What are the best Christmas movies?
The Christmas movie genre offers a huge variety of films to enjoy, embracing the holiday season with everything from heartwarming family movies to terrifying horror flicks. The 'best' Christmas movie is going to depend on whether you want a heartwarming classic that displays the traditional values of Christmas (Miracle on 34th Street, Meet Me In St Louis) laugh-out-loud comedies (The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, Elf) or the must-watch holiday hits like Home Alone and Die Hard.
If you're specifically looking for animated Christmas movies, some of the best of all time include Klaus, The Grinch, A Charlie Brown Christmas, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and The Nightmare Before Christmas. You can also watch movies such as Frozen, which isn't technically a Christmas movie but can contribute a beloved sing-along in the snow to your festivities.
