Home Alone
The Nightmare Before Christmas (I’m in the camp that says this is both a Christmas and Halloween movie equally)
Elf
Santa Claus: The Movie
Love Actually
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation
The Muppet’s Christmas Carol
Scrooged
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
It’s a Wonderful Life (there’s also a “colorized” version of this film that’s arguably even better)
Also, here are a few runners up that didn’t quite make the Top 10 list but are still worth checking out:
The Family Stone
Fred Claus
The Holiday
And finally, some additional special mentions that maybe aren’t really “Christmas movies” but really are still perfect Christmas movies, at least as far as I’m concerned:
Groundhog Day (it isn’t even Christmas themed, yet it just feels like the perfect Christmas movie imo)
Batman Returns
Gremlins
Die Hard
Now that’s a whole bunch of jolly movies to keep you entertained over the festive period. 🙂
Merry [early] Christmas!
