Christmas Film Favourites | Blogmas (Day 1) 2017 ♡

Welcome to Blogmas :)

I hope you enjoy all the posts I have prepared for you over the run up to Christmas ! I have some exciting things, Recipes, Gift Guides, Christmas Planning and Beauty bits which I am so excited to share it with you all. I hope you are enjoying the run up to Christmas, not long to go!!!

Settling down with a cosy cuppa, wrapped in fluffy blankets and brand new pyjama's watching Christmas films is one of my favourite ways to spend evenings in December. Bruce and I have a ridiculous amount of Christmas film favourites and today I want to share a few of our personal favourites with you guys.

First up, The Polar Express. This is a classic, magical film that all children should watch at this time of year. The story follows a young boy who wakes up on Christmas Eve to discover the Polar Express waiting for him outside his home. He then embarks on an epic journey to the North Pole where he learns that Santa is so worth believing in.

Jack Frost is one of my childhood favourites that I rediscovered last year. This film is an emotional roller coaster but brilliantly funny at the same time. Musician Jack Frost is on the verge of making the big time but realises he's missing out on time with his wife and son. In an effort to spend time with his family he leaves his gig in the middle of a snow storm and sadly never makes it home for Christmas. Jack then magically returns one cold winters night to become one of the coolest dads ever.

Jingle All The Way is another of my childhood favourites. This was one I watched when I was tiny and only rediscovered it last Christmas. Im not a huge Arnold fan, but he's bloody brilliant in this one! The film follows a father who has promised his little boy a Turbo Man action figure for his Christmas (the most popular toy this year) and ends up in a crazy quest to try and find one in time for Christmas. Its full of laugh out loud  moments thats great for the whole family. 

Again, Miracle on 34th Street is one I watched nearly every Christmas as a kid. This is a wonderfully heat warming film that without fail has me tearing up. Richard Attenborough is just one of those actors that brings so m much warmth to the big screen. Little Susan is starting to doubt that Santa Clause is real. After meeting a special department store Santa who swears he is the real thing she starts to come round to the idea and begins to believe again.

The Holiday is possibly my absolute favourite. Its so heart warming, funny and I can watch it over and over again...which I do! Its the story of two heartbroken women who swap houses for the festive season in an aim to find happiness again. Its a brilliant feel good festive movie starring Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, Jude Law and Jack Black.

Nativity is one of those Christmas films that fills you heart with so much warmth its almost impossible to watch and not fall in love with. The film follows primary teacher Mr Maddens
who has been given the job of creating the schools musical nativity to compete with the posh schools christmas show. It all goes wrong for him when he boasts that his ex-girlfriend is a hollywood producer is going to come and see the play to turn it into a film, but they haven't spoken in years! For me is one of the funniest films, the children are brilliant and you fall in love with the characters.

Elf, a classic that everyone enjoys at this time of year. Buddy the Elf realises that he dosen't fit in with the other elves at the North Pole and decides to venture to the big city to find his real dad. Its absolutely hilarious that we find ourselves quoting from all the time. Two years ago I saw the musical/stage show of Elf and it was phenomenal. Highly recommend seeing it if it tours near you.

The Grinch is a film that everyone should see. Its weird, wonderful and hilarious. Whilst the Whos of Whoville are frantically preparing for Christmas, they are unaware that The Grinch is determined to put a stop to it once and for all. Its not until he begins to realise that the true spirit of Christmas goes beyond tinsel and toys that he starts to rethink his bah humbug outlook on life.

So there you have it, a wee glimpse of our collection and a few of our favourites. A few more to mention that I love but we don't own is Arthur Christmas, Home Alone 1 & 2, A Christmas Carol and The Nightmare Before Christmas and theres so many more!

All available on Amazon and I have saved you the time and linked them all!

Hope your having a lovely festive season.

See you tomorrow,
