You're sure to guess which movie made our #1 spot...
When it comes to Christmas movies, only the best will do. After all, by now, you’re probably checking your bank account and wondering how you’ll be able to ring in the New Year on a shoestring budget. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
Here’s a yuletide injection of the holiday spirit! We’ve collaborated a list of films that cover all the bases. From traditional movies, to the – well -- not so traditional.
The perfect film will set the tone for the holiday season for you and your family. And that’s why we apologize in advance for working in a movie with John McClaine – the American patriot! Without further ado, here’s the perfect list of Christmas movies.

It's the holiday classic that will make you say, “Wow, this movie is so much weirder than I remember.” But you really need to touch base with the child in you who loved this movie.
#9
This Classic TV Special is the heartwarming tale you need during the holidays. Frosty’s adorable cluelessness is contrasted by his emotional self-sacrifice. Both are touching and inspiring.
#8
Dr. Suess hits this one out of the park and the adapted for television version does the story true justice. The voice of Boris Karloff is etched into my mind as the sound of Dr. Suess.
#7
“Santa!!!! I know him! I know him!” I shout it every year at the end of the light parade when Santa comes rolling by. I haven't made it through the whole line yet without laughing.
# 6
It might be the most violent kid's movie ever but the holiday season just isn’t complete until you watch an 8-year-old take out a couple of thugs.
#5
“Are you him?.....Are you HE?” This 30-second scene, alone, will have you rolling on the floor; tears of laughter streaming down your face.
# 4
Priceless Christmas joy. The foundation of so many famous one-liners. “Fragil-lay, it must be Italian" … "you’ll shoot your eye out …” Thank you, TBS for showing it 24 hours straight every Christmas Eve.
#3
Wait, hear me out. Bruce Willis plays our hero, John McClane. John takes on the role of Santa, handing out freedom on Christmas Eve to a group of hostages. There is even a pregnant woman.
#2
Best Christmas soundtrack ever. Plus its Peanuts. They’re awesome.
#1
This isn't even a close one. This movie is so good it warrants year round watching. It gets a special viewing at least once a month. Drum roll, please………..
There's a little Chevy Chase in each of us.
If this isn't all of us every Christmas season I don't what is.
10 things you never knew about Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Why we love this movie
We work so hard to make the big family Christmas special, with a little help from Jack Daniels we almost make it, but sometimes we just mess it up.
Never fear, Christmas Vacation is here to help. It's the Godfather of Christmas, the “I Ching,” the sum of all Christmas wisdom.
The answer to any question:
How many lights do I need to decorate the house?
How do you overcome life’s obstacles?
Pull around them and leave them safely behind us.
How do I remove a rodent from my house?
Catch it in the coat, smack it with a hammer.
Where are we?
Look around you Ellen, we're at the threshold of hell.
How do you respond when you get a duplicate gift?
If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't be more surprised that I am right now.
And lastly, how to not respond when the Christmas bonus isn't quite what we were expecting...
Watching these Christmas treasures will help you have the hap hap happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tapped dance with Danny Kaye.
