Yesterday’s top five favorite Christmas songs were so fun to post about that I’ve decided to countdown my favorite Christmas movies, too! Here are the five movies that I refuse to skip every year:

5. The Santa Clause

I usually end up watching this movie two or three times in December because some installment in the series seems to be playing 24/7.

4. A Charlie Brown Christmas

This is usually the first movie that I watch during the holiday season. I never miss a chance to watch a Peanuts film.

3. The Christmas Candle

I watched this one for the first time this year and fell in love with the story.

2. It’s a Wonderful Life

This. Movie. I wasn’t able to sit through the whole thing until I was 12 years old. Now, I can’t imagine Christmas without it.

1. The Polar Express

Polar Express is my #1 favorite holiday movie, which my family watches every Christmas Eve with hot chocolate and new pajamas.

Honorable mentions because I had such a hard time narrowing my favorites down to five: Home Alone, Arthur Christmas, Elf and Miracle On 34th Street.
