Christmas movies have become a family tradition for many. During the weeks leading up to Christmas, loved ones snuggle up together, often armed with buttery popcorn and hot cocoa, and repeat their favorite lines along with the characters in the Christmas movie they're watching. In fact, many families have a lineup of favorite Christmas movies that they rotate throughout the holiday season. There are several movies, however, that are universally loved and make it onto most families' viewing schedules. Below are the seven best Christmas movies of all time.

>>"1951, A Christmas Carol with Alastair Sim"

A true classic! Wouldn't be Christmas without it.

A Christmas Story is a great 2-day background movie!

[Rummyfan]

It's a trite and over-exposed one, but I have to say It's A Wonderful Life is my Number 1.

Second place.... A Christmas Carol, the Alastair Sim version.

[crz]

I was going to say that but, its more of a Easter/resurrection movie to me...and a VERY good one.

[Rummyfan]

I like the THREE GODFATHERS movies with John Wayne which happens over the Christmas time.

That's a great one! Just watched it - again - last week.

[Chengdu54]

Yes. The Bishop’s Wife is my hands down favorite!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Exactly! If you're not already aware of it, here are crucial excerpts with an overlay of Josh Groban's "O Holy Night." Five minutes--sublime.

[Eddie01]

You’re right of course.

...but hand in hand...

The power of the Crucifixion drives the power of the birth.

After reading several recommendations for it on this thread, I’m adding “The Bishop’s Wife” to my list of movies to watch on Christmas. It sounds good, and it’s on amazon video.

For anyone else looking for a more off-the-beaten-track little film, I’d recommend “The Juggler of Notre Dame”. It’s a 1993 made for TV movie, only 49 minutes long, and for me captures the Christmas spirit in a meaningful way. Also available on amazon video, and free for amazon prime members.

Here is all 25 minutes of our family’s favorite.

“A Wish for Wings that Work” - with Opus the Penquin. It really is a great movie.

“Wings Santa Claus - is what I really need.”

I’ve really learned to love Daymon Runyan Theater. One of the best discoveries on XM148.

Nice they are on YT.
