With the holiday season, it’s time to get into the holiday spirit by trimming trees, enjoying candy canes, and wrapping presents. If you’re looking for an easy way to create a festive atmosphere, consider watching classic Christmas movies. From Home Alone to The Polar Express, there’s a movie for everyone.
To make your movie-watching experience even easier, I have a list of the best Christmas movies available for you to binge-watch.
The Holiday
Nancy Meyers’ 2006 rom-com has gained a cultural resurgence, with praises for Cameron Diaz’s wardrobe and the memorable “Mr. Napkin Head.” The film revolves around two women (played by Diaz and Kate Winslet) who swap houses for the holidays to escape their unfulfilling romantic lives.
The Polar Express
Despite its slightly outdated visual style, The Polar Express remains a sweet animated film about a young boy’s magical voyage to the North Pole on Christmas Eve, featuring motion capture by Tom Hanks. It sure is among the comforting Christmas movies for the holidays.
A Christmas Story
Whether you catch it during the annual TBS marathon or stream it whenever you want, A Christmas Story is a cultural classic Christmas movie. The movie follows a young boy’s quest for a BB gun, which has become an iconic part of holiday traditions.
Home Alone
No Christmas movie list is complete without Home Alone. Follow the misadventures of Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin), who is accidentally left behind home alone when his family goes on vacation. Hilarity ensues as he defends his home from bumbling burglars.
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
After watching Home Alone, why not continue the fun with its sequel? Some argue that Lost in New York, where Kevin ends up in the Big Apple, is even better than the original. Join Kevin on another adventure filled with humour and holiday spirit.
