Welcome to my Review of Some Great Family Christmas Movies

Christmas movies are a perfect way of bringing the family together, a great way of making memories too! Watching a great Christmas movie together after a Christmas morning of eggnog and breakfast quiche is a delightful way to spend Christmas afternoon. Often the adults and kids are ready to settle into a great holiday movie, while the turkey is cooking and you have a few moments to relax before the big dinner. Most of these Christmas movies that I'll show you here are appropriate for all ages but there may be a few that you may not want very young kids to view. Some classics and some that may be new to you, all very good! Enjoy!

3) A Charlie Brown Christmas

Great Family Christmas Movies

One of my all time favourite Christmas movies, A Charlie Brown Christmas is based on the comic strip 'Peanuts' by Charles M. Schultz. Charlie Brown finds himself in a saddened state at Christmas time, overwhelmed by the commercialism of the season. He begins searching for the true meaning of Christmas. His buddy 'Linus' and Charlie Brown set out to buy a big shiny Christmas tree for the Christmas pageant, instead Charlie Brown brings back a spindely, living Christmas tree. Lucy and the peanuts gang are not pleased with Charlie Browns decision and they let him know! In the end the tree is saved and Charlie Brown realizes that he doesn't have to let commercialism ruin his Christmas! A great family Christmas movie.

My boys loved watching this movie, 'The Santa Clause' over and over again when they were little! Starring 'Tim Allen' in this Disney production. The movie is about a man (dad) Scott Calvin, who finds himself destined to become Santa Clause, once he puts on the 'red suit' he is the real Santa Clause. He begins to grow a beard, a jolly belly and begins to fill out the suit. Once he realizes there is nothing he can do to get out of being Santa Clause he starts to fulfill all his duties. HIs little son Charlie, plays a big role in this adventure too... another great Christmas movie!

    Love you list! I made a similar lens our family's favorite Christmas movies yesterday. I would really like to know how you got the movie clip into your lens. I'm new at this and could use some help with putting movie trailers onto my lens. Thanks!

    Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer, the one with the Burl Ives theme song, brings me back to childhood - along with Charlie Brown and Frosty The Snowman.. Those toys have seen a comeback recently, the misfit toys from the Island and that snowmonster that used to terrify me when I was little. You should put that one up too! Jim Carrey's Grinch is fantastic of course. When I lived in England, watching films was an integral part to Christmas and Boxing days.. Great lens - 5 stars!
