Holiday Movie Post

[Jalapeñomel]

Since I’m home, I already started watching holiday movies. Tell me what you always watch and what you’re looking forward to this year.

Highly recommend 8-Bit Christmas on HBOMax. Neil Patrick Harris narrates how he got his Nintendo in the late 80s to his daughter.

[seeyalater52]

I need to figure out how to watch Lifetime movies on streaming because there is not one but TWO new lesbian Christmas movies. What a time to be alive!

[HoneySpider]

We always watch Planes, Trains and Automobiles the night before Thanksgiving. Once the kids are asleep it's movie and beer time!

[ssmjlm]

I’ve already watched The Holiday once. I’m sure I will watch it several more times.

I’m also a sucker for the Prince for Christmas movies on Netflix.

White Christmas if I can find it.

Love Actually (flame if you must)

[VillainV]

We watched Home Sweet Home Alone and it was really cute. I don’t care for the original Home Alone movies, but this one will probably become a family favorite. It streams on Disney+ (as do the other HA movies).

We also watched Elf.

[verycontrary247]

Love Hard on Netflix was hilarious.

[pierogigirl]

So many.

A Christmas Carol (1999 with Patrick Stewart)
It's A Wonderful Life
White Christmas
Klaus
Miracle on 34th St. (the Natalie Wood one)
A Charlie Brown Christmas
Yes, Virginia
Elf
Scrooged

A Muppets Christmas Carol is my go to every year. Also, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

[Jalapeñomel]

Oh, I added Noelle and The Night Before to my annual watching party.

[konapoppy]

I grew up on white Christmas but now that I better understand some of the racism in it 😬

We will watch Elf

The nine lives of Christmas has a sequel this year, so I’m looking forward to that

Christmas in Harmony was good

[meowmaps]

I love this movie any time of year but Bridget Jones’s Diary fits the bill.

[CurlyQ284]

I watched Love Hard and Holidate on Netflix and enjoyed them both. I've never been one of the Hallmark Christmas movie people (and we don't have cable now anyway) but Netflix is recommending a bunch of similar Christmas romance movies and I plan to watch ALL OF THEM.

We used to watch Holiday Inn a lot when I was a kid. My parents explained to me why the parts were racist. I don’t feel okay watching it anymore.

Ion shows Christmas movies on the weekends. I don’t have cable either so between Ion and Netflix I can find a good variety.

Is this the one where Ryan Reynolds wears a fat suit?

Yes. Are we about to be cancelled for it?

[katfco]

seeyalater52 what are the titles? DD will be thrilled.

For me, I always watch Muppet Christmas Carol, Miracle on 34th St, Bundle of Joy (a Debbie Reynolds classic), Scrooge if I can find it, and both the Grinch movies— cartoon and Jim Carey.

[mcmel]

We’ve already started the Harry Potter series. We will also watch Christmas Vacation, Elf, The Grinch (Jim Carrey), Frosty the Snowman, and Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer.

Love the Princess Switch movies on Netflix. There are 3 of them now.

Lifetime is available on Hulu, Sling TV, Philo, Vidgo, Frndly TV, and DIRECTV Stream.

This is what I found on Google.

[isabel]

No real advice.

We just watched the newer animated Grinch for the first time this season (not for the first time, just so far this year) and I just love that movie so much. I will happily watch it every weekend from now until Christmas.

[W.T.Faulkner]

It’s A Wonderful Life will always be my favorite.

[pumpkin]

I tend to check out all the Lifetime and Hallmark movies. And White Christmas is probably my favorite Christmas movie of all time.

Frndly TV!  I subscribed for the month and they just added Lifetime. The app itself is a little janky, but I've been able to record stuff and watch on demand and live.

[sicilygirl]

The Family Stone is my favorite.
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation
The Holiday
Best Man Holiday
Fred Claus
Elf
White Christmas
It’s a Wonderful Life
Perfect Holiday
Polar Express

I watch so many lol.

Newer ones I’ve liked are Jingle Jangle and Klaus on Netflix.

My kid has been obsessed with it since he was tiny and I LOVE it. It's so underrated. It's great!
