It’s time to get out the hot chocs, whipped cream and marshmallows and wrap yourself up in a blanket on the sofa. Christmas films are a staple for the festive period, so here are the top five Christmas films to watch this year.

  1. Elf

To those who say Father Christmas is just a fairytale - Buddy, the Elf would have something to say about it! Elf is a light-hearted, fun festive film for those who enjoy a heart-warming tale. Not to mention, we’re all secretly intrigued to try out Buddy’s spaghetti dish.

  1. Polar Express

Polar Express is one film that makes us wish we all get an opportunity to board the train to the North Pole one day. With the household name that is Tom Hanks, it’s a Christmas movie to always have on your must-watch list.

  1. Home Sweet Home Alone

While it may not beat the classic films with Macaulay Culkin as the lead star, Home Sweet Home Alone is a recent one that’s been added to the Home Alone franchise. It has all the classic mayhem of Home Alone but with a unique twist, that’s worth the watch.

  1. The Princess Switch

Featuring the loveable Vanessa Hudgens, a switcheroo scenario is always a winner. There are now two sequels out that make this a great series of films to binge-watch. Put it on in the background whilst you browse Instagram on your phone.

  1. How The Grinch Stole Christmas 

An undeniable classic for even those that don’t particularly love the festive period themselves. Let’s be honest, we all want to live in the town of Whoville.
