Our Family's Favorite Christmas Movies

​Nothing says Christmas like curling up under a blanket and watching a Christmas movie. 

I want to share our family's favorite Christmas movies with you. 

We have seen many of these movies over and over again through the years. Some are inspirational and some are hilarious fun! 

All are packed with festive holiday cheer and music that makes the troubles of the world seem distant for a short time. 

As Christmas rolls around again year after year, we find ourselves wanting to see these old favorites once again. 

So, pop the popcorn, heat up the hot chocolate, and get ready to hear about some wonderful Christmas movies that the whole family will enjoy!

It's A Wonderful Life

Picture
It's a Wonderful Life never grows old. It is the timeless story of a man who feels like a failure, but is actually a true success! Step back in time and watch George go through high school, college, the Great Depression, World War II, and finally come to a breaking point on Christmas Eve. But, the love of family, friends, and an angel named Clarence pulls him though. I laugh and cry ever time I watch this movie. 

A Charlie Brown Christmas

Picture
I grew up on Peanuts cartoons and always felt so sorry for Charlie Brown. In A Charlie Brown Christmas, though, Charlie Brown nails it at the end of the movie when he reads the Christmas story from the Bible. A very sweet movie for all ages! 

Elf

Picture
Elf is a silly movie that tickles our family's funny bone! We all laugh so hard together when we watch this lighthearted Christmas movie! 

The Nativity Story

Picture
I love this movie! The Nativity Story is the story of Mary and Joseph as they find out their world has been turned upside down. There is a tenderness to this movie that is so heartening and inspiring. I love the characters of Mary and Joseph. Really well done movie! 

A Christmas Carol

Picture
A Christmas Carol is my husband's favorite movie and his favorite version is the one with George C. Scott. This classic tale by Charles Dickens has been made into numerous movies, even cartoons. Its timeless message shines through in this version of a "Scrooge" who is converted from selfishness to genuine love for his fellow man. 

A Christmas Story

Picture
A Christmas Story is set in the 1950/1960s era of wholesomeness. Raphie wants a Red Ryder BB Gun, but Mom is worried he'll shoot his eye out. This movie is hilarious and we have so many lines memorized! We laugh through the whole fun! Great family fun movie! 

Home Alone

Picture
Home Alone is another silly movie with a little boy who gets left behind when his parents head to Paris for Christmas. If you have a large family, the chaos will ring true and isn't every mother's fear that her child would be left behind. While Mom is hitching a ride with a polka band to get home to her beloved son, the little boy is shopping, cooking, ordering pizza, and defending his home from robbers. Super cute movie! 

Christmas with the Kranks

Picture
Christmas with the Kranks is a hilarious movie starring Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis. With their daughter doing charity work in South America, the couple plans to take a cruise for Christmas and opt out of all their usual Christmas traditions. But, there has to be a twist! Their daughter tells them she is coming home with her brand new fiance so he can experience a traditional American Christmas. The Kranks have to get everything ready for their daughter in 24 hours. This is such a funny movie! 
Picture
Watching movies together  has become a tradition for many families. 

I started watching A Charlie Brown Christmas back in the 1960s. It would come on TV and we would race to the kitchen for a drink during the commercials. A Christmas Carol came on TV each year, as well and I remember being scared of the ghosts (remember that if you watch the movie with little children present). 

Early in our marriage, we discovered these other movies. They make us laugh and make us cry. 

Often these movies lead to discussions about Christmas, traditions, generosity, and what the treasures of life are. 

Christmas is a great time to talk about life and things we value in life like family, traditions, and Jesus! I hope this season will be a blessing for you and your family. 

Merry Christmas to all and please share your favorite Christmas movies in the comments below. 

Warmly, 
​Meredith Curtis
