Let's be honest, one of our favorite parts of the Christmas season is watching Christmas movies and specials. Therefore, here are the Top 25 things you need to watch this Christmas season.
25. Unaccompanied Minors (2006)
Low quality, but still highly underrated movie.
24. Rudolph's Shiny New Year (1976)
Old, poor quality TV special, but it's a classic.
23. Prep & Landing (2009, 2011)
Newer Disney special, and it has a sequel that came out a few years later. Cute and funny special.
22. Frosty The Snowman (1969)
A classic.
21. Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town (1970)
20. A Christmas Carol (1984)
There are a lot of adaptations, but my personal favorite is the George C. Scott version. All classics though.
19. The Year Without A Santa Claus (1974)
Who can forget Heatmeiser and Snowmeiser?
18. Meet Me In St. Louis (1944)
Judy Garland's version of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" still gives me chills.
17. Miracle on 34th Street
I didn't put a year on this one because there are two versions, and both are great.
16. Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)
I think everyone watches this special pretty annually.
15. The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause (2006)
Yes, the other two are on here. I LOVE these movies, but some people don't love this one.
14. Home Alone 2: Lost In New York (1992)
Yes this movie is great, but the first one is better.
13. The Santa Clause 2 (2002)
Again, I love these, but the first one is the best.
12. A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)
Another special that I feel like everyone watches pretty regularly.
11. The Polar Express (2004)
10. Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas (1966)
The animated adaptation is fantastic, but the movie is yet to come on this list.
9. A Christmas Story (1983)
You'll shoot your eye out!
8. Holiday Inn (1942)
Bing Crosby stars in this film, therefore it screams Christmas.
7. Elf (2003)
Now some will be upset that I have this one at number seven and not higher, and y'all it's good, but there is better.
6. Home Alone (1990)
5. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989)
I think we all aspire to match Clark Griswold's decorating prowess.
4. White Christmas (1954)
Again, Bing Crosby = Christmas. Also George Clooney's mom is in this, so that's fun.
3. The Santa Clause (1994)
2. Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)
1. It's A Wonderful Life (1946)
Obviously.
So here is just one list, which is by no means comprehensive. There are so many more things to watch, so pick your favorite and cozy up with sweets and loved ones, and enjoy!
Merry Christmas!
