But with so many Christmas movies to choose from, which\nare the best Christmas movies of all time? Well, we\u2019ve put together a list of\nsome of our favourites. Here are the best Christmas movies to watch this\nholiday season. <strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>The\nSnowman <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Snowman <\/em>is a true British classic that airs every\nyear at Christmas. This beautiful animation tells the story of a young boy and\nhis adventures with a snowman and features that beautiful but haunting\nChristmas song \u201cWalking in the Air\u201d. At only 27 minutes long, it\u2019s the perfect\nlength to watch on Christmas Eve while the kids are excitedly getting ready for\nbed and their visit from Father Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on a 1978 book, this animated short airs every year at\nChristmas time and has since spawned a sequel: <em>The Snowman and the Snowdog<\/em>.\nA true Christmas classic well worth a watch every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Snowman Trailer (palace PRE-CERT)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jb94kR0FqRI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><\/center>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Elf<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Elf <\/em>is a 2003 favourite Christmas tale about a\nChristmas elf discovering that he is a human who was adopted after accidentally\nwinding up in Santa\u2019s workshop. In the film, Buddy the elf heads to New York\nCity to find out why his father is on the naughty list, and to help him get\nback on Santa\u2019s good side and spread a little Christmas cheer along the way.\nFull of belly-aching laughs, slap-stick comedy and even a little romance, <em>Elf\n<\/em>is the perfect Christmas movie for the whole family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Elf (2003) Official Trailer #1 - Will Ferrell, Zooey Deschanel Christmas Movie HD\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gW9wRNqQ_P8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><\/center>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>The\nMuppet Christmas Carol <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>A Christmas Carol <\/em>is a Charles Dicken\u2019s story that\nhas been told many times over the decades on the big screen, in both\nlive-action and animation. But the Muppet\u2019s version of the tale is a popular\nversion loved by all. Michael Caine\u2019s performance alongside the beloved muppets\ngives this Victorian classic a real sense of wonder with a comic twist. It\u2019s\nundoubtedly a great film to get the kids excited about a Charles Dickens\u2019\nstory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) Original Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/euz-682_mjo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><\/center>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Home\nAlone <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Home Alone <\/em>is a 1990\u2019s eccentric, slap-stick film\nstarring a young Macaulay Culkin as the mischievous and resourceful Kevin, a\nboy left behind by his family at Christmas who must defend his family home from\na pair of prowling burglars. Through a series of tricks and booby-traps, Kevin\nsets out to give the burglars more than the bargained for when they try to\nbreak in, all while his mother desperately tries to race home in time for\nChristmas Day. This classic Christmas film has since spawned two sequels, and\nthere are plans to reboot the franchise in coming years, but it\u2019s safe to say\nthat the 1990 version will always hold a special place in our hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Home Alone (1990) Trailer #1 | Movieclips Classic Trailers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jEDaVHmw7r4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><\/center>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>The Santa\nClause <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can\u2019t have a Christmas movie list without mentioning a\nfilm about the star himself: Santa Clause. <em>The Santa Clause <\/em>is a 1994\nmovie that tells the tale of a divorced ad executive taking on the role of\nSanta after accidentally killing him \u2013 a joyful way to start any Christmas\nfamily film. He is reluctant at first, but as his hair turns white and his\nbelly grows, children present him with their wish lists and he begrudgingly\ntakes on the job. This 90\u2019s film soon became a Christmas-time staple with\nviewers and has gone on to have two successful sequels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Santa Clause (1994) Trailer #1 | Movieclips Classic Trailers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Bx8FX7etF_8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><\/center>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Klaus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A newer addition to this list of great Christmas movies, <em>Klaus <\/em>was released in 2019 on Netflix and went down an absolute storm with viewers, being nominated for Best Animated Feature at the Oscars that year.

He meets and befriends a woodsman called Klaus who makes toys, and Jesper begins to deliver them secretly to the children in the town. This beautifully animated film is a retelling of the legend of how Santa Claus came to be and is well worth a watch this holiday season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Klaus | Official Trailer | Netflix\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/taE3PwurhYM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><\/center>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>The\nNightmare Before Christmas <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A Christmas film or a Halloween film? Well, why not both?\nTim Burton\u2019s <em>The Nightmare Before Christmas <\/em>is a truly wonderful\nChristmas (and Halloween) classic which tells the story of the Pumpkin King\ndeciding to take over the festive holiday for a change, leading to disaster and\nchaos.

Carey does a fantastic job\nencapsulating the grumpy, angry persona of the Christmas-hating Grinch, who\nsets out to see to it that Christmas is destroyed once and for all for the\nhappy residents of Whoville. While a new, animated version was realised in\n2018, this earlier version will always be a true Christmas classic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dr. Seuss&#039; How The Grinch Stole Christmas | Trailer | Now on Blu-ray,DVD &amp; Digital\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YQV5Pr7pWtM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><\/center>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope you\u2019ve enjoyed a look at some of our favourite Christmas movies, how many are you going to watch this year?
