With
all the extra time you’ll be spending with your sibs, cousins and
friends this season, you’ll probably be watching more than a few
flicks. And what better way to get in the holiday spirit than with a
festive movie? Here are some of our favorites!
It’s
a Wonderful Life (1946)
As
far as Christmas classics go, this film really is the best. If you
want a movie that’s a little deeper than the staple Frosty the Snowman movie, this is a great choice to watch with your family.
It’s one that everyone from your grandparents to your parents to
you and your sibs can enjoy!
A
Rugrats Chanukah (1992)
OK,
this isn’t a movie, but it’s one of the best Rugrats
(Nickelodeon’s old hit series) episodes ever. If you’re
babysitting younger sibs and cousins, this is a great choice because
it’s short enough that they won’t get bored and you’ll have a
small break from playing board games. Rugrats
also has a great Kwanzaa episode if that’s a holiday your family
celebrates.
A
Charlie Brown Christmas
(1965)
Your
parents probably grew up with the Peanuts and would love to watch
this classic with you. And if you and your sibs love Snoopy and his
pals, you’ll love this movie too!
Elf
(2003)
This
film stars Will Ferrell and Zooey Deschanel—before she was
famous!—and is a great comedy to watch with your friends or
cousins. Your parents probably won’t think the jokes are as funny
as you do, so save this one for a kids’ night in.
The
Year Without a Santa Claus
(1974)
It
wouldn’t be the holiday season without a Claymation movie, and this
is a great option if you’ve already seen the Rudolph series way too
many times. This film features the classic Miser brothers and the
“Snow Miser” and “Heat Miser” songs. They’re fun…but be
prepared for your younger sibs and cousins to sing them for the rest
of the night.
