1. How the Grinch Stole Christmas: I strategically placed this one first because I’m still bumping into so many Grinches it isn’t even funny! You’ve had your turkey; now move over for Santa Claus! Whichever version you choose, animated or live action, its a great film to start you off and get you into the Christmas Spirit!
2. Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town: Now this one is a throwback to my childhood. I feel like it’s one of the more underrated classic Christmas movies, and it definitely needs to move up a notch. I mean, hello! There’s a singing Santa and one beautiful Mrs. Claus! Not to mention the cutest pet penguin EVER!
3. Elf: If you haven’t seen Elf, I’ll try my best not to refer to you as a “Cotton-headed Ninny Muggin,” but this film is by far one of the most hilarious Christmas movies around. It really does put you in a childlike spirit, and there’s no shame about it! WARNING: May cause you to spread Christmas cheer by singing loud for all to hear! And put syrup on your spahetti.
4. Christmas Kiss: This one you’ve probably never heard of (Heck, I had never heard of it!). While perusing the Christmas section on Netflix I stumbled upon this, and an hour and half later I was sitting at my desk bawling (tears of joy, of course). This movie is SO GOOD and downplayed. It’s pretty much a Cinderella story, only instead of having an evil stepmother, there’s an evil boss. If you’re in the mood for a slightly mushy but all around good quick film, try this one out on Netflix!
