What are my favorite Christmas movies? Oh, I've got a bunch! We all have at least one, right? Some of us have more than one, and that's totally cool. It's not really the Christmas season until you've seen this one movie or these several movies. It doesn't matter how many times you've seen them, you could watch them again and again. That's what this list is for me, and I'm sure some of the movies on this list will be on yours as well.

There are certain things that come along with Christmas. Shopping, snacks, Christmas music, and Christmas movies. There are some good ones, and let's be honest, there are some not-so-good ones. Then there are what we call "the classics". Those are the movies that you have to watch every year. Sometimes you just have to have them on in the background while you're cooking or opening presents.

I used to have all of these movies on DVD and Blu-Ray, and I'm sure I still do somewhere at my house. Thanks to streaming services, however, all of these movies are now just a few clicks away. Some of them are on Disney Plus, and the others are on MAX, but none of these will be hard to find if you want to watch them too this Christmas season.

This is the list of my favorite Christmas movies.

"Christmas Vacation"

This is my all time favorite Christmas movie! I watch it multiple times during the Christmas season, it never gets old. I quote is constantly during the month of December, it doesn't get better than "Christmas Vacation" for me.

"Home Alone"

As a 90s kid, of course this movie was going to be on the list! We all wanted to be Kevin McAlister back in the day. I've already watched this movie once this year, and I'm sure I'll watch it again at least a couple more times.

"Home Alone 2: Lost In New York"

If "Home Alone" is on the list, then you know the sequel is on the list too! This movie made me want a Talk Boy voice recorder for Christmas so bad that year. Thankfully I got one, and wore it out! This movie always made me want to visit New York City, which I did several years ago.

"Elf"

I'd never really watched this movie much until I met my wife. This was one of her favorite movies, and we'd always watch it every year. Well after watching "Elf", it became one of my favorite movies as well.

"How The Grinch Stole Christmas"

This is another one I'd never really watched until Kelsey and I got together. This is her favorite Christmas movie, and like "Elf", its become one of mine too.

"Jingle All The Way"

I know this movie is cheesy, but I love it anyway! I watched "Jingle All The Way" with my wife a couple of weeks ago, and she wasn't a big fan of it, so I guess I'll be watching this one solo from now on.

"A Christmas Story"

Of course this one had to be on the list. I mean they show it for 24 hours in a row every year, and I watch it for almost that long! "A Christmas Story" is usually what's on in the background while we're opening presents and stuff on Christmas.
