It's that time of year again where we celebrate the best holidays of the year: Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, and more. The best thing about this time of year are all of the great movies to watch. Here are 5 holiday movies you must see this year.
1. Home Alone...All of Them!
It's not Christmas time unless you watch Home Alone with your friends and family. This movie is an all time favorite for many people, including me. Now, you can't just watch the first one. You instead must marathon all of the Home Alone movies together.
2. A Rugrats Chanukah and A Rugrats Kwanzaa
These are two holiday movies, for holidays that don't get as much screen time. They are great family favorites, and two movies I used to watch every holiday season growing up. If you aren't into the whole childish outlook on the Kwanzaa holiday, you can always look into the documentary The Black Candle which is actually narrated by Maya Angelou. Same goes if you want a more upbeat, more modern take on Chanukah, check out Eight Crazy Nights with Adam Sandler.
3. A Christmas Story
This is the traditional timeless movie that every family winds up watching together at least once if not 10 times together over the course of the holiday season. I know my family and I always wind up seeing it a few times on Christmas day as TBS marathons it for 24 hours. This movie is perfect for sitting around with family, joking, and sipping hot chocolate.
4. Holiday in Handcuffs
This is one of my personal favorites. Sadly it is not as well known, but it is definitely worth a watch during the holiday season. Mario Lopez and Melissa Joan Hart spice up the holidays in this unconventional Christmas love story. This movie is full of laughs, love, and lies, but it makes for the perfect holiday love story in the end.
5. The Santa Clause...once again...all of them
This film series is probably one that every child saw growing up. I know my family and I used to see it every year together, and it never gets old. This is a great movie for those late nights of staying in during the holiday season, or when you just need a light-hearted and fun Christmas movie.
All of these are great holiday movies and are perfect for this time of year. Let me know your favorites as well!
