Have you ever wondered why we can watch some films over and over again? Maybe, because we link some pleasant experiences and memories with them? Or, maybe, because these films create the atmosphere of fun, appeasement, and joyfulness? We all have favorite films.

And what can be even better than watching our favorite films is watching our favorite Christmas films. Christmas movies are suggestive of family reunion and heart-warming gifts. They keep our faith in miracles alive, remind us of eternal values, and celebrate human merits.

So, we suggest that you check out our top picks of the Christmas films that can make your spirits bright at the most festive time of year!

# 1 One Magic Christmas

This 1985 Christmas fantasy film tells a story of a disillusioned woman, Ginny, who has lost her faith in humanity and Christmas spirit. But luckily for her, Christmas has not lost faith in Ginny. This film reminds viewers of the true meaning of Christmas: to celebrate and be thankful for what you have and not what you aspire for. One Magic Christmas reasserts the power of human faith, inspires hope, and encourages us to cherish our families, which makes it worth viewers’ attention.

# 2 I’ll Be Home For Christmas

If you are a college student, just like the main character in I’ll Be Home For Christmas you tend to miss home-made dinners, parents’ hugs, and family get-together badly. And you also desperately want to do away with tons of assignments before Christmas. If you still haven’t got professional academic help with your thesis from Edusson, it’s high time that you did it and went home to celebrate Christmas. You know that there is nothing in the world that can prevent a homesick student from celebrating Christmas with their family. Jake from I’ll Be Home For Christmas also decided to give a family reunion a shot and embarked on a long journey home, which turned into an exciting and fun adventure. You won’t regret watching this brisk Christmas comedy.

#3 Elf

It’s just criminal not to watch this Christmas fantasy comedy on the Christmas Eve. As any good old Christmas film, Elf is about giving seconds chances to those heading down the wrong path. The main character, Buddy, also tries his best to help his “naughty” father to redeem himself. If you need a portion of good laugh and festive mood, don’t hesitate to watch this movie.

#4 Home Alone

Our best Christmas film list would be incomplete if we didn’t mention good old Home Alone, which has already become a Christmas classic bringing the atmosphere of joy and festivity into every household. Some say that Christmas is not Christmas without Macaulay Culkin’s signature scream or his iconic phrases like “This is my house. I have to defend it” or “I made my family disappear.”

There is no need to dwell on the magic effect this cult movie have on almost anyone who likes Christmas. So, this year you’ll surely want to keep up the tradition of watching Home Alone during your Christmas holidays.

#5 Die Hard

If you want to spice up your Christmastime, Die Hard is just for you. This film comprises all the essential elements of a good Christmas story: wonders, celebration of family values, Christmas trees, parties, and lots of fireworks. You definite won’t fall asleep while watching this Christmas action film.

#6 Edward Scissorhands

It’s difficult to find a person who doesn’t love Tim Burton’s films. The best Burton’s classic that is worth watching and re-watching is a romantic dark fantasy film Edward Scissorhands that takes place at Christmas. The freakish-looking guy named Edward shows that good looks pale in comparison with kind heart and sincerity. Edward teaches the citizens of a provincial town love, compassion, and tolerance, and presents them with a valuable gift – snowy winters.

#7 Christmas Carol

If there are people who think that Christmas is nonsense, they should definitely meet Ebenezer Scrooge, the man who used to hater Christmas before meeting the Three Spirits of Christmas. It is a heart-warming story about a spiritual transformation of a callous heart, wish fulfillments, and forgiveness. This film will show you the limitless capacities of a human soul and help you usher in the spirit of Christmas with its renewing and purifying power into your heart. You may consider either watching old versions of this timeless classic or the most recent 2009 animated dark fantasy film directed by Robert Zemeckis.
