If you're interested in settling down for a nice Christmas movie marathon with your favorite Christmas patterned blanket by the fire and a cup of hot chocolate in hand, look no further. Listed below are the 16 Best Christmas movies that you just simply cannot pass up this holiday season.
1. Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas
One of my personal favorites, The Grinch is a classic Christmas movie that is bound to keep you laughing with Jim Carrey's ways.
2. Elf
Elf is one of everyone's favorites that never gets old with each coming year. Practically everyone can't wait for it to debut again around Christmas time so we can all sit down and have a bunch of laughs.
3. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Certainly an oldie but definitely a goodie, Chevy Chase evokes plenty of laughs in this movie that even your parents enjoy.
4. Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer
Even though Rudolph's audience is aimed at kids, it is still a nice classic to watch during the holiday season. And if you have any younger siblings or family members, it's a good movie to sit down and watch with them.
5. Frosty the Snowman
Also a classic primarily for kids, you can't deny that watching Frosty the Snowman doesn't take you back a few years to your beloved childhood days. It's always nice to relish in the childhood memories, and this movie is sure to do it for you.
6. The Polar Express
A Christmas movie with a great message behind it, it's hard to not appreciate this movie even into your adult years. Plus, everyone, no matter the age, should all have some faith and belief during Christmas time.
7. A Christmas Story
Is there really any commentary needed for this one?
8. Christmas with the Kranks
It's hard to believe that a family would just choose not to celebrate Christmas, but it surely results in some laughs and even takes a nice turn for the best towards the end.
9. The Santa Clause
One of Tim Allen's most known works, The Santa Clause movie has it all. The perfect movie to really truly get you into the holiday spirit.
10. A Christmas Carol (2009)
The 2009 version of a Christmas Carol really modernizes the classic movie and really intrigues the audience throughout the entirety of the story. Plus, as CGI improved with the modern age, it really helped this version of the movie take off.
11. The Nightmare Before Christmas
Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas definitely puts a dark spin on the Christmas holiday (but really what else would you expect from a Tim Burton film). However, its darkness seems to lift up in the end and everyone celebrates a happy ending. It's a unique Christmas movie, to say the least, but it is one we just can't seem to stop watching around the holiday season anyways.
12. Mickey's Christmas Carol
Also a classic that will take you back to your younger days, Mickey's Christmas Carol tells many popular and traditional Christmas stories through the different Mickey Mouse characters and friends.
13. Home Alone
I'm pretty sure if any of us had the Christmas that Kevin had we would be scarred for life, however he shrugs it off as if it isn't a big deal at all. That, coupled with his clever ways, is probably why we all love watching this holiday favorite.
14. A Charlie Brown Christmas
A Charlie Brown Christmas has got to be the most traditional Christmas movie of all, one you definitely can't pass up when settling down for a Christmas movie marathon.
15. Fred Claus
This Christmas movie is surely worth watching around the holidays. It's different than many other Christmas movies and Vince Vaughn really plays his role well.
16. Four Christmases
If you're into Rom-Coms AND Christmas movies, this one is definitely the pick. It combines the two perfectly so honestly, what more could you ask for?
