Classic Christmas Movies You Have to Re-Watch This Season

1. Jingle All the Way

An all-time classic when it comes to funny Christmas movies, Jingle All the Way has a special place in our hearts. The hunt to find Turbo Man for his son; turns forgetful dad, Howard (played by Schwarzenegger) into a city-wide adventurer, doing whatever he can to get his son the sough out toy. 

2. The Santa Clause

Head right back into 1994 by giving The Santa Clause a watch. Scott Calvin (played by Tim Allen) discreetly turns into Santa Clause while trying to keep it a secret. Such a classic they came out with a second, and a third (none as nearly as good as the first though)!

3. Home Alone

Arguably, one of the best Christmas comedies, EVER: Home Alone. Watch Kevin McCallister (aka Macaulay Culkin) set up the most genius traps for robbers trying to invade his home, after accidentally behind left behind by his family for their Christmas vacation. Major throwback feels with this one!

4. Elf

One of the more newer classics (early 2000’s) – Elf is one of those Christmas comedy movies you just can’t get enough of. Will Ferrell plays Buddy, a human raised among elves, on a conquest to find his human father. So. freaking. hilarious. 

5. Jack Frost

If you want to feel all the #feels – Jack Frost will do just that for you. Without any major spoilers, let’s just say an unfortunate event leads to a sad outcome for a young boy, and Jack Frost is there to help…as a dad and a friend. 

6. A Christmas Story

So… there’s a reason you’ll see this movie being played 24/7 on Christmas. It’s hilarious, and so vintage. Dating back to the 80’s – this old school classic Christmas movie shares the tale of young boy who can’t stop dreaming about getting a rifle for Christmas. Twisted much? We know. If you haven’t seen it, watch A Christmas Story ASAP. It’s one for the books.

Is it really a holiday, if you don’t watch at least one Mary-Kate & Ashley movie? To Grandmother’s House We Go will no doubt make you feel like a kid again! Join the crazy (and kind of unsettling) adventure the Olsen twins take on after trying to give their mom some space.
