25 Days of Christmas Movie Marathon (2021)

Crank up the fireplace, grab your hot chocolate, and get

wrapped up in your coziest blanket because my 25 days

of Christmas movie marathon is here! In this article I have

my top 25 must watch Christmas movies starting December

1st and leading up to the main event, Christmas day! Hope you

enjoy and are ready to watch along with me!

.

December 1st: The Nightmare Before Christmas

This year I am really struggling with the fact that Halloween

is over so I figured, since many people argue that this is

actually a Christmas movie and not a Halloween movie, I could

throw this one in at the start of the list and kill two birds with

one stone! In all honesty there is never a bad time to

watch this movie in my opinion.

December 2nd: Die Hard

Another controversial movie this time of year. Now, you

can yell all you want, however, I won’t listen because Die

Hard, while not only a great movie, is also A CHRISTMAS

MOVIE. Thank you and Yippee-Ki-Yay.

December 3rd: The Holiday

to watch The Holiday. Don’t ask me why, but I enjoy watching

this movie every single year and love all the actors in it. It is a great story!

December 4th: Holidate

This is a new movie on the scene, but I loved it so much when

I watched it I just had to include it. The movie itself takes place

over multiple different holidays, not just Christmas, but it will bring

you so much joy (which is a big thing during Christmas time right?)

that that little detail will just slip your mind. Lol Also...totally

down for being someone’s holidate. However, unlike the people

in the movies, I expect to get paid for my time. Hahahaha

Netflix: Free with subscription

December 5th: Holiday in Handcuffs

Full of cheesy lines and scenes there's just something

about this comedy that I cannot let go of. It is a staple

on my watch list every single year.

December 6th: Office Christmas Party

I’ve never seen an office Christmas party quite like the one

in this movie, but after watching it I kind of think I might need

one. Lol It is a crazy ride, but one you

will most definitely enjoy.

December 7th: Best Man Holiday

This is hands down one of my all time favorite Christmas

movies. I watch it multiple times every single year and each

time is better than the last. It will make you laugh, it will make

you cry, heck it might even change your life. LOVE IT SO MUCH.

December 8th: Jack Frost

This is a movie from my childhood that I just have to include

every year. The graphics are not the best, but I don’t think they

are bad enough to take away from your movie watching

experience. The soundtrack in this movie is pretty killer too. I’d go

see the Jack Frost Band in concert. Lol

December 9th: Bad Santa

Feeling naughty this Christmas season? I know Billy Bob

Thorton was in this movie! Definitely not one to sit and watch

with the kids, but one that will have the adults in the

house roaring with laughter.

December 10th: Let It Snow

I’m not usually a fan of the cheesy Hallmark movies, but

this one for some reason will always hold a special place in my heart!

.

Where to Watch:

Unfortunately this movie isn’t streaming anywhere at the moment :(

.

December 11th: Four Christmases

Four Christmases sounds like a pretty good deal to me, unless

they are the four in this movie. Hilarious from start to finish

and might just make you appreciate your family

a little more….maybe. Lol

isn’t quite as good as the first I still think it is a must

watch this Christmas season.

December 13th: Klaus

I watched this movie for the first time earlier this year and

thought it was actually a really good animated movie. I found

myself just sitting and staring at the screen instead of doing

something else while watching so you know it must be good!

It would be great for a family movie night.

December 15th: The Santa Clause

This is the movie that started it all and makes Tim Allen forever

Santa Claus in my mind (hence why watching him in El Camino Christmas

on Netflix really made me cringe lol).

December 16th: The Santa Clause 2

In all honesty this movie in the trilogy is the one I

remember the best. Santa is out living his best life, sleighing

it if you will, and then is forced into a life of terrible imprisonment, aka

marriage. Hahaha Okay that was a little too cynical for Christmas time.

I didn’t like the concept that he had to get married, but overall I

always do enjoy this movie and the scene when they are at the

school Christmas party makes me smile.

December 17th: The Santa Clause 3

This is the third and final movie in the series annnnnd

honestly the worst of the three, but I couldn’t make this list

without including it. Still a great one to watch with the whole family.

December 18th: National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation

You just cannot go through this Christmas season without

spending some quality time with the Griswald family. You

just can’t! Also, Clark Griswald’s Christmas light display on the

outside of his house makes me soo jealous. Lol

December 19th: Home Alone

Don’t worry! I didn’t forget about little Kevin like his family

did! Home Alone is such a classic and well known Christmas

movie that stands the test of time year after year after year.

(Only the first in the series though...the others are simply not worth

my time. lol) Merry Christmas ya filthy animals.

December 20th: Elf

“SAAANNNNTTTAAAAA!” That is honestly the first line

that pops into my head whenever I think of this movie. Lol

I would have to say this is probably my brother and I’s Christmas

movie. We watched it all the time when we were kids!

December 21st: Christmas with the Kranks

I don’t know how accurate this memory is, but whenever

I think of Christmas with the Kranks I think of watching it for

the first time at my Uncle Gail’s house with my family and

having to stop the movie because of a tornado! Fam...help me

out….did this really happen or am I just losing it in my old age?

Lol Regardless I have loved this movie from the first moment I

watched it and it continues to make me laugh again and again

and again. (Fun fact, this movie is based on the book Skipping

Christmas by John Grisham which I read during the Christmas season

last year and would recommend!)

December 22nd: How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Live Action)

I personally like the live action version with Jim Carrey

better than the animated ones. The

sad part though is that the reason why I like it better is because

I relate more to the Grinch in this movie. “4 o’clock, wallow in

self-pity, 4:30, stare into the abyss....6:30, dinner with me. I

can’t cancel that again!” *sigh* Tell me you are an adult

without telling me you are an adult. Lol

This movie just makes me happy. It is the perfect Christmas

movie to be snuggled up in front of a fire with

your “hot, hot, hot, HOT CHOCOLATE.”
