There's nothing like gathering the family during the holidays to watch a good old-fashioned Christmas movie! There are so many timeless classics out there, full of iconic moments we love to relive again and again!
Our researchers watched all the Christmas films ever made and found the 9 absolute greatest Christmas movie moments:
That time when John McClane throws a terrorist out the window onto a police car and says "Welcome to the party, pal!": Aw yeah, CLASSIC.
That part where John McClane puts a Santa hat on that dead German terrorist and sends him down the elevator: I HAVE A MACHINE GUN HO HO HO HO!
When John McClane has to cross all that broken glass without his shoes on, and there is nothing he can do about it, so he just walks on the broken glass with his bare feet: That was awesome.
When Snape falls off Nakatomi Plaza: One of our favorite Christmas movie moments.
The credits that come up and say DIE HARD: You can tell this is gonna be good!
The time toward the end when the FBI comes in and screws everything up: LOL they suck so bad!
John McClane jumping off the building while it explodes behind him and he's tied to a friggin' fire hose: SO SICK.
That time John saves his wife from plummeting to her death by unhooking the watch given to her by her coke-addled now-deceased co-worker: A powerful moment in which she is symbolically set free from her empty corporate ambitions to return to being a dedicated wife and mother, where her true joy is found. SWEET!
Will Ferrell fighting Peter Dinklage in Elf was pretty great: But not as cool as John McClane shooting a bad guy with a gun that was TAPED TO HIS BACK WITH WRAPPING TAPE!
There you have it! The 9 greatest moments in Christmas movie history! Which one is your favorite?
Yippee ki yay...
That is a great list. Thanks for posting.
I agree with all, but I would add the part in Die Hard where John McLane uses a sub gun to clear the roof of the Nakatomi Building thus saving all those innocent people. That was EPIC.
Yep. Yippe ki yay, plus Ralphie beats the hell out of Farkas.
The wild dogs running in and demolishing Christmas dinner and they end up in a Chinese restaurant. That was classic.
You know, Bruce Willis stated it is NOT A CHRISTMAS MOVIE!
BTW, I was also right about It’s A Wonderful Life” - Capra did not intend it as a “Christmas movie”. It is a nice biography and a nice retrospective of one’s influence in life.
A nearly-dead John Wayne sees a donkey that helps him make it down to New Jerusalem with the newborn boy.
When the Addams family pours a cauldron of hot oil in Christmas carolers.
When Jack Skellington, posing as Santa Claus, gets shot down in 'The Nightmare Before Christas'.
When the department store Santa gives Ralphie the boot in 'A Christmas Story'.
Nothing says "Peace on Earth and Goodwill to Men" like a purveyor of discord getting popped.
YES!
Dang good
“A nearly-dead John Wayne sees a donkey that helps him make it down to New Jerusalem with the newborn boy.”
Oh, I forgot to name the film: The Three Godfathers”.
When the Gremlin explodes in the microwave oven.
haha

“Shi@@ers Full”. And then “honey, have you checked our shi@@ers?”
