Christmas is around the corner so it’s high time to watch some Christmas movies, right? Also, Christmas music is on and I diffuse my favorite Christmas Tree Blend writing this for you guys :). I only miss some Polish pierogies with cabbage and mushrooms to feel the “real” spirit of Christmas :).
We all have our favorite movies, but I tried to create the list of must-see Christmas movies that you can go back whenever the time of Christmas is coming. I have asked my Instagram followers (on insta stories) what their favorite Christmas movie is yesterday and I’m happy to say that all of those I’m about to list appear to be someone’s (if not more) favorite.
Home Alone (1990)
I don’t think there’s anyone that doesn’t know this movie. Even though, there’s Home Alone 2 and 3 and more, the very first is the best one and the funniest. My favorite scene is the one when Kevin is happy that he stayed at home alone :D. When something very happy happens in my life, my husband may see Kevin in me, lol.
Elf (2003)
As far as I am concerned, Will Ferrell did an amazing job in this movie and yes, if I knew Santa personally, I would react the same way as he did when Santa was coming to town :).
The Holiday (2006)
This is the kind of movie that I play whenever I want to remind myself of a beauty of winter and Christmas time. When you wear comfy and warm clothes and slippers with a cup of cocoa. Yes, it is more of a “chick flick” kind of movie :).
How The Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)
Marvelous acting of Jim Carrey is number one that everyone should see this movie, because he did a great job creating this character, which is Grinch. Let me also say: “Cheer up, dude. It’s Christmas!”
Die Hard (1988)
If I don’t mention this movie, my husband won’t be talking to me :). An oldie, but a goodie of an action movie with Bruce Willis.
The Christmas Chronicles (2018)
Finally, a new Christmas movie with a great story line, acting and new characters of elves. I’ve watched it only once, but I will again right on Christmas Day. If you haven’t seen it yet, it is definitely worth checking out.
The Santa Clause (1994)
A great family movie, which sometimes make me think: maybe Santa Clause really exist?! đ
Last, but not least, I would like to share with you my Christmas playlist I’ve created on Spotify. For those who use it, you are more than welcome to check it out by clicking here :).
Find me on social media, because itâll be great to have you there and follow me đ:
My wife and kids and I loved The Christmas Chronicles on Netflix. That was great, especially the jail scene in Chicago–classic! We love Elf too! Merry Christmas!
Yes, that was a good scene! âș Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Iâve never heard of this movie and I donât have Netflix, so Iâll have to find it.
Definitely, it’s very good! âșđ·
I love one more movie related to christmas.
The christmas Carol
It’s a good one too!
The absolute classics! Iâve still to watch The Christmas Chronicles but itâs definitely on my list now!
You need to watch it girl! âșđŒ
I highly recommend the 1984 version of A Christmas Carol starring George C. Scott. And if you’re into concerts you should watch Celtic Woman: A Christmas Celebration. Here it is on YouTube:
Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Thank you. I really needed this list. đđ
Awesome, I’m glad! âșđŒ
Home Alone and elf are just the best movies to watch to get you in your Christmas spirit đ
Happy holidays
Definitely! Thank you and same to you! âșđž
Home alone is my favorite đđ
âșđ
Recently watched Christmas Chronicles as well! My roommates and I found it hilarious! đ
Awesome! đđđž
I love this list! Die Hard is a must! đđâđđđđ. I love White Christmas and Jingle All the Way
Thank you so much! âșđđč
You’re very welcome đđâđđđ
Ah, the good old Home Alone. đ Dunno if you’re usually up to date with what goes on in Poland, but a few years ago the TV that always broadcasts Home Alone on Christmas Eve decided to finish the tradition… Those dozens of thousands signing an online petition made them change their mind đ That’s the power of Kevin, an absolute must-watch ^^
I’m Polish, girl! đ Of course, I know that about Polsat and I was the one signing the petition, as well âșđŒ
Well I didn’t know how interested you were in what’s going on here while living so far away đ I signed it too, naturally! ^^
âșđđč
Well, although I live in a muslim majority-country, they always broadcast Home Alone series every christmas holiday. It almost like a tradition for us, marks the christmas is near. đ€
âșđ
Thatâs great! I just love that film, for me it brings back memories from my childhood Christmases, but I also simply find it funny, and Iâm glad the film is popular even in countries which donât celebrate the holiday that widely ^^
Home Alone, The Holiday and the Santa Claus are 3 of my favorite Christmas movies ever! †â€
I like them a lot! âșđŒ
Perhaps it’s a generational thing. I respect your choices even though none of your picks appear in my list. Apparently none of my picks appear in yours. The following is my list of very favorite Christmas movies:
“Scrooge” with Alistair Sim
“Miracle on 34th Street” with Margaret O’Brien
“It’s a Wonderful Life” with James Stewart
“How the Grinch Stole Christmas” animation
“Holiday Inn” Bing Crosby & Fred Astaire
“White Christmas” Bing Crosby & Rosemary Clooney
“Going My Way” Bing Crosby, Barry Fitzgerald
“The Bells of St. Mary’s” Bing Crosby, Ingrid Bergman
Not exactly Christmassy, but these fit nonetheless:
“Heaven Know Mr. Allison” Robert Mitchum, Deborah Kerr
“Watership Down” animation
Thank you! I’ll try to watch them all! âșđđž
Iâll see if I can watch your picks, too. Iâm not a fan of the violence in the Die Hard series, and I really didnât see much in Elf, but I will watch again with a more open mind.
You can skip Die Hard then âșđđž
Thank you for sharing this list, I am old school and I love to sit next to my momma drinking hot cocoa â watching old movies till sunrise! I’ll be sure to add them to this year’s list đâ
Cheers!
– Venus
That sounds so lovely! âșđŒ Have a great time till the sunrise đ
Great picks. As always, your recommendations are pretty sweet like the pictured mugs of hot chocolate with marshmallows. Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much and Merry Christmas to you, as well! âșđč
Yeees love it! Love them! The hot chocoolate looks amazing so cosy! đ€đ đ»đđ
Thank you so much! âșđŒ
I had to smile at your Die Hard reference – that would come up on my husbands list too!
đđ I’m glad it made you smile! đ·
Great list! I want to see the Christmas Chronicles.
I highly recommend! âșđ·
We have some of those in our list too! đ
Awesome! âșđ»
My all time favorite Christmas movie is Love Actually. I watch it every year.

Happy holidays to you, as well! âșđ»
Love the post. This is great for those that have time to watch. You are always doing neat things. I want to come live with you.
Thank you! âșđŒ
Oh my! Okay, I’m with Barbara somewhat, but to add A Christmas Story as my kids’ favorite. I prefer The Santa Claus and of course now the new Christmas Chronicles may join the club. I enjoyed It’s a Wonderful Life for many years and it still makes me cry and Miracle on 34th Street.
I’ll check them out, thank you! âșđ·
I loved The Christmas Chronicles, and it is like the first christmas movie that i ever see, well that I remember… I’ll try to watch the others as well, and also I made my own christmas movie list to watch before the 24.
Great! âșđ»
My students actually voted to watch Home Alone during finals this year. They loved it. Iâve never watched Christmas Chronicles or The Holiday. Iâm going to have to check them out.
I highly recommend both of them! âșđ·
I forgot about The Holiday, love that movie.
âșđđŒ
The Grinch is my fave đ€
