Christmas movies are a great way to get into the Christmas spirit

Over the years, my favourite Christmas movie has changed and changed again. We all have different tastes and there is so many out there to choose from

I remember when I was young and Home Alone was on, I used to get so excited. I knew with this Christmas movie on TV he big day was close

That is still the emotion I get from a lot of the movies. I absolutely love the festivities around Christmas time, getting cosy in winter and watching a Christmas movie for me is all part of it

So in no particular order, here are my favourite ten to give you some ideas

Top Christmas Movies

Home Alone (1990)

Kevin was accidentally left at home while the rest of his family went off for Christmas vacation

He spent his time trying to fend for himself, as well as fending off burglars who had targeted his house

This is a movie I would say everyone has watched more than once as it is such a family favourite.
