is not necessarily considered a classic, but is a light-hearted story of how messy and beautiful love can be, amidst the backdrop of the holidays. It has a great cast of stars and is definitely a good watch.
