15 Must-See Christmas Movies for the Whole Family
I admit that I begin watching Christmas movies long before it’s even Thanksgiving. I would be satisfied watching them all year long to be honest, but then I guess they wouldn’t be as special come Christmas time. Do you have any Christmas movie faves? Myself and our Moms Check In moms are sharing our favorites plus we’ve rounded up the top 15 and linked to them in case you’d like to add them to your own physical Christmas DVD collection.

“I get so excited when the Christmas movies start each year. Our absolute favorite is A Christmas Story. Our entire family has actually called it “the You’ll Shoot Your Eye Out Movie” for years! Our second favorite is Elf. Then I’d say Jim Carrey’s The Grinch and Polar Express tie for our third favorite.”

“Christmas movies are a huge part of our holiday celebrations. They definitely get us in the spirit! Some of our favorites are Elf, Arthur Christmas, and A Christmas Story.

“My favorite Christmas movie of all time is White Christmas. I love the numerous set and costume changes. The will-they/won’t they love story. The behind the scenes of a variety show. And the poignancy today of a generation of soldiers who kept their wartime experiences bottled up inside.”
