The Ultimate List of Holiday Movies to Watch this Christmas
December 10, 2021I went down the Christmas movie black hole and dug up some of the most nostalgic Christmas movies and some solid classics for the ultimate list of holiday movies to watch this Christmas. There is nothing like cuddling up in your new Christmas PJs and watching a movie to put you in the holiday spirit. I’ve broken them down into a few categories and highlighted the ways to watch them. We have animated, classic and must-watch, claymation, comedies, fantasy/family, and romantic comedies. Let me know if we forgot one of your favorites and we can add it to the list!
