We love Christmas movies. We would watch them all year round if it was socially acceptable. Who are we kidding?! We do watch Christmas movies all year round. Because joy is for life, not just for Christmas.
As we love Christmas films so much we thought we would put together a list of our favourites. There are so many festive films out there that it can be hard to choose which ones to watch. This list should inspire you to seek out some excellent Christmas movies.

- Miracle on 34th Street – a classic movie with a sweet and sentimental story.
- Arthur Christmas – another fun animation and retelling of Santa Claus and his family legacy.
