Christmas movies are a time-honoured tradition that deserves careful thought and equally careful curation. And with December 25th right around the corner (Mariah Careyโs being defrosted at this very moment), weโve put together a list of the very best seasonal flicks.
Some are straight-up classics. Some are merely set during Christmas but not explicitly about Christmas. There are definitely one or two in the mix that are tangentially Christmas-themed in subjective feel (though they serve as great transitions/great watches all the same).
Hereโs your BH-approved Christmas movies advent calendar for 2024. Note: feel free to mix the order up depending on household mood.
