The Frugal Cottage

Living the good life on a budget.

Top 10 Christmas Movies

I love nothing more on a dark winter’s evening, then watching a Christmas movie. Even better if I am snuggled up on the sofa with a nice soft blanket and a hot chocolate. My lovely secret santa buddy has sent me this for Christmas, which is perfect for a Christmas movie night!

 

Although some Christmas movies are quite cheesy, I think that it doesn’t matter! I am looking forward to watching these with Frugal Baby when he is older though he’ll probably not want to watch them with me. Some of them are a bit girly and romantic so he’ll probably refuse 😉

 

  Home Alone – you cannot have a Christmas movies list without this being on here. We watch this ever Christmas and I am looking forward to watching this with Frugal Baby soon!

 
 Miracle on 34th Street – a feel good film all about believing 🙂 do you believe?

 
 Love Actually – I love this romantic film. There are so many characters in it, but Hugh Grant and Alan Rickman are the best!

 
 A Christmas Story – what would you do to get the present you wanted at Christmas?

 
 The Holiday – another romantic story with a feel good ending. I would love to live in the little cottage that Kate Winslet’s character has!

 
 Elf – another Christmas movie that you cannot not watch at Christmas time!

 
 Polar Express – Mr FC thinks that the animated characters are too human like, if that makes sense. However, I love the music in this and think it should be on everyone’s list!

 

 

 Santa Claus The Movie – even elves can be made redundant! See how he gets his own back.

 

 

 Scrooged – a classic film about a Christmas carol and all it entails..

 
 Father Christmas – my all-time favourite Christmas movie. I love the grumpy Father Christmas portrayed in this. Plus, the music accompaniment is lovely.

 

We are hoping to have lots of relaxing days as a family over Christmas. It tends to be a busy time of year for everyone, but having a duvet day with a Christmas movie can let you escape for a while. I love watching movies anyway, so Christmas ones are perfect for this time of year.

 

What’s your favourite Christmas movie?

    Christmas it has to be It’s a Wonderful Life and Some Like it Hot. New Year, Dinner for One, from our days in Germany, it is a great tradition there. Have a good one, whatever you watch.

    I LOVE Scrooged!!!

    I don’t see Christmas Vacation on the list. Too corny for you?

    We do watch a ton of Hallmark Christmas movies. Very predictable but ok since you know it will be a happy ending!

    Really enjoyed reading your list, especially because I’ve never seen A Christmas Story, Scrooged or Santa Claus the Movie, and now I’m excited about new films to watch. Personally, I’d add Arthur Christmas and a Muppet Christmas Carol to any list of fab Christmas films.

    Though it’s nothing like the arty subtitled & obscure films I might normally watch – I love a bit of ‘Diehard’ at Christmas. A combination of Bruce Willis being a smarty-pants and Alan Rickman’s superior sneering makes it terrific – if a little sweary – fun.
    Not one to watch with little ‘uns though!
