;my favourite christmas movies
It’s Christmas! I may not celebrate it personally, but I love parts of the holiday. Mostly the presents but also some of the movies.
But mostly the presents.
More information and the full #Project14Lists can be found here.
There are a few Christmas movies that I do love, however, and wouldn’t mind rewatching every year. I’ve got to see if I can find them so I can watch them with the daughter this year…
- The Santa Claus.
Look, this was a staple in the house when it came out because Tim Allen, and it was funny and wholesome, and I still cannot get over the fact that David Krumholtz was Bernard because I adore him. - The Santa Claus 2.
See above about Tim Allen, and also it was fun to see Charlie a little more grown up but still believing in Santa because that’s so rare? - The Santa Claus 3.
Okay, this one is not as fun as the other two but I couldn’t not add it in. - Miracle On 34th Street.
I’m talking about the 1994 version because I adore Mara Wilson. I haven’t seen this one in YEARS but I remember loving it as a kid and I want to watch it again. - Snow.
Tom Cavanaugh as Santa Claus. Uh, yes, please. - Snow 2.
See above. Also the reindeer are characters in their own right, almost, and it’s AMAZING.
I’m sure there are a lot of other movies I haven’t mentioned that are also fun – like the Home Alone series! – but these are the ones I know for sure I’m going to be watching with my daughter as she grows up. They are fun and wholesome, and magical. And I don’t care that we live in the tropics, I’ll be making hot chocolate for us to curl up with when we watch them.
What are your favourite Christmas traditions and movies?

To be honest, I’ve not really sat down to watch a Christmas film. Mainly because I don’t really celebrate the holiday.

I don’t celebrate the holiday either, but at this time of the year, it’s pretty much the only thing that is airing on TV where I grew up so we definitely used to watch Christmas movies if we wanted to watch anything. And there’s something magical about some of them, they’re fun and lighthearted and just easy?
