Top 10 holiday movies (+ a bonus)

Although holiday music, movies and television have been running since November, I like to wait till December 1 before diving into my holiday favourites.

Here, in no particular order, are my 10 favourite holiday movies (some are set during the holidays and not so much about the holidays).

A Christmas Carol (a.k.a. Scrooge – 1951 version)

The Bells of St. Mary’s

Elf

Love Actually

The Holiday

Last Holiday

Uncle Buck

Scrooged

It’s A Wonderful Life

Miracle on 34th Street (1947 version)

A Christmas Story (Bonus listing! Thanks to Mum and Dad for letting me know that I forgot this one.)

Wishing you and yours a safe and happy holiday season—and all good things for 2022!

    Uncle Buck! I keep forgetting about that one!!! I need to see if I still have it! It’s my all-time favourite John Candy movie.

    Great movie list. Forgot about Uncle Buck. Gosh I miss John Candy. And Elf, I giggle just thinking about this movie!

      Thanks, Les – glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, so many of us are missing John Candy. Uncle Buck is my favourite movie of his. Think I may have missed Elf this year. I think it may have aired on network TV in November and now on streaming services.
