25 Days of Christmas Movies: Die Hard

I’ve never seen Die Hard before- but I think it counts as a Christmas Movie. I don’t think this movie would have worked as well if it didn’t take place on Christmas because I think Hans Gruber used the Christmas Party as part of his plan. I also think it was part of John McClain’s motivation- he wanted to make sure all of the employees were able to make it home for christmas. This is also just a great action movie- it has a little bit of everything you could want in an action

25 Days of Christmas Movies: Elf

Now one of my favorite movies that I watch every year! Elf! I love this movie and I would watch it and laugh any time of the year- but it is a very magical Christmas movie for sure! This time when I was watching it I just kept thinking how Buddy kept getting himself into situations that just get him beat up. First he tried hugging the racoon, second he got beat up by the fake santa for pulling his beard off- and last he got beat up by Peter Dinklage for calling him an Elf. Bu

25 Days of Christmas Movies: Rankin Bass Movies!

So I don’t know if I have all the Rankin Bass movies to watch- I know they have a lot I’ve never really seen or heard of… so I’m just going to do the ones I kind of grew up with- and the ones I can find/ watch. Santa Clause is Coming to Town They just showed this on ABC last night- but I also think I own this one somewhere. This is the one with the origin story of Santa that shows everything about him. I liked how this answers the questions of how Santa started. It doesn’t re

25 Days of Christmas Movies: White Christmas

This is an old fashioned movie and it was one of my grandparents favorites and i’ve never really watched the whole thing… and I still didn’t pay that much attention to it- but it’s a cute musical with some funny scenes. The songs in this are all really great too- White Christmas is obviously the most memorable one- but there are so many numbers that are really great and most of them are wintery/ christmasy and they’re all really good. My favorite song is when they’re on the t

25 Days of Christmas Movies: The Family Stone

I hadn’t seen this movie since it was released and I was really young back then so a lot of the movie kind of went over my head… but I remembered it being sad and kind of uncomfortable. I much preferred watching it this time around! So I don’t really like Meredith- Sarah Jessica Parker’s character and I could understand that she felt out of place in this family and alone on Christmas… but at the same time I don’t think she did a great job making an effort to fit in or be nice

25 Days of Christmas Movies: Christmas Vacation

This is one of my favorite Christmas Movies! I used to watch this movie all year long cause they do air it often when it’s not Christmas - but i’ve kind of stopped to just watching it around the holidays… but it is a really funny movie that i’ll watch different times throughout the holiday season! I feel like I always notice something different whenever i see it and there’s always a funnier part in the movie. This time- like the first time i watched it- i think my favorite pa

25 Days of Christmas Movies: Ernest Saves Christmas

This is a movie I owned on VHS as a kid- and I don’t remember if I ever actually watched it or not… but I remember my mom telling me how funny the Ernest movies were and I really wanted to watch this one. It was also cool for me when I was little because it was the first time I heard of someone saving Christmas. Especially a regular person. Watching the movie actually though… I didn’t not enjoy it but the plot as a Christmas movie is a little bit weak and I don’t think they r

25 Days of Christmas Movies: Christmas With The Kranks

This is another movie I don’t watch every year- but maybe I should. It’s a little bit weird but it’s funny and it’s cozy and I’ve seen it enough times that I can watch it without having to pay too much attention to it… which I enjoy sometimes. Anyway this is a movie where Jamie Lee Curtis and Tim Allen play parents that are suddenly empty nesters dealing with the fact that their only daughter won’t be coming home for Christmas. And the town that they live in is a little bit o

25 Days of Christmas Movies: A Christmas Story

One of my favorite Christmas Movies when I was a kid I had kind of gotten tired of as an adult… it isn’t bad at all but there are so many Christmas movies that I like a little bit better that this one hasn’t been as much on my every year must watch list… but I think it might go back on there. It’s pretty funny, it’s iconic and I think it’s a pretty perfect Christmas movie. So my favorite thing about this movie is that it’s about the days leading up to Christmas and the excite

25 days of Christmas Movies: The Santa Clause Trilogy!

I enjoy these movies- but they aren’t really my favorite and I don’t watch them all every year. I think usually I try to watch one of them a little bit- but it is a good trilogy. I think all the movies have their problems- but they’re all good in their own way. The Santa Clause So this one starts the movies and it’s a little weird and a little sad because it seems like Scott becomes Santa after another Santa dies and he takes the suit from him for no real reason. This one set

25 Days of Christmas Movies: The Mickey Mouse Christmas Movies

Okay- I really like watching these movies every year. If it was available anywhere I would throw Snowed in at The House of Mouse in here too... but it is not on Disney Plus. Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas This has 3 mini stories following Mickey and Minnie, Goofy and Max and Huey, Dewey and Louie and their family. And each of the stories are different from each other- but they are all familiar Christmas stories with a fun Disney Twist. The first one has Huey, Dewey and Louie

25 Days of Christmas Movies: Jingle All The Way

This is one of the earliest movies I remember seeing in theaters as a child and I feel like I saw a totally different movie than what I just watched today… but it is in fact the same movie. So for some reason I remember this movie having Arnold Schwarzenegger as the actor that plays Turboman on the show and his son didn’t know that… but that’s not what happens in the movie at all. This movie is just about a Business Man who is also a dad who needs to find his son the hottest

25 Days of Christmas Movies: Love Actually and The Holiday

So I wanted to do a 3 movie watch of The Holiday, Love Actually and The Family Stone... but I think that might be difficult to watch now and I'm a little behind on my movies for this... so if I don't combine it with another movie- I may review it in my 25 Days of Rom Coms- which I will have leading up to Valentine's Day. Anyway these are 2 of my favorite movies ever- I'm sure I've reviewed them before on this blog... but I will again! Love Actually So this is an anthology mo

25 Days of Christmas Movies: Spirited and Scrooged

Today I have 2 slightly modern retellings of A Christmas Carol. Both of these movies I saw for the first time last year too- and I’ll probably continue to watch them every year. Spirited Spirited shows the organization of ghosts behind A Christmas Carol trying to work on an Irredeemable person- an executive named Clint played by Ryan Reynolds. Will Ferrell plays the Ghost of Christmas Past- who is also Scrooge or who Scrooge was based off of. I’m a Ryan Reynolds fan- I still

25 Days of Christmas Movies: Noelle and Dashing Through The Snow

Okay- so now we have two new-ish Disney+ Christmas Santa movies. One that I think I’ve watched every year since it came out and one I’ve meant to- But it hasn’t been as much of a priority. Noelle Okay so this is a cute movie- I really liked it when it came out and I watched it a few times- but I haven’t seen it in years. I like this one! Anna Kenderick plays Santa’s daughter and her older brother is supposed to be Santa this year- after their father passed away. He gets stres
