- Home Alone (1990) - can you believe this movie turns 25 years old this year!
- Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer (1964) - I save watching this special one for December 1st. It reminds me of my childhood and it marks the true start of the holiday season for me.
- Frosty The Snowman (1969) - this seasonal cartoon is celebrating it's 45th anniversary this year. I can't wait to make a Frosty with my little nephew this winter!
- The Holiday (2006) - it's a Nancy Meyers film, need I say more? And Cameron Diaz's stylish winter wardrobe is to die for!
- National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989) - the perfect holiday comedy. I can still hear my mom squealing when the squirrel jumps out of the Christmas tree!
- Love Actually (2003) - a charming holiday film that puts the romance in Christmas.
- It's A Wonderful Life (1947) - this movie is a true classic that will warm your heart.
- How The Grinch Stole Christmas (1966) - this cartoon about an evil green Grinch who hates Christmas has been around forever but it never gets old.
- White Christmas (1954) - this beautiful holiday musical is my absolute favourite. I've watched it every Christmas Eve since I was very little.
Honourable Mention....
Every Rankin/Bass holiday film ever made - they may have been created for children in the 1960's and 1970's, but as an adult I still love them.
The Sound of Music (1965) - it's not actually a holiday movie - there are no Christmas scenes. But every year it airs between Christmas and New Year's and the holiday season isn't complete without it.
