Watching movies during Christmas adds to the festive atmosphere and enhances the enjoyment of the holiday season. A user asked the forum, “What’s the best Christmas movie of all time?” Here are the top responses.
HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS
“The original ‘How The Grinch Stole Christmas’ (1966 animation). It’s fun, charming, memorable, and done in 30 minutes. It’s the best option for a yearly Christmas watch.”
MUPPET FAMILY CHRISTMAS
“Muppet Family Christmas. All the muppets go to visit Fozzie’s grandma for Christmas, the Sesame Street crew gets lost in a snowstorm and ends up there, and Kermit and his nephew visit Fraggle Rock. The Swedish chef wants to cook Big Bird as the Christmas turkey. Just my absolute favorite.”
TRADING PLACES
“In Italy, it is tradition to watch this movie on Christmas Evening.”
SCROOGED
“Scrooged. The blend of comedy and heartbreak, the pacing, the performances. Top tier.”
A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS
“A Charlie Brown Christmas.”
SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN
“Santa Claus Is Coming to Town (1970), With songs like ‘The First Toymakers to the King,’ ‘No More Toymakers to the King,’ ‘Be Prepared to Pay,’ also known as ‘If You Sit On My Lap Today,’ and the most fantastic Christmas song of all time, ‘Put One Foot in Front of the Other.'”
GREMLINS
“Gremlins. My favorite part of this movie is the incredibly morbid story about why the female lead doesn’t like Christmas, which is very random and never comes up at any point ever again. It’s my favorite ‘Wait, what did I just hear?’ moment in a movie.”
WHITE CHRISTMAS
“Can’t believe this hasn’t been said already. White Christmas.”
JINGLE ALL THE WAY
“This is hands down my favorite Christmas movie. It’s just so good. The flaming head of Balthazar being punted into the group of carolers kills me every year.”
RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER
“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. I recently re-watched it. Did anyone else forget that the elf removes all the teeth from the yeti while he is semi-conscious, or just me?”
MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET
“Miracle on 34th Street. It captures the magic and spirit of Christmas and Santa Claus perfectly. It has to be the original, though, not the remake.”
JIM CARREY’S GRINCH
“Jim Carrey’s Grinch. It’s the most quotable Christmas movie ever (and that’s stiff competition). My favorite quote is, ‘The presents! They’ll be destroyed.'”
THE LAST HOLIDAY
“The Last Holiday. The food, the fashion, the location, and the message are all top-tier. It never fails to put me in the holiday spirit.”
TRAILER PARK BOYS
“Trailer Park Boys: Christmas Special. I watch it every year with the whole family. It’s just so heartwarming.”
KRAMPUS
“We were snowed in one night during a skiing trip, and my mate put on Krampus. The wind outside and the atmosphere of the movie was just a perfect match.”
