Now that Thanksgiving is over, it's time to get into the Christmas spirit! One of the best ways to do that is by watching Christmas movies. I've compiled a list of the seven best Christmas movies that you should watch this holiday season!
1. How The Grinch Stole Christmas
How The Grinch Stole Christmas is a classic Christmas movie. Whoville is the cutest town and with all the Whos getting ready for Christmas it always puts me in the holiday spirit. Cindy Lou's song "Where Are You Christmas?" always makes me feel all the feels. It's the sweetest moment when she makes the Grinch realize he has a heart after all.
2. Home Alone
The Home Alone series is always bound to put you in the Christmas spirit. Poor Kevin is accidentally left alone when his family goes on vacation, but it turns into an adventure for him. He is able to protect his home from burglars and help his neighbor reconnect with his family. In the end, Kevin is reunited with his family on Christmas and everyone is happy.
3. It's A Wonderful Life
This black and white film is sure to put you in the Christmas spirit. Seeing George Bailey go through his struggles on Christmas Eve shows that everyone has hard times, but the good times make life worth living. Christmas is all about family and seeing people come together, just like the town did for George when he was in need.
4. Eloise At Christmastime
Eloise At Christmastime was always my favorite Christmas movie to watch as a kid. I love watching Eloise confidently live her life in the Plaza Hotel. She is able to push people's buttons, while still being the adorable six year old she is. She saves Christmas Eve by getting the right people together and by spreading Christmas joy to everyone at the Plaza.
5. Love Actually
Love Actually is the best Christmas rom-com. The movie focuses on many different story lines, but all include different aspects of love. All of the characters go through different struggles and work through them leading up to Christmas. It doesn't end with perfect endings for all of them, but they continue on with love as the main theme.
6. The Polar Express
The Polar Express is a perfect movie to put you in the Christmas spirit! If you want to drink some hot cocoa, snuggle under a blanket, and watch a Christmas movie, The Polar Express should be your go to. The boy in the film goes from not believing in Santa to truly believing in him, even if he can't always see him. The conductor, the girl, and Santa show him what Christmas magic is all about.
7. Elf
Elf is hands down the funniest and best Christmas movie. No one can stop themselves from laughing every five seconds during Elf. Buddy captures true Christmas spirit and joy! Seeing him go from feeling like an outcast in the North Pole to knowing he belonged there is the perfect Christmas transformation.
There's my list of the best Christmas movies! I hope these seven movies can help put you in the holiday spirit as you get ready for Christmas!
