If there is anything better than a Christmas story and some magic to it, we know nothing about it. The Man Who Invented Christmas is a warm and kind movie with a pinch of humor and magic to it. Even those of you who generally do not watch movies like that will fall in love with this one.

Elf

Elf - Funny Christmas Movie #funnymovie
Studio: New Line Cinema

Elf is clearly on the list of funny Christmas movies that are fit for all families. Will Farrell is a human raised as an elf, and that makes the movie sound a little twisted.

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Studio: Touchstone Pictures

Some people say that Tim Burton’s Christmas movies for kids are scary and unfit. We beg to differ. It is true, Burton kind of mixes the Halloween with Christmas one, but in the end, he manages to come up with a heartwarming, interesting, maybe a little spooky holiday picture.

Holiday Inn

Still wondering, what is a good Christmas family movie? Well, then we say How the Grinch Stole Christmas is the movie you should at least consider. We can promise you one thing though, and if you have kids, they will be in the total awe throughout the movie. Besides, we need to mention that Jim Carrey plays the role flawlessly.

The Santa Clause

Studio: Buena Vista Distribution Company

There are times when you think that there are no more good Christmas movies to watch. We say that is not true since The Santa Clause if the one you may be missing. It is a movie shot according to that good old holiday vibe that can’t be mistaken for anything else.

The Holiday

Who does not remember famous Christmas movies creatures – Gremlins! They seem so cute and fluffy in the beginning but then the scenery changes, and you do not know what to expect. Whether you have seen it or not, you must watch once more when the Christmas season starts!

The Family Stone

The Family Stone #familymovie

If you do not know whether comedy or dram you want to watch on a wintery evening, we say you opt for something in between. The Family Stone is one of those great Christmas movies that make you view some things differently after watching it.

Joyeux Noel - Traditional Christmas Movie

Joyeux Noel - Traditional Christmas Movie #traditionalmovie
Studio: Sony Pictures Classics

It is safe to say that Joyeux Noel is not a traditional Christmas movie at its core. However, it is still worthy of attention since apart from the festive theme it opens up far greater questions and problems. The movie wouldn’t fit the traditional movie range, but we still think that it is worthy of your attention.

Jingle All the Way

The Santa Clause #holidaymovie
Studio: 20th Century Fox

If you do not want to think about some greater paradigms of this life and all you want is to share a good laugh with your loved one, Jingle All the Way is the kind of Christmas movie that you want to choose. Charming Arnold Schwarzenegger is just a juicy treat for all the fans.

Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang

Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang #traditionalcomedy
Studio: Warner Bros. Pictures

There are many traditional comedy Christmas movies but Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang isn’t one of them. It has that peculiar kind of humor that has a bitter aftertaste. If you want a movie with a deeper meaning to it, this one starring Robert Downey Jr. would be the one.

Serendipity

Serendipity #romanticcomedy
Studio: Miramax Films

Very often, Serendipity is excluded from the Christmas movies list. However, we think that it is a poor approach to the season. This romantic comedy totally has the vibe and fits in the season just perfectly. It is a bit old-fashioned, but we think it is rather an advantage than the flaw.

Christmas movies are as special as the season itself. We wish that you do not miss a single worthy movie this year, that is why we have fathered all the top viewed movies from sites like 123movies in one place!
