What is your favorite holiday movie?

Coach Kristina

This is the time of year where holiday music, movies, tv shows, etc. are almost inescapable. My favorite holiday movie is one that most people wouldn't consider a holiday movie: The Addams Family.

I'd love to hear what movies you enjoy this time of year!

It's hard to pick my favorite holiday movie. It's probably "Miracle on 34th Street", the original from 1946 with Maureen O'Hara and John Payne. Natalie Wood plays the cynical child who doesn't believe in Santa Claus. The Courtroom scenes are so funny. We've already watched it this year.

Honorable mentions:
1. Scrooge: the Musical with Albert Finney. (I like all versions of this.)
2. The Grinch who Stole Christmas (narrated by Boris Karloff), which my recently deceased brother loved and could recite the lines.
3. A Charlie Brown Christmas.

These always get me in the mood for Christmas.

My favorite holiday movie as of late is a newer one, and I'm not sure it qualifies as a movie since it's only 42 minutes long. But it is absolutely hilarious, and a must-watch!

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special

It's on Disney+, if anyone is interested!

"A Christmas Story" is a favorite at our house.

"The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension" — 1984

I watch it every year around this time.

I can't get enough of John Lithgow (as Dr. Lizardo/Lord Whorfin) giving his "pep talk" in the style of Mussolini.

(It's not "holiday themed" — but, hey, it's my holiday.)

"Favorite" in this case means the one that's on TV the most in my house…

That's a Split

1. Christmas Vacation
2. It's a Wonderful Life

We watch both many times between November and December each year.

So far no one has said "Die Hard". Thank Goodness. 😁
