It’s no secret that Christmas movies are a necessity for a perfectly spirited holiday season. There’s nothing better than cozying up with a large, fluffy blanket, and a mug of hot chocolate to watch your absolute favorite Christmas classic. Today I’m going to be looking at some of the best Christmas movies ever made so you can enjoy them this holiday season!
The first movies that come to mind when I think about Christmas are “Elf,” “Home Alone,” and a “Charlie Brown Christmas.” Never failing to deliver joy to the person watching, “Elf” is a Christmas staple. Whether it’s your first or one 100th time watching, Buddy’s firm belief in Christmas magic makes it an essential film to watch. He reminds us that, no matter your age, the Christmas spirit is always contagious. Buddy’s charismatic nature and humor makes this film so beloved and a must-watch for this Christmas season.
It’s no surprise that “Home Alone” was one of the first movies to come to mind. On his heartwarming yet comedic journey, we follow Kevin Mcallister’s wild adventure being accidentally left home alone on Christmas. As he braves the danger and loneliness, we have to laugh at Kevin’s juvenile approach to fending off Harry and Marv, the robbers that make it their holiday mission to get him. Following with movies two and three, the “Home Alone” series is a Christmas masterpiece that can be rewatched and rewatched, failing to ever get old.
However, “Charlie Brown Christmas” takes the medal for the most nostalgic Christmas film. Since its debut in 1965, the magic in this movie has made it a holiday favorite for almost 60 years. From its jazzy holiday music to its moving message, it reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas. Carrying themes of love and hope, Snoopy and Charlie Brown transport us to a comforting, fictional fantasy. Its timeless charm will forever woo its audience.
These three movies make me so excited for the Chirtsmas season, and I hope when you watch them, you can enjoy them as much as I do!
