My all time fave is White Christmas. I love the music and dancing! A very close second is A Christmas Story. I can say it WORD FOR WORD!
This is crazy but my absolute favorite Christmas movie is Arthur’s Perfect Christmas.
Leslie
It’s a Wonderful Life! :)
It’s a Wonderful Life, or White Christmas. Don’t make me choose. Then there’s The Muppets Christmas Carol. “light the lamp not the rat!”
Miracle on 34th Street
[but i have send a shout out to ‘White Christmas’ just for the Sisters-Sisters song! hilarious!]
Elf–what’s not to love about Will Farrell dressed up like an elf in NYC?
White Christmas, hands down. There just aren’t performers like Bing and Danny Kaye any more. Love, love, love it!!!
Though I do love Muppet Christmas Carol. :)
My favorite is Polar Express because the story has a personal connection with one of my children.
Christmas Vacation! It’s still up there for me! but Elf is a close second. :o)
White Christmas. I enjoy others, but this one is a must-see for me every year!
I love White Christmas and Elf.
while you were sleeping.
Polar Express!
The Bells of St Mary and A Christmas Story…that one makes the holiday season.
Miracle on 34th Street! I love all Christmas movies though – the cartoon version of Frosty the Snowman comes in second :)
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. It brings me straight back to childhood!
Home Alone
A Christmas Story all the way!!!! What a fun giveaway
White Christmas. Love the dancing.
I lurve “Love Actually”. For a PG favorite, I heart the animated Grinch.
Bing Crosby’s White Christmas. Hands down.
A Christmas Story, for sure.
The Grinch Stole Christmas
It’s a wonderful life, since i was 12, before anyone else knew what it was, and the perennial fave, a charlie brown christmas
Miracle on 34th Street!
We’re a White Christmas family. Even my 7 year old son loves it.
Home Alone 2 – Lost in New York.
It’s a Wonderful Life. Because every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings. :)
The Gathering–a 1977 made for TV movie with Ed Asner and Maureen Stapleton.
I was 2 months pregnant, making sequined Christmas ornaments from kits, and bawling–whether from the movie or the hormones, I don’t know.
But it’s a goody!
Home Alone. The Original One. *slaps cheeks* AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! :)
A Claymation Christmas – those California Raisins can rock it!!
I love a Charlie Brown Christmas, Prancer, Elf and Christmas Vacation! My family will be settling down to watch all of them during the next couple weeks!
The Santa Clause Movie!!! LOVE IT!!!
Our favorite family Christmas movie is
“Elf.” I, however, love “White Christmas!”
Oh, I hope I win this camera. My
youngest daughter was robbed 20 minutes
after she arrived back in the U.S. from
a semester in London. Along with other valuables, she lost her camera and computer with all her pictures!
So sad!
Elf! Too funny!
A Charlie Brown Christmas.
So many movies to choose from. I’ve never laughed harder at anything than National Lampoon’s Christmas vacation though… Cousin Eddie and his white loafers.
I broke my camera a year ago! I love White Christmas and The Family Man.
Sweet me – It’s a Wonderful Life
Sassy me – Love Actually
A Christmas Story
Hands down “A Christmas Story”
Happy Christmas BooMama!
Boy, do I need that camera. My husband dropped mine last SPRING and broke it into a million pieces, but he hasn’t bothered to replace it yet. Hmmm. I’m thinking it’s not going to happen.
Anyway, my favorite holiday movie since I was a little girl has been “Holiday Inn” with Bing Crosby and Fred Estaire. I think it’s WAY better than “White Christmas” even though the two are very similar–in fact, the song “White Christmas” shows up in both.
I love Elf! “We elves like to stick to the four main food groups – candy, candy canes, candy corn, and syrup!”
Merry Christmas!
How the Grinch Stole Christmas….classic
White Christmas
My favorite Christmas movie is Die Hard with Bruce Willis! (I have an edited version.) Hey, it takes place at Christmas and has Christmas music!
Okay so maybe it’s not really my favorite Christmas movie, just an ongoing argument with my family that it IS a Christmas movie and thus should be watched during the Christmas season every year.
Maybe my favorite Christmas movie is actually the old cartoon version of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, but I’ll never admit that in a court of law.
charlie brown christmas
It’s a Wonderful Life!! Love this giveaway–my camera is on its last leg. :(
Christmas Vacation!
The Polar Express is our favorite. It captures everything that is totally wonderful about Christmas.
I love the classics like It’s A Wonderful Life, but one of our new favorites is The Polar Express! What a great movie!
Elf!!!
I love Mrs. Claus with Jessica Lansbury. It is such a great movie.
Oh….. “Christmas Vacation”. With out a doubt. Closely followed by “Love Actually” and “Meet Me in St. Louis”.
Elf is my favorite long movie and A Charlie Brown Christmas is my favorite short Christmas show. Thanks! Merry Christmas!
When I think of my favorite Christmas movie I can’t help but think of Home Alone!! So Good!!!
Home Alone, it’s a tradition to watch it every Christmas atleast twice..once while decorating the tree, and again, while wrapping presents! Thanks for letting me enter. Love reading your blog.
Merry Christmas,
Lynette
It’s a tie, I know you said one but I just can’t decide. Elf or Christmas Vacation…both make me laugh while I wrap gifts!
A Christmas Story! “You’ll shoot your eye out kid! Ho! Ho! Ho!”
Polar Express Thanks Merry Christmas.
We love the Charlie Brown Christmas. And despite the fact that we OWN the darn thing nobody can remember to watch it until AFTER Christmas! Same with the Halloween one and Thanksgiving. Maybe I need to write it on the calendar or something…
I’ve never grown tired of It’s a Wonderful Life. Thank you for the chance to win the camera!
Emmet Otter’s Jug band Christmas. Must watch it every Christmas and a couple of times off season just to be reminded of its greatness!
Home Alone. Or Elf. I can’t decide. :)

Elf. Mostly because of the laughter that comes from my family while watching it.
