If there’s one thing we can’t get enough this time of year it’s Christmas movies. And since we’re all on the Nice List, don’t we deserve a little eye candy to boot? Pop some popcorn, dim the lights, and get snuggly: it’s time for a Holiday Hunks movie marathon.
Vince Vaughn, Four Christmases: He’s Hollywood’s favorite teddy bear, he always keeps us laughing, and he’s over six feet tall. Throw him into a Christmas comedy and our man crush multiplies.
John Payne, Miracle on 34th Street: Call me old fashioned, but you don’t know handsome if you haven’t experienced Mr. Gailey from 1947. And if you’re not convinced yet, just look at how good he is with children!
Peter Billingsley, A Christmas Story: Okay so he wasn’t the cutest kid but he did ask for an official Red Ryder, carbine action, 200-shot range model air rifle for Christmas, which makes him kind of a bad boy. Plus, he aged well.
Paul Walker, Noel: He was and always will be a crowd favorite.
Hugh Grant, Love, Actually: He may be old enough to be our fathers, but there’s just something about his British charm and those puppy dog eyes of his that are irresistible.
LL Cool J, Last Holiday: If he’s good enough for The Queen, he’s good enough. And those dimples though.
Ryan Reynolds, Just Friends: Overweight, goofy loser from high school or slim, wealthy businessman with a Porsche: we’ll take him any way, any day.
Bing Crosby, White Christmas: He might be a blast from the past, but he has the voice of an angel and knows his way around the dance floor.
James McAvoy, Arthur Christmas: It turns out that the voice of scrawny, ugly sweater-wearing Arthur is attached to a not-so-ugly face in real life.
Jude Law, The Holiday: Again, what is it with these British men? It doesn’t hurt that he has two English daughters in this film that absolutely adore him. Precious.
Matthew McConaughey, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past: We realize that this film isn’t exactly a Christmas classic, but it is based on one. And either way, is anyone going to argue that he doesn’t belong on this list anyway? Of course not, just look at him.
