This past weekend I finally started watching all of my favourite Christmas Movies! A few friends came over to my apartment and we watched Home Alone 1 & 2, drank beer and ate ice cream with marshmallows. It was just wonderful! I always love the few weeks leading up to Christmas and have made it a tradition to get in as many holiday flicks as I can. These are my must sees every year!
Okay, I know that Hook isn’t really a Christmas movie, but it’s set during the holidays! Who would be against a little Peter Pan holiday cheer, anyways? Do you have any favourite holiday movies? I’d love to hear them!

I LOVE Prancer – but usually nobody has ever heard of it
I’ve heard rave reviews of Love Actually but I’ve actually never seen it … I bought it last year, maybe I’ll get around to actually watching it this year!
Wait, what? “The Holiday” is not on your list? Or “Elf”?
Oh god I really didn’t like The Holiday! But I did watch Elf for the first time yesterday! Loved it!
Great list (especially b/c A Christmas Story isn’t on there)!! Glad you liked Elf
Craving syrup?
Good God, I seriously think I was so deprived as a child. I’ve never seen any of these movies except The Grinch! I know what’s on my to-do list now thanks to this post!
I discovered most of these titles after childhood, so don’t worry there’s time to catch up!
I approve this list Awmb.
Oh my gosh, I did the exact same things with friends this weekend, with the majority of those movies and eggnog instead of beer! Twins!
These are ALL amazing! Love Actually makes my heart SO happy, and I think I’ve watched Hook a hundred times. I also love White Christmas, Elf, Christmas Vacation, It’s A Wonderful Life, Charlie Brown, the list is endless.
Little Women!!! The rest are good too, but Little Women. How can you have Christmas without it?
I’m a huge fan of Love Actually. Colin Firth, Bill Nighy, Martin Freeman!? Yes, yes and yes!
My three favorite holiday movies are: Die Hard (Now I have a machine too. Ho Ho Ho!), Gremlins (scary stuff!) and Emmet Otter’s Jug-band Christmas. An eclectic mix o’ stuff to be sure.

PS Love your blog!
I love these movies, but would also add Elf and It’s a Wonderful Life to this list. It’s just not Christmas without those movies to me.
P.S. I haven’t commented in a while, but have really enjoyed reading about the adventures of your move!
I love Prancer and Hook as well! Great list and I love your blog so much.
Every year we watch National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. Its a funny one as well.
Miss you Ambie!
