Knowing that the Beast has a deep-rooted hatred of Christmas (unsurprisingly), Belle does everything she can to show the Beast the magic of the season. Expect lots of uplifting songs and countless cute moments from Mrs. Potts (voiced by the late Angela Lansbury – an absolute delight).

When two women change homes for Christmas (one from Los Angeles, another from outside London), they get the chance to step outside of their lives and find the love they’ve been waiting for. increase. Romantic, heartwarming, and cheesy in every sense of the word. If you’re unfamiliar with the Meyers aesthetic, you’ll fall in love with this film.

15/23

I have mixed feelings about this movie, mostly due to the fact that it was made over 80 years ago. When we think of good things, it’s the story of a man who got a second chance at life.We see the life he changed and the positive impact he had on the world.

16/23

There is a group of about three movies that I consider to be my favorites of the holiday season, snowman Sit proudly at the top. A boy who builds a snowman the day before Christmas is magically brought to life and spends the night adventuring around the world. Although a silent film, Holiday features gorgeous music that sticks in his head throughout his season. No, it’s not a bad thing.

Probably every dad’s favorite Christmas movie. A dysfunctional family (supported by a poor father and an ever-irritated teenage daughter), glitzy holiday lights, and making this Christmas the best yet. fight for. It’s funny, silly, and perfectly captures the late ’80s.

Taylor Momsen (Little Jenny Humphrey from the beginning gossip girl series), who played Cindy Lou Who. This discovery alone makes me want to rewatch Jim Carrey on the green ASAP. Speaking of which, he’s perfect in this movie. I love the anime version too, but nothing beats Carrey’s play throughout this movie.

22/23

The predecessor of the Hallmark Christmas movie franchise. Barbara Stanwyck is a delight as her writer for the hood lied about being the perfect housewife (personally, I don’t blame her for the deception). However, she lies and is forced to convince her superiors and a returning war hero that she is the real deal when invited to her home for Christmas.

Let’s wrap up this list of the best classic holiday movies. Probably the best. Set in the 1940s, Ralphie is set to receive his Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. This is a toy his parents deemed too dangerous (“Kid, shoot me in the eye!”).It’s similar to fairy, the film is packed with some of the most quotable lines in a Christmas movie. I’m at a loss, so if you ever met someone who didn’t love this movie, please let me know.
