The Ultimate Christmas Movie Marathon Guide!

The Ultimate Christmas Movie Marathon List!

One of our favorite traditions this time of year is to make a movie fort and have a Christmas Movie Marathon!  We like to do this a week before the 25th so we can start cramming in all of our favorite movies!  We thought before we got started, it would be fun to list out all the movies we wanted to watch this Christmas season in an Ultimate Christmas Movie Marathon List!

There are always so many amazing Christmas movies to watch, but we listed our top favorites first!  Once those classics are out of the way, then we like to mix it up with some other holiday movies!

• Santa Clause Series– I love these movies! 1, 2, 3 are all so good! I put these as my number 1 because they are a go to that Jake and I watch first every single Christmas!
• Home Alone 1 & 2– Can we say classics?!  Both of these are a MUST SEE!
• Jingle All The Way–  Arnold is awesome in this movie! He plays a dad who is trying his best to make the best Christmas for his son, but he keeps failing until……….. a magical moment that wins his son over!
• National Lampoons Christmas Vacation– So many amazing quotes in one movie! This might be the only movie on this list that is not kid family.  Once the kids are in bed, this is a great movie to watch while you wrap some presents!
• Elf– Hey Buddy!! We could watch this movie over and over!  Will Ferrel is the funniest elf around!  If you haven’t seen this movie yet… go watch it NOW!
• A Christmas Story–  This movie made me want to lick a frozen pole as a kid.  If you don’t know what I mean, that means this might need to be top on your list 🙂
• Santa Paws: The Search for Santa Paws
• Santa Paws 2: The Santa Pups–
• Snow Buddies–
• Santa Buddies–  All of the Buddies videos are my favorite! They are so cheesy and cute!  If you are a dog lover, don’t miss out on Santa Buddies!

• Disney’s A Christmas Carol–
• A Muppets Christmas Carol–
• Fred Claus– If you want a refreshing comedy, this is a fun one!  It’s all about Santa Claus brother Fred and growing up with Santa as a brother. This one really shares how Christmas can be stressful for families all the same time while bringing them together!
• The Holiday– This movie was onto something before Airbnb became a hit!
• Miracle on 34th Street–
• Dr. Suess’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas Cartoon–  Max is my favorite!
• How The Grinch Stole Christmas with Jim Carry–  This is a great live action twist on the classic Dr. Suess book.  Jim Carry does an incredible job as the Grinch.
• Polar Express– Pure Christmas magic!  This movie seems to be a HUGE hit with the kids!
• It’s A Wonderful Life–  My cute dad loved this movie so it will always be a favorite of mine!
• Christmas with the Kranks– Christmas comedy fun!  Since the Krank’s daughter is not coming home for the holidays they decided to boycott some Christmas traditions.  When their daughter surprises them and lets them know 12 hours before the holidays she is coming home, the scramble to make it a perfect Christmas.
• Daddy’s Home 2– This is a movie you don’t have to see the first movie to be in the loop.  The 2nd is all about Christmas traditions and is a fun comedy for the season!  I really am a fan of this movie and it has a lot of really fun actors in it!
•  Just Friends– This is my favorite Ryan Reynolds movie. It is pretty hilarious and fun.  This movie is not for the kiddos though, but a fun Christmas movie!
• Four Christmases– Jake loves this movie!

• Rudolf The Red Nose Reindeer–
• Frosty The Snowman– Oh Frosty! He is a little cutie! This is a great short film that is fun and classic.
• The Nightmare Before Christmas– To be honest this is not one of my favorites, but I love the music so I always want to watch it!
• Planes, Trains and Automobiles–  The adventure of 2 unlikely guys who bond both trying to make it home for the holidays!  This would be another one to watch after the kiddos are in bed.
• Serendipity– A New York City romance during the holidays!
• A Charlie Brown Christmas–  This is a movie I always forget about since I did not grow up watching it, but it’s a great one!  Can’t go wrong with some Charlie Brown.
• Babes in Toyland–
• Santa Claus is Coming to Town–
• The Year Without Santa Claus–
• Deck the Halls– 2 Neighbors fight to have the best lights in town!  This is a funny, Christmas rivalry movie.
• The Snowman– If you like animated shows, this one is for you!  It’s a cute oldie but goodie!
• Harry Potter Series–  Although this may not be your typical Christmas movie pick, I feel like watching these every holiday season!  They all have magical Christmas lights when the kids are at Hogwarts over the holidays so…. they could be holiday movies to me 😉
• A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa  and It’s A Very Merry Muppets Christmas Movie– If you are a fan of the Muppets, these 2 movies are pretty fun! They both are different but based on the Muppets.
• While You Were Sleeping– This is another great romance that takes place over Christmas time.  I grew up watching this movie and it’s a fav! You could watch this anytime of the year, but the holidays are a great excuse to watch it again!  This is a great romance with a great cast, Sandra Bullock included!
• Beauty and The Beast: The Enchanted Christmas– I found this once when looking for some new movies for this time of year and bought it.  It’s actually pretty good!
• What’s New Scooby Doo?: Merry Scary Holiday– Anyone else grow up watching Scooby Doo?
• Gremlins– While we are on the subject of not so merry Christmas Movies, Gremlins would fall in that category!
