Everyone
has a film or two they like to watch in the run up to Christmas, and often it’s
one you watched as a kid that stays with you for years after you first watched
it. Christmas is a great time to introduce your
kids to a few classic movies. And who knows? Maybe it’ll become a family
tradition at your place?
Here’s
our pick of the top five festive films to watch with kids. We’d love to hear about your favourites.
The Muppet Christmas Carol
(1992) –
we might be showing our age here, but who doesn’t love The Muppets? And didn’t
Dickens practically invent Christmas as so many of us know it these days? There’s jokes, singing, and Michael Caine. What’s not to like?
Miracle on 34th Street (1947) – Is he really Santa Claus? We still think he is, every time we watch it. Make Miracle on 34th Street one of your family favourites this year and every year.
Elf (2003)- Will Ferrell is simply spectacular as Elf, and there are just too many hilarious scenes in this movie to mention. “The best way of spreading Christmas Cheer is singing loud for all to hear”. Heartwarming, hilarious and magical, Elf has all the characteristics you want in a family classic.
Home Alone (1990) – 26 years later, and although this turned into a franchise, the original is still the best one of the lot. Being left Home Alone sounds like every kid’s fantasy, but in this case it quickly turns into a nightmare…..
Fred Claus (2007)– A great little movie about Santa’s underachieving brother Fred, played by Vince Vaughan. It’s worth watching just to see how magical the North Pole scenes are, complete with elves and the “Naughty or Nice” list. And of course a happy ending.
Miracle on 34th Street (1947) – Is he really Santa Claus? We still think he is, every time we watch it. Make Miracle on 34th Street one of your family favourites this year and every year.
