Top holiday movies to watch with your family and friends


 
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.


What are your favorite holiday movies? Blog about it, babes.

MOD MOD MOD can you hide this Well I met this guy at a party and I kinda liked him but all my friends thought he was annoying and weird. But later he asked for my number and we started texting and he was so sweet he said I was pretty and cool and cute and he made me feel good cuz i always thought guys never noticed me. But anyways he told me he liked him and asked if I liked him back but i kinda avoided the Q because of all my friends I just said we would never see each other and I was to busy for a boy friend. But now i feel so bad I wanna just take it back and forget what my friends say but I cant I already told him that I was to busy and stuff. So do you have any advice for me???

 


Hey girlfriend, I'm super busy trying to respond to all your questions. Unfortunately I can't get to everyone, so ask some of your gal pals on here for help. There are so many chicas who are more than happy to give you advice. Thanx a bunch for understanding. x0x0 Smile

Watching the Elf is kinda a family tradition for my fam. We watch it every night on Christmas Eve to try to get them to go to sleep so 'Santa' will come. <3 it!

MOD
But again with the movie thing, its not my DVD, its theirs, so the option of not bringing it is out. Plus I tried to put it where the 8 year old couldn't reach it, but he figured it out, along with giving his lil brother a bloody nose. What do I do now? 

 

Hey girl,

 

Sounds like you may be stuck watching something you don't like. But hey, there are worse things than spending a couple hours with the fam, right?

LOVE Elf but c'mon where's A Christmas Story?? That's a CLASSIC!

Mod- So tomorrow night my mom's bf is gonna come over to our house and spend the night. Smile He's known me since I was only a few months old but I'm afraid it'll still be awkward since we don't live all in one house. Do you have any tips on how it could be a lil' less awkward? Thanks so much! Laughing

 

Hey girl, as long as you don't treat it like an awkward situation it won't be. If you think positive thoughts like "This is going to be fun" or "This is going to be great" it will be. And he's known for you so long, I'm sure he's not worried about anything. Hope this helps! Smile Smile

Mod Mod Mod Mod Mod So for New Year Eve I'm going over to my Aunt and Uncles. They have 2 daughters one is a year younger and one is 3 years old. So the older one can like drive and stuff when I still haven't started yet so she's like "better then me" in a way. The younger one is obbsessed with Facebook and she's also obbsessed with herself. SoI'm going to be bored the option of briging a friend is out. What should I do???? I don't want to waste my New Years having a horrible time!

 

Hey chicky, bring your ipod, laptop or a book. Since you can't bring a friend, see if you can go to a friend's house. Hope you have a good New Year's!! Smile Smile

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tried to watch "A Year Without Santa Claus" with the children I babysit but the oldest (8 year old) loves it while his younger twin brother+sister were scared to death of the characters. Then the oldest made fun of them and kept re-playing it to the parts where its ONLY the "snow miser" and the "heat miser". It drives me crazy, he just gets pure pleasure out of bullying his lil bro+sis, what do I do? Also, I am wondering where I can buy the "Rugrats" Kwanzaa episode on DVD. The children I will be babysitting Friday celebrate Kwanzaa and I thought it would be a treat for the little ones Smile

 

Hey girl, just be sure you take the movie out so he can't replay it. Next time maybe you could bring a selection of movies, so if they little ones get scared you can always watch something else. Try Amazon or Ebay for the Rugrats dvd. Hope this helps! Smile Smile

I've watched "A Year Without a Santa Claus", "A Charlie Brown Christmas", and "It's a Wonderful Life." I really love the Charlie Brown one and the Year Without a Santa Claus movies. Those are always some of my favorites. I also love watching "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "Santa Claus is Coming to Town."

Elf is the best Christmas movie!

by caligirl99 on 12/21/2011 4:50:28 PM

 
 

Elf. Is. The. Best. Movie. Ever! I'm talking further than the holidays; it's full of laughter, hope, Christmas spirit, and most of all - syrup.

by AlwaysDreamer on 12/21/2011 4:46:05 PM

 
 

Charlie Brown movies are awesome!

by da:DaeSHINES on 12/21/2011 4:42:47 PM

 
 

I love the movie Prancer. It's really good!

by MusicalGirl123 on 12/21/2011 4:41:20 PM

 
 

"The Gift of Love" is soo awesome, and it's even based off O. Henry's "The Gift of the Magi"!

by PinkCutiix33 on 12/21/2011 4:37:18 PM

 
 

Elf is so funny! I'm watching it in school tomorrow! <3 The other best movie is probably A Christmas Story, with Ralphie. It's hilarious!

I love Elf Laughing

by winzers22 on 12/21/2011 4:31:57 PM

 
 

I love every single one of those movies, though I have to say ELF is the best! and trust me, the song in "the Year Without Santa Claus" sure does get stuck in your head, last year it was stuck in my head for almost a week! Have a good Christmas!

by bubbles4567890 on 12/21/2011 2:24:24 PM

 
 

I haven't seen elf in a long time, or peanuts, and I've never seen a year without Santa Clause. Thanks GL.

Hey babes! Need quickie advice? Come to me, I'm honest, straight to the point, and I check my account twice a day!
No question is too embarrassing.

by soccerlover99 on 12/21/2011 12:36:02 PM

 
 

Ever since I can remember my family and I would all cuddle up together on Christmas Eve night to watch "It's A Wonderful Life." Every year I enjoy it more than the last. It's an amazing and wonderful movie about how wonderful life really is. I love it soooo much <333333

by softballgirl11 on 12/21/2011 11:53:09 AM

Yes, what about A Christmas Story? I really thought it would be on there when I looked at this. Besides, it an 80's movie. And they are the best!!!
