I am a HUGE Christmas fan. I’ve been in the Christmas spirit since November 1 and am totally not ashamed of it. Every holiday season there are a few movies that I must watch before Christmas and once I finish watching those, I start watching the new ones that are put onto Netflix and Hulu. I have made a list of my top 10 favorite Christmas movies of all time to share with you.
Starting off with #10: A Bad Moms Christmas
This hilarious comedy is about three moms who have their own mothers drop in unexpectedly for the holidays. They realize the holidays are stressful enough with their own families, but now they have to deal with their mothers too! They cope with the stress by completely letting loose. If you haven’t seen this yet, you’re missing out!
Next up, #9: Holidate.
This romantic comedy is perfect to watch around the holidays. It starts off with two strangers who accidentally meet and express their hatred towards being single during the holidays. The two start inviting each other to their family events as plus ones and well, you need to watch to find out what happens next!
Following that at #8: The Santa Clause
This movie is a classic! I have been watching it for as long as I can remember. This movie is based around a Dad who wants to make Christmas special for his son, but gets caught up in some mischief and ends up at the North Pole as Santa! Many events unfold throughout the movie, but I won’t spoil anymore for you!
Next we have #7: The Christmas Chronicles
I discovered this movie on Netflix last year and instantly fell in love with it. It’s about a brother and sister who plan to capture Santa on Christmas Eve. Their plan does not go as expected and they have to spend the whole night trying to save Christmas. It’s a really great film and I can’t wait to watch it again this holiday season.
Coming in next at #6: Disney’s A Christmas Carol
This animated movie is so realistic, the first time I saw it in theaters as a child I was actually somewhat scared, LOL. This film is based around a miserable man named Ebenezer Scrooge who hates everything relating to Christmas. That changes on Christmas Eve when he is visited by the ghosts of his past, present, and future.
#5: The Grinch
No, I am not talking about the original version.. we will get to that later. I am talking about the animated version that came out in 2018. The animations in this movie are great and it is ALMOST as good as the original. There’s something about this movie that just really puts you in the Christmas spirit.
We have a real classic at #4: The Polar Express
This film takes us on a Christmas adventure through the eyes of a young boy who doubts the existence of Santa. This is one of my all time favorites because of how realistic the animations look. I also love the scene where the kids are at the North Pole exploring through the Christmas present organizing center. If you don’t know which scene I’m talking about, you should really watch it today!
#3: Home Alone 2
This movie is one of the best holiday movies of all time! The first one was good, but the second one is great! This movie takes us through the journey that main character Kevin McCallister goes through after losing his parents and getting on the wrong airplane. He ended up in New York City where he had to stop the Sticky Bandits and get the hotel management off of his case. It’s only November 14 and I have already watched this movie twice!
#2: How the Grinch Stole Christmas
This film came out in 2000 and is a live action film of one of Dr. Suess’ best stories. This movie is one of my favorites because the grinch is absolutely hilarious. He is usually hidden away in his mountain top home, but this year decides that he wants to steal Christmas. He is unable to completely follow through with his plan after meeting a little girl named Cindy Lou Who.
Finally at #1: Elf
This is my favorite Christmas movie of all time! I could honestly watch it any time of year and still love it just as much. This movie revolves around the main character Buddy the Elf. Buddy travels to New York from the North Pole to find his dad and is met with many challenges along the way. Buddy is played by Will Ferrell who actually rejected his very expensive offer to make an Elf 2. Some things are just better left as one! You need to watch this if you haven’t yet!
Well, there you have it, my top 10 favorite Christmas movies of all time. There are so many great Christmas films that I did not include, it was so hard to pick! I hope you enjoy these recommendations and start watching them soon!
