The holiday season is not complete without snuggling up on the couch with some hot chocolate and watching a movie. In case you’ve run out of ideas for what holiday movie to watch next, here’s a list of some HCK-approved must-see holiday movies!
1. Love Actually
2. Home Alone
3. Nightmare Before Christmas (Most people might consider this more of a Halloween movie, but it’s just as fun to watch during the holiday season!)
4. Rise of the Guardians
5. The Holiday
6. A Christmas Carol (You can choose which of the dozen versions of this movie that you want to watch, depending on your mood!)
7. How the Grinch Stole Christmas (The animated and live-action versions are both great)
8. A Charlie Brown Christmas
9. Elf
10. Eight Crazy Nights (For those of you who celebrate Hanukkah, enjoy some Adam Sandler humor!)
11. Christmas Vacation
12. Meet Me in St. Louis (Because you need to see at least one musical during your holiday season)
13. Barbie Nutcracker (The holiday season makes everyone feel like a little kid again, so just embrace it!)
14. White Christmas
15. Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer
16. Jack Frost (The 1979 version.)
17. The Christmas Ornament (I had to include one cheesy Hallmark movie)
18. Miracle on 34th Street
19. The Polar Express
20. Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town
21. A Dad for Christmas
22. Mean Girls (The Christmas-related scenes are an integral part of the plot here, don’t you agree? And really, why would you ever pass up an opportunity to watch this movie for the 300th time?)
23. The Santa Clause
24. It’s a Wonderful Life
25. When Harry Met Sally (Okay, so this isn’t a traditional Christmas movie… but after the Christmas craze is over and you’re looking forward to New Year’s Eve, you can settle down on the couch to watch this classic, holiday-appropriate rom-com!)
