Halloween is officially over and we can now officially hear Christmas music, decorate our houses with garland, bows and lights …. and spend as much time watching those wonderful Christmas movies that take us back to our childhood. And just like I brought you my fall bucket list I will also be giving you the Ultimate Christmas Movie List for your enjoyment over this holiday season.
Cause let’s face it, there is just nothing better than getting together with your loved ones to sip hot cocoa, cuddle up in blankets by the fire and watch some good ole Christmas movies in the cold of winter.

These are awesome! My husband loves to watch Home Alone at Christmastime!
Home Alone 2 is one of my favorites! It makes me feel like a kid every time I watch it.
Yes! Also getting ready for Christmas and this list is great because I’m making a Christmas fun calendar combined advent calendar and am looking for fun things to add…what’s better than Christmas movies? Love the season!
I know right! I love this time of year and there is nothing better than watching these family movies at home. It gets me in the perfect Christmas spirit.

That’s awesome Amy! Ain’t nothing like new Christmas movies during the holidays!
Amazing list! I need to start on these now to get them all in… or some of them in!
One of my favourite Christmas movies when I was a kid was Annabells Wish. It is an animated movie about a cow who wants to become a reindeer and a boy who can’t speak. It’s a great movie.
