Favorite Holiday Movies?

Looking to see what holiday movies you/your family enjoy. Perhaps you have some on your list that I have never seen before. I just saw “That Christmas” last night, which was pretty cute. I don’t mind if they are cartoon movies or live-action. I like watching the Freeform channel 25 Days of Christmas movies, but some I have seen 10 times or more (“Home Alone”), or the programming eventually switches to something else and I’d like to continue watching holiday movies. I might check out “Red One” today, as I heard it has become a huge streaming hit and I want to see if it lives up to the hype.

@JakeAtGetIt you might want to check out the movie “Last Christmas” since it features the Wham! song you like!

We don’t have a movie watching tradition, however our friends always watch Die Hard on Christmas Day. Also, Alvin and the Chipmunks starts during the Christmas season, if I remember right–that would be a fun one! Whatever you do, I hope you have a great time.

Okay, easy!

  • The Christmas Chronicles (part 1)

This is really great, a newer one, but the kids love it…I do too!!!

  • Love Actually

Hugh Grant at his ‘Hugh Grantiest’ - never gets old!

  • Red One

Just saw this, pretty good. Needs a few years to see if it sill go into the heavy rotation…

…I need to think about some more but adding these for now!

That “Last Christmas” - I didn’t know that existed @Natalie_L1 - will definitely check it out!

You’ve probably seen “It’s a Wonderful Life”, but I can’t pass up the opportunity to talk about one of my favorite movies ever. Holds up well, and while I once might have though Mr. Potter was a caricature of an evil man, I no longer feel that way.

I also like The Shop Around the Corner, for another charming Jimmy Stewart film, and Charlie Brown Christmas is always great.

@RN_L yes, It’s a Wonderful Life is a classic (goes without saying). I remember seeing it in film study as just generally a great movie not withstanding the holiday motif!
