It's that time of year when holiday movies are on tv all day and you just want to be snuggled up on the couch drinking hot chocolate. Christmas time, arguably the best time of year (at least for me), is the perfect time to just relax and watch your favorite christmas movies. I have made a list of must-watch movies for this holiday:
1. Polar Express (2004)
- A great movie for all ages
- It's an animated movie about an adolescent boy who does not believe in the spirit of Christmas or Santa Claus, and is taken on a journey to the North Pole on the Polar Express. Throughout the movie we see him on his journey as well as the other children on the train, and when he arrives at the North Pole he starts to believe.
- A great movie for all ages
- Kevin McCallister, an 8-year old is forgotten at home alone during the holidays while his family are going on vacation to Paris. While he is home alone, he is forced to protect his home from two robbers so we see him execute his elaborate plan.
- A great movies for all ages
- Similar to the first one, Kevin McCallister is in New York City by himself and is again faced with the same criminals from the first film.
- A great movie for all ages
- Based on Dr. Seuss' book, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," which later got turned into a TV special in 1966, How the Grinch Stole Christmas is a holiday classic. The Grinch, who as a child was turned away by the Whos of Whoville, and therefore forced to live on a hilltop on his own. As he is slowly welcomed back into Whoville, he is shortly after humiliated by the mayor and hatches a plan to destroy Christmas for Whoville.
- A great movie for children
- This movie is not like others where it focuses on one theme, instead it's divided into a, "three-part anthology-style video." The first video we see Donald Duck and his kids re-live Christmas every single day. The second video is Goofy trying to convince his son Santa Claus is real since his son is skeptical about it. Lastly, the third is of Mickey and Minnie with the theme of "ironic Christmas selflessness." Although they're three different videos, they are all linked together.
6. Elf (2003)
- A great movie for all ages
- Buddy was given up for adoption, but he fell into Santa's sack and we see him struggle to fit in with the other elves. He realizes he is an outcast and is on the search for his birth parents in New York City.
- Great movie for all ages
- A father, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, promises his son the most popular children's toy for the holiday, a Turbo Man action figure. With it being the most popular children's toy, all stores are sold out so he has to look for it everywhere.
These are my top 7 movies for this holiday, there's a movie for everyone. If you're into animation, remakes of classics, or just movies to get into the holiday spirit, I think these movies are a good place to start. What are your top christmas movies?
