15 Best Ever Holiday Movies (Plus Free Bucket List Printable!)
I was listening to the radio station this morning and the DJ’s and producers were having a light-hearted argument over their favorite Top 5 Christmas movies. The challenge was that they could ONLY name 5 movies! Five Movies!
Turmoil ensued when one producer left off Christmas Vacation in favor of Polar Express, which in turn garnered this response from the other producer:
“Your list is null and void if you do not have National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation!”
….with which I completely agreed!
And it got me thinking—Is it even possible to come up with a list of only FIVE Christmas movies?
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

It’s simply not humanly possible. If you were to only list 5, your heart is probably 2 sizes too small.
(ha! See what I did there? 2 sizes too small—like the Grinch Who Stole Christmas!)
Ok, back to the list…
So what I decided is that you have to divide them into categories. That’s the only fair way to do it and quite frankly, it’s the only way to do it.
