Holiday Shenanigans - Favorite Movies To Watch During The Holidays

Today we are chatting about our favorite movies to watch during the holidays! There's nothing I (Jamie) love more than staying in on a cold December night with our tree all lit up, some cocoa in my hand and a Christmas movie!

Tahleen's Picks:

 

I've got to watch A Christmas Story every year, even if it isn't until the 24-hour marathon on TV. But seriously, I could watch this any time of the year.

I'm also a big fan of Elf, which is an annual must-watch, and all those Rankin-Bass claymation masterpieces. Oh, and White Christmas.

Lori's Picks:

 

There are SO many great movies this time of year!  I have to watch the old versions of Rudolph, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Frosty the Snowman, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and The Charlie Brown Christmas.  I always try (and usually succeed) to watch The Muppets Christmas Carol and It's a Wonderful Life.  A recent favorite is The Bishop's Wife.  My mom and I also love watching the first Harry Potter movie (and sometimes wind up watching more than the first one...)

Jamie's Picks:

I watch A LOT of Christmas-y movies during the holidays but my 4 favorites that get watched EVERY YEAR are Love Actually, Elf, Home Alone and How The Grinch Stole Christmas. Watching How The Grinch Stole Christmas is even more important to me now because I used to watch it with my mom every year before she passed away in 2006.

Julia's Picks:

 

Usually what I try to do is just catch the specials as they air on TV, but the movies I go out of my way to watch yearly are The Muppet Christmas Carol and Love Actually. I've already watched Love Actually this year! But apparently I am also behind the times and there are a few Christmas Movie Classics that I have yet to see, Christmas Vacation being the main one and I guess Elf being the other. So this year those two are on my watch list. I also try to catch A Christmas Story on Christmas Eve when it is on marathon, It's a Wonderful Life, White Christmas (which I saw this year in the theater!), and any of the awesome animated movies!

Jana's Picks:

I always watch The Most Wonderful Time of the Year. It's definitely one of my favorites, because it has Henry Winkler in it! I love The Fonz, not gonna lie. I also love The Santa Claus, The Holiday, and I just watched A Princess for Christmas last night and really loved it! Can you believe I have never seen Love Actually, White Christmas, or It's a Wonderful Life? Seeing as how I am a Christmas movie connoisseur, that should change this year.
