42 Best Christmas Movies You Should Watch This Season

Watching Christmas movies with family and friends ( and sometimes by myself ) is one of my all time favorite things to do during the holiday season.

I can seriously watch the same movies over and over again and never get tired of them! They’re just that dang good.

However, this year I am in the mood to find some new movies and branch beyond my bubble of the same favorites that I watch every single year. 

These movies are also perfect as gifts to throw in a Christmas gift basket for your family and friends, and to just have around the house!

I have put together a list of some of the best and classic movies around to watch this year.

Grab a cup of hot cocoa, your popcorn, and some cookies, and let’s dive in!
