One of my favourite things about the Christmas season is watching all the Christmas movies. So here are my top 10 Christmas movies. (This isn't the exact order but it was difficult to choose.)
1. Elf
Everyone has seen this classic Christmas movie with Will Ferrel portraying Buddy the Elf. Growing up in the North Pole living an Elf style life, he soon finds out that his father in fact is human and lives in New York City, so starts the adventure to meet him. This is such a funny, magical Christmas movie.
2. Miracle on 34th Street
There are two versions of this movie, but my favourite is the newer one with Mara Wilson. Also set in New York City, with Susan always being told by her mother that Santa Clause is not real. Kris Kringle then enters their lives and they have to fight to prove that he is the real Santa with set backs along the way. This was one of my favourite movies as a child and will always give me the Christmas feeling.
3. The Santa Clause
This is an incredible movie. Tim Allen play Scott Calvin who is looking after his son on Christmas eve. After hearing someone on the roof, he knocks Santa off the roof and has to take his place and become 'the new santa'. This is so magical and I love all 3 of the movies but the first one is my favourite.
4. The Muppet Christmas Carol
WOW WOW WOW! What a movie this is! I watch this every Christmas Eve. The muppets do their take on the classic Charles Dickens story with the most wonderful music and makes some of my favourite Christmas songs. This is also one of my dad's favourites, so we enjoy watching around this time of the year.
5. Polar Express
OH BLIMEY! This is Christmas in one film. A young boy who does not believe in Santa Clause has a train arrive outside his house. He travels all the way to the North Pole along with other children who are also non-believers. He embarks on a journey of self-discovery that shows him that the wonder of life never fades for those who believe. Please go and watch this now if you haven't seen it before!!!
6. Home Alone
I actually watched this film not that long ago. Kevin and his enormous family are going away for the holiday season, but when Kevin feels like the least important one in the family, he wishes they would all disappear and wakes up to find out they have. While being alone, he has to protect his house no matter what the cost. I love this movie and it is definatly one I will pull out at Christmas (or any time actually.)
7. Jingle All The Way
Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a father desperate to get his son the present he has been asking for, but after searching everywhere, they are completley sold out. He has to compete with everyone else for this toy. I feel like this is a very relatable film at Christmas when you leave the shopping till the last day and have to do whatever it takes to find the present you are after.
8. Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas
This may not be to everyone's taste but I had to put it in my top 10 as I watch this every year without fail. Mickey Mouse tells 3 Christmas themed stories which puts anybody in the mood for the season.
9. The Grinch
No surpise there being one of the most popular Christmas movies. Jim Carrey portraying the green character, hates Christmas and wants to ruin for all the people of Whoville. Having been hidden for years, the Grinch leaves his moutain top home to steal everything Christmas related. But when meeting Cindy Lou Who his plan might not work as well as he thought.
10. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
As the holidays approach, Clark Griswold wants to have a perfect family Christmas, so he pesters his wife, Ellen and children, as he tries to make sure everything is in line, including the tree and house decorations. However, things go wrong quickly when his relatives turn up. This is so funny and I remember watching it when I was young with my family so this is my final entry in my Top 10.
So that's my top 10 Christmas Movies. Let me know if you've seen any of them or what your favourites are!
