Have some free time over the holidays? Why not celebrate by watching lots and lots of movies. I even threw in some alternative Christmas movies for you to enjoy.
The Santa Clause (1994)—The heartwarming tale of a man who gets slowly brainwashed in to becoming Santa. Wait…
Love Actually (2003)—This movie sure does make waiting for your loved ones at the airport gate look awesome.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)—The version you watch when you want to see something laughable bad.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966)—The version you watch when you want to watch a good movie.
Scrooge (1951)—Ah, this old classic tale that you’ve seen a million
Gremlins (1984)—How hard is it to follow three simple rules?
The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)—This one’s probably more of a Halloween movie, but the beauty of the film is that you can watch it at both holidays.
A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)—I wish I could dance like that.
A Christmas Horror Story (2015)—A film who’s title is a complete lie, because since it’s an anthology film, there are multiple Christmas horror stories.
Trading Places (1983)—The days when Eddie Murphy was in good movies.
Frosty the Snowman (1969)—The greatest talking snowman. Other than the one who sounds like Batman.
Elf (2003)—One of the better Will Ferrell movies your likely to see.
Brazil (1985)—It may be a dystopian, bureaucratic future, but at least they still have Christmas.
Bad Santa (2003)—The most heartwarming Christmas movie your ever likely to see.
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)—This might just be me, but it seems like everyone at the North Pole except the heroes is a jerk in this movie.
Krampus (2015)—It’s all about a family coming together during the holidays—to fight unspeakable horror.
Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town (1970)—How you ever wanted to know the secret origin of Santa? If you answered no, then watch the movie anyway.
Home Alone (1990)—It’s like Saw (2004), but as a kid’s movie.
Edward Scissorhands (1990)—No joke, I feel like crying every time I watch the ending of this movie.
Miracle of 34th Street (1947)—I thought I saw Santa Clause walking down the street once. Until the restraining order people explained to me that it was just some random old guy in a red suite.
Batman Returns (1992)—I personally feel this movie’s underrated, but I understand why you might not like it.
The Year Without a Santa Clause (1974)—I sincerely doubt this many kids wouldn’t care about Christmas being cancelled, but who cares. Just listen to those classic Miser Brothers’
Black Christmas (1974)—Enjoy one of the earliest slasher movies.
Die Hard (1988)—Quite possible the greatest Christmas movie besides It’s a Wonderful Life. If you have time, Die Hard 2(1990) is also pretty good. Once you get past the fact it’s a less fun, more violent rerun (NFSW) of the first movie that’s filled with way more plot holes.
It’s a Wonderful Life (1946)—Quite possible the greatest Christmas movie besides Die Hard. And remember, no man is a failure who has friends.
