I’m supposed to be packing to leave at 5am tomorrow… Flying to my parent’s place for a super quick Christmas visit. But, I hate packing. So I made a list instead!

These are the 10 best Christmas movies as determined by me. (They are MY favourites. Of course they don’t include some ‘classics’.)

And be forewarned ~ I’m totally gonna cheat.

1. Mickey’s Christmas Carol – My very favourite Christmas movie EVER. Hands down. I can recite the entire thing. Oh, and JIMINY!!

2. Home Alone & Home Alone 2 (See, cheating.) – Classics. But only the first 2. Any others are an abomination.

3. Miracle on 34th Street – Both the 1947 and 1994 versions. Different movies but equally great. Tear up every time.

4. Elf – This is Hubby’s tradition. Has to watch it every year. It is great though.

5. The Santa Clause – I LOVE this movie. It’s magical.

6. The Grinch – Again, with the magic and the feels.

7. The Bishop’s Wife / The Preacher’s Wife – (Still cheating.) TOTALLY different movies but both great.

8. A Charlie Brown Christmas – Love when they all gather around the piano and “ooh-ooh-ooh” the carols. And the tree! Iconic.

9. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer – C’mon.

10. Frosty the Snowman – Ditto. (And Karen FTW.)

Honourable Mention: The Night They Saved Christmas – I watched this as a kid once or twice and never forgot it. I thought it was so magical. Then I watched it as an adult….  Supercheesy 80’s movie, but I still kind of love it.

Now go ahead and tell me about all the ones I left off my list…
