I love the movies Arthur Christmas and Rise of the Guardians
Ugh. I'm up to Elf and there's been nothing but garbage so far. I'm out.
can't believe Santa clause 2 isn't on here
There is one thing that I’m not a fan of and that’s Christmas horror movies. To be honest, I think it’s stupid
I love Christmas movies including non-Christmas movies. Such as The Greatest Showman in 2017 and Wonka in 2023
What I’ve always LOVED about Christmas is being with my family, singing songs, watching Holiday movies and having Christmas treats. Also, that red is my favorite color
Tim Allen’s Santa series on Disney should have made it on this list
2003 Love Actually is far better than Elf.
Elf on the list? Really? Seemingly the comedy is basically the only thing that’s spirited and pure.
I don’t like Polar Express
Hey, its disappointing the grinch wasnt side mentioned for 2018's best movie
after watchibg elf it made me cry i love christman
Nicholas St. North is my favorite portrayal of Santa Claus
polar express is so ugly that is unwatchable.
MERRY CHRISTMAS! ❤💚❄🍪🥛🎁🎄🎅🦌
Is The Polar Express better or A Christmas Carol (2009)?
Bad Santa is pure rubbish like a number of other movies mentioned here.
This is Watch Mojo's idea of a list of 'the best of' for Christmas movies??! 🤮
If you guys liked this episode you should check out our top 6 list. We just uploaded a new episode today
Elf.
How The Grinch Stole Christmas is definitely a gem, I rewatched Elf and I enjoyed it, and The Polar Express was ahead of its time.
Thanks for including Harry Potter 😊
How did 'Santa Claus VS Predator' not make this list???!! Smh
2022 Spirited on Apple TV, should be on the list. A musical twist on a Christmas Carol with Ryan Reynolds & Will Ferrel. One of my new favorites ❤
I'm surprised SPIRITED didn't make the cut for 2022….GOOD AFTERNOON!
Ah, yes. I just saw this a couple of weeks ago, and The Holdovers is a new Christmas Classic. It's full of talent. Excellent screenplay. Excellent direction and cinematography. And the cast will have you laughing and crying. Definitely one of the best movies of 2023.
great! watch our christmas episode too!!!🎄
I wish I could find these on you tube
I like HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS and THE NIGHT BEFORE. I also love HARRY POTTER, ELF, A CHRISTMAS CAROL, RISE OF THE GUARDIANS, KLAUS, and VIOLENT NIGHT.
If I'm being honest though, I did not like ELF: BUDDY'S MUSICAL ADVENTURE and it's not a movie, but an annoying TV special. The year 2002 should've been THE SANTA CLAUSE 2, the year 2006 should've been THE SANTA CLAUSE 3: THE ESCAPE CLAUSE, the year 2015 should've been KRAMPUS, the year 2018 should've been THE NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS, and strangely enough… I thought the year 2023 was going to be either DASHING THROUGH THE SNOW or CANDY CANE LANE because most people like me as of right now have hardly heard of THE HOLDOVERS and didn't know it was a Christmas movie.
Harry Potter isn't a fuckin Christmas movie so everyone needs to accept that.
Best Christmas movie of all time is LETHAL WEAPON.
The Grinch (2000) is still the best movie during the Christmas season
The Holdovers is the best movie I've seen this year. What a gem.
2017 Anna and the apocalypse over Bad Moms Christmas? Really?
Klaus shot to the top of our holiday movie list. Simply love it ❤
I liked "Violent Night" even though those kinds of brutal movies aren't usually my thing. It never took itself seriously or tried to shoehorn in some drama or message at the end. If you go in ready to have some fun at the expense of villians suffering then it's a good watch.
Also while The Grinch felt a bit unnecessary, the animated one still stands up, I can't deny Jim Carrey's skills in acting were on full display and were a joy to watch.
Lets agree that the only thing wrong with the rise of the gaurdians is that we never got a sequel
Muppets Family Christmas!
I absolutely love Klaus, easy one of the best Christmas movies of all time. Top of my list to watch during the holidays.
My favorite Christmas movie is The Grinch with Jim Carrey
Where's Friday After Next for 2002 and Office Christmas Party for 2016?! This list is already fucked up!! Also Bad Santa over Elf.
Home alone will always be the best christmas movie
Lord of ring folwship of ring❤❤❤
Jim Carrey how the grinch stole Christmas is my favorite Christmas movie ever 🎄
Santa not even real bruhhhh
For 2003 must've been tough deciding between Elf and Love Actually
