Top 10 (obvious) Christmas Movies to Rewatch in 2020

🎬 Top 10 Christmas Movies to Rewatch in 2020

Hello Christmas friends! 🎄 One of the best things about the holiday season is cuddling up with a cozy blanket, a mug of cocoa, and a Christmas movie marathon. And let’s be honest—Christmas movies just hit differently when the lights are twinkling and the tree is glowing in the corner.

In 2020, when we were spending more time at home, holiday movies became more than just entertainment—they were comfort, nostalgia, and a little sprinkle of magic when we needed it most. So grab the popcorn (or gingerbread cookies đŸȘ), and let’s count down 10 Christmas movies that are absolutely worth rewatching year after year.


1. Home Alone (1990)

Because Christmas isn’t complete without Kevin McCallister outsmarting the Wet Bandits. It’s funny, a little chaotic, and still heartwarming in the end.

2. Elf (2003)

“Santa! I know him!” Buddy the Elf’s childlike joy is exactly the energy we need during the holidays.

3. The Polar Express (2004)

A magical train ride to the North Pole that reminds us of the wonder of believing.

4. How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)

Jim Carrey’s over-the-top Grinch is iconic, but the message—about love, kindness, and community—never gets old.

5. It’s a Wonderful Life (1946)

A true classic that reminds us of gratitude, family, and the ways we touch each other’s lives.

6. The Holiday (2006)

Cozy cottages, holiday romance, and all the festive feels. Perfect for a December night in.

7. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (1989)

For when you need a good laugh at holiday chaos—we’ve all had a Griswold-style Christmas moment.

8. Miracle on 34th Street (1947 or 1994)

Whether you love the black-and-white classic or the ‘90s remake, this film captures the magic of Santa and belief in goodness.

9. A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)

Simple, sweet, and timeless. Plus, that soundtrack? Instant holiday mood.

10. Klaus (2019)

A newer addition, but already a favorite. Beautiful animation, a fresh Santa origin story, and a big heart.


🎁 Movie Marathon Tips

  • Make it cozy: Pajamas, blankets, and twinkling lights are non-negotiable.
  • Snack smart: Popcorn is a must, but mix it up with candy canes, cookies, or a festive snack board.
  • Make it interactive: Create a bingo card of holiday clichĂ©s (snowfall, Santa sighting, caroling) to play along.

✹ Christmas Movies = Holiday Magic

Christmas movies remind us of hope, joy, and togetherness—things we all needed a little extra in 2020, and things we’ll always need, every year. At The Christmas Club, we believe these films aren’t just stories—they’re traditions. And sometimes, rewatching them feels like coming home.

So tell us, friends—what’s YOUR go-to Christmas movie? đŸŽ„đŸŽ„
