The True Holiday Classics for Christmas (Old School Magic)

These movies are the reason we love Christmas cinema. They are wonderful and tell great stories about hope and being kind.

• It’s a Wonderful Life (1946): This is the best of the best. It tells the story of George Bailey, a man who thinks his life is a failure. An angel shows him what life would be like if he had never been born. It is a powerful reminder that every life matters. Get ready for happy tears!
• Miracle on 34th Street (1947): A department store Santa claims he is the real Kris Kringle. The story asks us to believe in magic. It is a sweet movie about faith and hope in a big city.
• White Christmas (1954): If you love music and snow, this is for you. Two army friends become a famous song-and-dance act. They team up with two singing sisters to save a failing inn. It is a warm, beautiful movie with great songs.

Modern Must-Watch Movies (The 1990s and 2000s)

These films came later but have become just as important as the classics. They bring a lot of comedy and a modern holiday feeling.

• Home Alone (1990): Eight-year-old Kevin McCallister is accidentally left behind when his family goes to France for Christmas. He has to defend his home from two silly burglars using clever traps. This movie is full of action and big laughs.
• Elf (2003): Will Ferrell plays Buddy, a human who grew up at the North Pole as one of Santa’s elves. He travels to New York to find his real father. Buddy’s simple joy and holiday cheer are truly funny and heartwarming. This is a must-see for all ages.
• The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992): This is the best way to watch the classic story of Scrooge. Michael Caine plays the mean Scrooge, while all the Muppets play the other roles. It is very funny but still keeps the great message of kindness and change.

For Grown-Up Fun (Romance and Action)

Sometimes you want a movie that is a bit more for adults. These films bring romance, big family chaos, and even a little bit of action to Christmas.

In recent years, new movies have come out that quickly became very popular. These are worth adding to your viewing list.

• Klaus (2019): This beautifully drawn, animated movie tells a new story about the origin of Santa Claus. A lazy postman is sent to a frozen island in the far North. He meets a lonely toymaker named Klaus. It is sweet, funny, and very original.
