8. Frosty the Snowman

  • The Christmas carols brought to you by frosty and his pals will have you and your family tempted to head outside and build a snowman of your own. So much fun!

9. The Santa Clause

  • Tim Allen’s adaptation of jolly Santa takes an overly-masculine father and brings a sensitive side to his gruff demeanor.

10. A Christmas Story

  • Any list involving holiday movies isn’t complete without this all-time classic. A story about a kid looking for the perfect gift, your children, or even yourself, will easily identify with Ralphie and the journey he undertakes.
