Now that Christmas is almost here, I am really upping my Christmas movie watching game! I love spending the last few weeks before Christmas watching all the best Christmas movies to really get in the spirit!
My favorite movie of all time is “It’s a Wonderful Life”, so that’s a definite watch for me. But there are so many others I love that I decided to make a list of the best Christmas movies to watch this season. And I’m sharing that with you today!
I separated this list into a category of movies that are best for kids, and the others are better for older kids or adults. Feel free to print out the printable lists! With a little less than two weeks until Christmas, I’m going to work my way through as many movies on this list as I can!
