Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.
It’s a Wonderful Life (1946)
This movie is such a Christmas classic. Even though a lot of the movie is sad, the ending warms your heart and shows you that you need to appreciate what you have in life.
A Christmas Story (1983)
One of my favorite things about Christmas day is AMC's 24-hour long marathon of Ralphie, his family, and "Oh Fuuudge..."
Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)
Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.Home Alone (1990)
Being home alone without any parental supervision was every kid's dream.
Miracle on 34th Street (1947)
The best part about this movie is that it shows you that you need to have faith and believe, no matter how old you are. That and it's always funny to see Mr. Kringle give sass to the psychologist that thinks he's crazy.
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)
Nothing says "Christmas" quite like a claymation movie.
A Charlie Brown Christmas
Not only is this movie great because of the amazing dance scene, but also because of Lionel's speech that reminds us what Christmas is really all about.
The Year Without a Santa Claus (1974)
The Heat Miser and Snow Miser are hands down the best part of this movie.
Santa Claus is Coming to Town (1970)
This movie is cool because you get to see the back story behind Santa and where all of his traditions come from. But watch out for Burgermeister Meisterburger!
The Polar Express (2004)
This was my favorite Christmas book when I was growing up and I remember being so excited when they turned it into a movie. It will always remind me to believe, even when I can't see it.
The Santa Clause (1994)
"Does this look like a little weight to you? - after you eat Thanksgiving dinner
Frosty the Snowman (1969)
I still don't understand why he says this after coming back to life, but whenever I wish someone a happy birthday, I hear Frosty's voice in my head.
A Christmas Carol (1992)
[Screams Internally]. While every version of this movie is worth watching, the muppet version tops them all.
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989)
Squirrels, fire, annoying neighbors, and kidnapping are just a part of a typical Christmas for the Griswald's.
Elf (2003)
If you think that this movie wouldn't be on the list, "you sit on a throne of lies" and you're a "cotton-headed ninny-muggins."
No matter how you spend your holidays, I hope it is filled with your loved ones and happiness (and lots of good food). So sit back, relax, turn on these movies, and approach the holiday season with me.
