Christmas Movies: The Next 9

 Tis the season for Christmas Movies.

There are so many movies out there that Chris and I began watching the movies before Thanksgiving this year so that we would not go into complete Christmas overload. 

I ranked my top 10 all time Christmas movies last year. I reviewed the what I wrote and stand by it. I expect to complete viewing each of the movies in my Top 10 today or tomorrow by watching The Holiday (2006) and then It's a Wonderful Life (1946)

I realized that in reviewing the list that I had forgotten to consider one of my true favorites, a made for TV movie, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964). No, it doesn't crack my top 10, but I realized that I may need to continue into my next ranked favorite Christmas movies. 

And so, here are my next 9 favorite Christmas movies. Since I had a tie at 10 last year, I'm beginning at 12.

12. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)

13. Red One (2024)

14. A Christmas Story (1983), Yes I enjoy the movie

15. The Christmas Chronicles 2 (2020)

16. The Claus Family (2020)

17. Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992)

18. The Santa Clause 2 (2002)

19. The Knight Before Christmas (2019)

20. White Christmas (1954)

And there it is. My top twenty Christmas movie list is complete. Obvious absences are Elf and any of the Grinch movies, although I do enjoy the Boris Karloff version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, but it was a short TV show and not a full movie. 

Happy Watching!
