The colorful lights, the festive music, the ugly sweaters, and the last-minute gift shopping - Christmas time is on the horizon again! For many of us, the countdown to Christmas Day is just as important as the actual day itself. During the countdown, we spend time with our families while enduring the chaos that comes with getting ready for Christmas morning. One of our pastimes is watching various holiday films and specials, many of which have become pop culture classics. Here are a few specials and films to watch during the time leading up to December 25th.
Adventure Time: Holiday Jolly Secrets
The two-part holiday special of the eccentric series focuses on the Ice King’s secret video tapes. A fun time whether you’re a kid or an adult.
Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer
A classic holiday special that’s been passed down from generation to generation. While its visuals and aesthetic are dated, it still presents a special charm for kids to enjoy.
Frozen
No matter how many times we sit through hearing “Let It Go”, Frozen is a great holiday film to enjoy whether you’re a kid or an adult. With its massive popularity, the film is sure to be a winter classic in the years to come.
The Nightmare Before Christmas
The beauty of Tim Burton’s classic is that it’s two holiday movies in one! After celebrating Halloween, you can dive back into the film when you’re in the Christmas mood. It also helps that Jack Skellington is one of Disney’s most beloved characters of all time.
A Christmas Story
A holiday classic that needs no introduction - the coming of age story about Ralphie trying to get a BB Gun for Christmas has touched the hearts of many throughout the years.
Of course, this list is just barely scratching the surface. There’s many more holiday classics out there to see and enjoy with the family!
