Curling up in a warm blanket, holding a fresh cup of steaming hot cocoa and watching a Christmas movie is exactly how I like to spend my time during this time of year. And with so many of us staying home this holiday season, I’m sure you’ll find yourself doing the same. So, grab your favorite fuzzy blanket, pour your drink of choice into your most festive mug, and start watching your favorite holiday classics with the help of this Christmas movie bucket list. (For optimal enjoyment be sure to wear Christmas pajamas, light a Christmas candle and have Pillsbury cookies within an arms reach).
What’s your favorite movie on this Christmas movie bucket list? Or, is there a Christmas movie you love that didn’t make the list? I don’t know what it is, but Christmas movies made before 2010 are just the best and nothing else really compares. Elf and Christmas with the Kranks are two movies that bring me so much laugher and joy, especially during this time of year.
I must say though, I’m a sucker for Hallmark Christmas movies from any and every year. So, don’t be surprised if you see a Christmas movie list featuring nothing but Hallmark Christmas movies. Believe me, that would be one useful Christmas movie resource you would want to utilize. You can say what you want about them, but they will forever and always be a favorite of mine.
Hopefully this Christmas bucket list can help bring some holiday cheer to your 2020. For more holiday fun, check out:

The Family Stone is amazing and it’s not there!!! I just introduced my kids to Home Alone this week and they laughed their tails off 🤣. This is a great list to keep us going!

Oooo I’ve never seen The Family Stone but I’ve heard amazing things! I definitely need to watch it this season!
Valerie says
Love this list! For me, The Nightmare Before Christmas is a must-watch of the Holidays! Okay, I basically watch it before Halloween, but I also love to watch it during the Holidays!
And I’m glad Home Alone made it. I made my kids watch the first and second movies and it was great to hear them laugh at the mishaps of the thieves!
Simple Emily Elle says
Nothing wrong with that! I’m so glad your kids enjoyed the Home Alone movies, they are such classics!
