Number 10: How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966)

A remake of the 1947 classic of the same name, this movie is a great way to remember what the Christmas Spirit is all about, whether you’re a believer or not!
Number 8: The Santa Clause (1994)
Dad becomes Santa overnight? Talk about a dream come true for any kid!

It’s not all snowy heaven, family around the tree, good-feel movies in this list. Bad Santa is a satirical and funny take on Christmas, and an enjoyable movie at that. Don’t count it out!

Whether you’ve seen it a hundred times or you’re new to this movie, we believe it has everything a Christmas Movie needs: it’s funny, it’s romantic and it has Ryan Reynolds of course!

Love in all its different manifestations around Christmas time! With an untraditional format, specially for the time it was released, following several different stories, Love Actually is a very sweet and nostalgic movie about us humans, how we love and Christmas!
Number 1: Home Alone (1990)
We KNOW you’ve seen it, but what Christmas Movie list can leave out Home Alone? It wouldn’t be Christmas without getting hooked on Home Alone or streaming it!

Hey, its vacation, you may have some time left after watching the top 10!
