My Favourite Christmas Films

December is approaching extremely fast which means it is time to watch all the amazing Christmas films out there. There's nothing like a good Christmas film to get you in a Christmassy mood, and I can't wait to get started on them all. I'm not going to say what they're about because I'm sure most of you know already. I'm just giving my opinions.

Here is a list of my top 5 Christmas films :)

1. Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

This is one of the greatest films ever made, in my opinion. I watch it every single year and still can't get enough. Kevin is so cute and has the most amazing ideas for stopping the burglars. I also love how everything is so far-fetched. There's no way in real life a kid would end up on the wrong plane without his family and be allowed to use his father's credit card in a super fancy hotel. Also the burglars definitely should have died about ten times after everything they went through. I love how Christmassy this film is too, with the toy shop and the huge Christmas tree. New York at Christmas is something I really want to experience at least once in my life.

2. Home Alone


This is another really great film. I'll admit it's not as good as the second one, but that's mainly because it's not set in New York so there's no adventure in it. But again, everything is extremely far-fetched which I love. I know a lot of people hate that but I really love it. If you want things to be realistic then you can just look at your own lives really. I love all the Christmas things like the lights and the trees and the Christmas music. It always gets me in the mood for Christmas.


3. Elf

I'll admit that I often get a bored with the storyline for this film after the first half, but it is still a super amazing film. There are just soooo many great lines in it that people still always quote. It's definitely one of the funniest films ever made, and if for some crazy reason you haven't seen it yet you really should go watch it right now! I'm not much of a Will Ferrell fan, but he is so funny in this.

4. The Santa Clause

This is one of the most Christmassy films ever made. It's got Santa in it, the North Pole, elves, toys...everything. The little boy in it is really cute, and I love how he believes from the very beginning that his father is Santa Claus. I didn't watch this film last year and I really wish I did because it is so good and part of my Christmas traditions. I'm definitely going to watch it very soon. I think it might be a bit dated now, it was made in the early 90s, but it's still worth watching for all the Christmassy things in it.

5. The Holiday

I haven't watched this in years because I can't find it anywhere! This is such a cute film. It's a typical chick flick but it's just so lovely and has the best actors. Everything's really lovely and Christmassy, and I just feel really good when I watch it. I recommend this to anyone who feels like watching a really cute film with a happy ending. I love how we see stories from England and Los Angeles, seeing how different people spend Christmas and stuff like that. Honestly, go watch it, it's so good.

So let me know what your favourite Christmas films are. Do you have a completely different top 5? Let me know what you think...maybe you'll mention something I've never seen before.
