Who doesn't love Christmas movies? While the classics ("White Christmas," "It's A Wonderful Life," "Miracle on 34th Street," etc.) are all must-see movies for the Christmas season, there is a special place in my heart reserved for cartoons. Most of the movies that are listed below are from my childhood, but there are several that I have found in the last several years. All of them are way too cute for their own good and are must-sees if you love animation!
1. "Arthur Christmas"
Personally, I am not one for movies about Santa Claus, but I can't help but love "Arthur Christmas." I'm not sure if it's the complex family dynamic or the light-up slippers that play "Silent Night," but this one is a keeper!
2. "Kung Fu Panda Holiday"
Can this get any cuter? As with all of the movies, this Christmas special mixes deep messages with a lot of laugh-out-loud humor.
3. "It's Christmas, Charlie Brown"
I love Charlie Brown at any time of year, but Christmas is my favorite. If you're down in the dumps or can't remember what the Christmas season is all about, just ask Linus — he'll tell you!
4. "Prep and Landing"
5. "Winnie the Pooh: A Very Merry Pooh Year"
Most people laugh at me for loving this movie, but I do. Watch Pooh Bear and Piglet take Christmas into their own hands when their letter to Santa isn't delivered!
6. "Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas"
This magical movie contains three separate cartoons featuring our favorite characters. What happens when Christmas is every day? How do you handle Christmas on a budget? What happens when your child starts having doubts about the man in the big, red suit? No worries, Disney has you covered.
7. "Mickey's Twice Upon A Christmas"
Mickey Mouse and the gang are back with an all-new look! Though it took me awhile to get used to the new animation, the characters and stories still have the magic Disney touch. Three stories, three lessons, endless entertainment!
8. "Berenstain Bears Christmas Tree"
From the beloved book series, "The Berenstain Bears Christmas Tree" is packed full of silliness from beginning to end. Go for a wild ride with the cubs as Papa Bear discovers what Christmas is about.
9. "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer"
Who doesn't love Rudolph? Maybe it's my tendency to root for the underdog or maybe I just like the idea of having a pet who doubles as a flashlight. Who knows? Regardless, Rudolph is adorable and who could help but love him?
10. "Beauty and the Beasted: The Enchanted Christmas"
There you have it! Now go grab your fuzzy socks and a snuggie so you can enjoy these Christmas treats!
