Favorite Holiday Chick Flick:
The Holiday. I’m not a huuuge fan of Cameron Diaz’s character, but Kate Winselet makes up for all she lacks. My favorite scene is when they’re in the movie store drinking frappuccinos.
“I like corny. I’m looking for corny in my life.”
Favorite Holiday Kid Movie:
Home Alone I & II. Ah, what a classic. I remember watching these movies every Thanksgiving evening with all of my cousins. Isn’t it funny how the holidays make you remember old times?
“Hiya, pal. We outsmarted you this time.”
Favorite Not-Christmas Movie That Always Makes Me Think of Christmas:
Little Women. Just listening to the opening music makes me feel cozy, warm, and reminds me of home. This movie is almost as good as the book.
“Go, and embrace your liberty. And see what wonderful things come of it.”
Favorite Holiday Comedy:
Love Actually. Such a great one. You may think this should be in the Chick Flick category, but my boyfriend who hates”girly movies” loves this one. My favorite couple, you ask? The one with Colin Firth, obviously.
“We need Kate, and we need Leo. And we need them now.”
Favorite Holiday Classic:
It’s a Wonderful Life. My family always watches this movie on Christmas Eve next to a fire eating something festive. It is my all-time favorite holiday movie. It’s just sooo wonderful. A close second classic is White Christmas.
“I wanna live again! I wanna live again!”
What is your favorite holiday movie?
It’s a Wonderful Life – duh! With Miracle on 34th Street close on its heels.
My absolute favourite Christmas movie is “Christmas Eve on Sesame Street”. I have to watch it every year. I used to watch it on Youtube or rent it, and last year my brother-in-law got me a copy. Best present ever! I can’t wait to watch it again this year.
My favorite is National Lampoons Christmas vacation. Rambo turned me onto it and we watch it every year with his faimly on Christmas Eve after the kiddos go to bed. I also looove White Christmas because Bing Crosbys voice is so dreamy. Good post!
Love Love Actually… never seen It’s a Wonderful Life, but being told I have to see it this year!
Ditto to all your picks!
There is no getting around it. Every guy when given the option would have to go with Die Hard. By far and away the best christmas movie ever made.
“Now I have a Machine Gun, Ho, Ho, Ho!”

This is also the movie that I watch with my family Christmas Eve. We love it. =)
I LOVE The Holiday!!!!!
My parents have this musical version of “A Christmas Carol” starring Albert Finny. It is corny and obnoxious, but it is my favorite Christmas movie of all time.
P.S. Love the new header! So cute!
–“A Christmas Story”!!!! We watch this every year :-)
I love ‘The Holiday’ too – and ‘Love Actually’. I also really like ‘The Family Stone’. Oh, I love them all. Yo ho ho x
Love The Holiday! Just watched it again last night. I agree that Cameron Diaz’s character is a bit annoying, but who cares when you have Jude Law to gaze upon!
