There is nothing like snuggling up on the sofa in a warm blanket and watching Christmas movies in December. It’s the perfect way to spend those chilly evenings.

There are so many Christmas movies out there it can hard to know which ones to watch each year. There is only so much time, unfortunately.

This list of the best Christmas movies can help you decide which you want to watch. Don’t forget to add them to your movie list in your Christmas planner so you can keep track of which ones you want to watch.

These movies are perfect to watch with your own Christmas movie night. I love to make some delicious snacks and create a fun and cozy night in front of the Christmas tree with these Christmas movies.

    Lisa, you have my fave on the list! No one – I repeat, NO ONE – I talk to has ever heard of Christmas in Connecticut! I watch it every year.

    My two favorite animated ones are on the list, too: the Grinch (the original) and Charlie Brown. My hubby’s fave is Rudolph. 🙂

    I was going to say “Christmas in Connecticut,” too! Also “While You Were Sleeping,” and “The Family Stone,” and “Sleepless in Seattle,” and “An Affair to Remember,” and my husband’s favourite which we traditionally watch together after the kids are asleep— “Die Hard.”
