What's the best part of the Christmas season? Is it the candy canes? Decorating the tree? Receiving gifts? Giving gifts? For me, the best part of the Christmas season starts December 1 when ABC Family (now known as Freeform) starts the "25 Days of Christmas" and we get to watch all the classic Christmas films. In honor of the list coming out I have decided to rank these classic movies according to Me, and only me. Not all of you are going to agree and I expect to hear some very intense arguments about my rankings so lets get started!
From Worst to Best:
10. The Santa Clause
I was never a big fan of these movies, and I know a lot of people are, they just really get on my nerves. Stick to "Home Improvement" Tim Allen.
9. Frosty The Snowman
It's a cute movie and the song is a classic, but it's just not one of my favorites.
8. The Polar Express
There's something about a train taking kids in the middle of the night that seemed a little unsettling to me. Plus, the animation is so real, it scares me.
7. Nightmare Before Christmas
My two favorite times of the year combined?? What else could I ask for?? But while many people enjoy this movie, some consider it more of a Halloween film, than a Christmas one.
6. Santa Claus is Coming to Town
Although I make it a priority to watch this at least once a year, and the song is one of my favorites, I have to put a few more above this one.
5. Rudolph
I love the message behind Rudolph, and I've sung many variations of his song, but I always seem to miss watching this one, and I don't feel too guilty about it. However, this is one of the first Christmas movies and it's definitely a classic.
4. Year Without A Santa Claus
I would rank this as number one if more people knew about this movie. If you haven't seen this one yet, it's a necessity. Heat Miser and Snow Miser will be your new favorite characters.
3. Elf
Who doesn't love Elf?? This movie is perfect any time of year honestly.
2. Home Alone
This is such a good film and gets me in the holiday spirit, until I remember what Macaulay Culkin looks like now and then I have nightmares. What better way to remember Christmas than by watching a family forget their child at home?
1. Dr. Seus's How the Grinch Stole Christmas
The Grinch has to be ranked number one solely because of it's message. Whoville managed to make Christmas about it's true meaning: "Maybe Christmas doesn't come from a store, maybe Christmas perhaps, means a little bit more."
