Which holiday films are your favorites? The Muppets Christmas Carol is probably one of my favorite holiday movies of all time. Because Muppets! The first time I watched it I thought it would be too ridiculous, but I was surprised at how well they did the story while still being very Muppetish. Actually, I don't think there is a version of
A Christmas Carol that I don't like, although I certainly wouldn't watch all of them at once.
Which holiday films have you always wanted to see, but so far have not? Oddly enough, I still haven't got around to seeing
The Nightmare Before Christmas. I'm hoping to correct that oversight next year.
Do you have any special memories of a holiday film, such as sharing them with certain loved ones, or interesting stories about them you'd like to tell? I think the only holiday films my family would watch without fail when I was growing up were
A Charlie Brown Christmas and
White Christmas.
A more recent holiday tradition is
Bundle of Joy, which is about a salesgirl at a department store who finds a baby outside a foundling home and everyone assumes the baby is hers. It's rather silly, but great fun. My older sister found it playing on TCM a few years ago and we've watched it every time it airs on TCM in December ever since.
It's a Wonderful Life is another holiday favorite I suppose, but we usually watched it in July for whatever reason, so I've never really thought of it as a holiday movie.
