    Scrooged.

    Just so packed with knock out one-liners, plus the monologue Bill Murray gives at the end is incredible.

    Classics:

    • Holiday Inn
    • White Christmas
    • Christmas in Connecticut
    • It’s a Wonderful Life
    • Miracle on 34th Street (original)

    I love The Man Who Invented Christmas, because I’m a sucker for Dan Stevens, and a follow up with The Muppets Christmas Carol is the best.

    It may be predictable, but A Christmas Story. I grew up with it and the 24 hour marathon with my parents and for the most part we still keep the tradition alive with my family. Wrap gifts to it, open gifts to it, waiting to eat dinner and still watching it. Of course you only see snip its throughout the day so its not like I see it 20 times, but more likely around 4 times in a year.

    The Polar Express is the only one I usually watch for Christmas. I don’t watch a ton of holiday movies but that one brings back memories as a kid.

    The Man Who Invented Christmas has quickly become a favorite. I’ve always been a sucker for A Christmas Carol and love every iteration of it. Especially the Muppets and Scrooged. But this is a new take on it with the focus on the writing of the book. “And Tiny Tim who DID NOT die…”
