Around this time of year, there is nothing better than sitting in front of your television and binge watching all your favorite Christmas movies. Many like the classics such as, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Santa Clause Is Coming to Town & of course A Christmas Story.
But for some reason I have always enjoyed the movies many people never talk about. So here are my top 5 favorite Christmas movies of all time…
# 5 - 'Christmas with the Kranks'
A married couple decides to skip everything Christmas because they want to spend some time in the Caribbean. How can you go through the holidays with no tree, decorations, gifts or time with friends and family? This couple is in for a rude awakening when their nosey Christmas obsessed neighbors find out that they lost their holiday cheer.
#4 - 'Jack Frost'
A family friendly movie about a deceased Father coming back to life as a snowman to spend the holiday season with his son. He must make every second count because winter is coming to an end and we all know what happens to snow when it gets warms outside.
#3 - 'Home Alone'
How did they forget this young boy at home all by himself during the holiday season? As much as I love this movie, I always think to myself “How bad of a parent could you possibly be to not make sure your kid is with you at all times?” Either way, Home Alone is a Christmas classic & it should always be on the must watch list during the holiday season.
#2 - 'Die Hard'
Stop lying to yourself, we all know Die Hard is one of the best action packed Christmas movies of all time! Yippee-Ki-Yay…
#1 - 'Jingle All The Way'
Oh yeah, I said it…Jingle All The Way is the greatest Christmas movie of all time & this is not up for debate because this is pure fact! Arnold Schwarzenegger aka The Terminator, takes on the role of a work obsessed husband and Father who puts off getting his son the one thing he wanted for the holidays, a Turbo Man action figure. Unfortunately this is the hottest thing on the market & finding one on Christmas Eve is impossible. This movie is filled with some of my favorite Arnold quotes of all times such as “Put the cookie down…NOW” & “its Turbo time!” Honestly, I don’t know why Arnold didn't receive an Oscar award or maybe a life time achievement award due to this brilliant acting performance in Jingle All The Way. ;)
