The Best Movies to Watch During the 25 Days of Christmas
Every year Freeform, formerly known as ABC Family, compiles together some of the best holiday movies of all time and plays them during the “25 Days of Christmas” which begins every year on December 1st as a kick off to the holiday season. Here are some of the movies playing this year that are definitely worth watching.
1) Elf
You can’t go through the holidays without watching this Christmas classic at least once. Buddy the elf is the little kid in all of us who still believes in Santa and the magic of the Christmas holiday.
2) The Polar Express
Still don’t believe? Well this one will make you rethink not being a believer and also make you want to drink lots of hot chocolate.
3) The Santa Clause
Tim Allen plays in one of his best roles and turns into the big guy himself, Santa Clause!
4) Home Alone (all of them but specially the second one)
Home Alone makes us all want to be forgotten at home by our parents or left in New York City by ourselves for a parent free world wind of fun. It also raises the question of how many times does it take a boy to get left behind by his family until they finally realize that they should always check and make sure he’s present.
5) Mickeys Once and Twice Upon a Christmas
Who doesn’t like a good Disney movie with the mouse who started it all, Mickey!
6) Arthur Christmas
Arthur shows us how even if Santa isn’t important to you, that for some the faith in believing in him makes the holiday that much more magical.
7) Santa Buddies
If you’re a fan of adorable little puppies this one’s for you. This classic helps us all rediscover the true meaning of Christmas.
8) Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer
This holiday classic is a must and shows us all how even if you’re born with a red shiny nose, you can still be anything you set your mind to.
9) Disney’s a Christmas Carol
We all know that one scrooge during the holidays who’s a major Debby Downer, make them watch this and maybe they’ll rethink being so anti- Christmas.
10) Tim Burton’s the Nightmare Before Christmas
Who doesn’t want to watch a skeleton walk around trying to replace Santa and then realize the true meaning of Christmas?
11) Frosty’s Winter Wonderland
“Frosty the snowman…” This holiday classic is a must watch.
12) The Holiday
For those romcom fans this one’s for you. <3
13) National Lampoons Christmas Vacation
Last but not least, the Lampoons are back in this crazy holiday vacation where even though everything seems to be going wrong, they still manage to get it together in time for Christmas.
So, grab a friend and or the whole family, pop some popcorn, make some hot chocolate, and deck the halls with these Christmas classics. Happy Holidays!
