Christmas Classics
The holidays aren't the holidays without putting on some nostalgic films, and we've got the perfect list that will bring in the Christmas cheer and spirit. From The Polar Express to How the Grinch Stole Christmas, you're bound to laugh, cry, and everything in between. Here are five classic Christmas movies to watch with your family.
1. The Polar Express
One of the most classic movies that's a must-watch come Christmastime is The Polar Express, where kids are taken on a magical train ride to Santa's home, the North Pole. No matter how many times you replay this movie, it'll still leave you in awe every time.
2. Home Alone
Want a movie that'll make you laugh out loud? Then Home Alone is the one you'll want to put on. From iconic quotes to the hilarious traps Kevin sets up, you're in for a wild ride as an eight-year-old shows you what it's like to have fun (and chaos) when he's mistakenly left at home at Christmas.
3. How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Sure, it might not be the best idea to put on How the Grinch Stole Christmas when you have young kids around, but it'll still make for a fun (and slightly teary) watch. Plus, for more holiday spirit, why not dress up as the Grinch himself?
4. Elf
Hate it or love it, Elf is another classic that's worth a watch during Christmas. Sure, the premise might seem absurd, but it'll guarantee a good laugh and some fun holiday spirit. You might even want to have some dessert spaghetti while you watch.

5. A Charlie Brown Christmas
It's not Christmas without putting on a Charlie Brown classic, so if you're looking for a perfect movie to watch, this is it. So, sit back, relax, and let the Peanuts gang show you the true meaning of Christmas.
