ALLI
My favorite Christmas movie is The Grinch (the new version!) It doesn’t matter how many times I watch it or how old I get, it still keeps me giggling and smiling! I remember watching this with my family and with my college roommates, and I don’t know if I’ve gone a year without watching it through the holiday season.
ARIANA
My favorite movie to watch this time of year is a toss up between Christmas With The Kranks and The Polar Express! The first time I saw The Polar Express, it was at an IMAX theater, and it was the most magical experience to watch on a larger than life screen, so it brings back a lot of great memories every time I watch it! Christmas With The Kranks is the perfect Christmas movie to watch for a laugh. No matter how many times I’ve seen it, it makes me crack up!
JESS
My favorite holiday movie is Elf! I will watch this alone or with anyone who will watch with me! Anytime it’s on TV during the Holiday season, I’ll at least have it on in the background. It’s also my mom’s favorite holiday movie, so we text each other when we see it’s on TV. It’s the perfect mix of kid and adult humor, so anyone can enjoy it!
KALI
One of my favorite holiday movies is The Santa Clause. It was one of the first holiday movies I remember watching, so it has lots of nostalgia for me. It always gives me a good laugh and it’s great to watch with my whole family!
KENDRA
My favorite holiday movie is A Christmas Story. I love Ralphie and all of the characters. It’s a movie that I end up watching every year! I think it brings nostalgia and good memories from when I watched it with my parents as a kid!
KRISTA
My family loves watching The Grinch. In all its forms. The new cartoon one with my girls has become a holiday tradition! And of course you can’t not love Jim Carey’s version… because, well, Jim Carey.
MAKENZIE
My favorite Christmas movie is a tossup between The Santa Clause and The Santa Clause 3. These were movies that I watched growing up, and I feel like they represent the magic of Christmas so well. Anyone who knows me knows that I’m quite the Christmas nut. This season is my favorite time of the year, and watching The Santa Clause movies by the fireplace with my mom and a hot chocolate with extra marshmallows is such a special feeling!
NICOLE
I have so many holiday favorites, but in the last few years it has been a tradition to watch Little Women! It premiered in theaters December 25th, 2019 and my sisters and I all went to see it that night during a Christmas blizzard. The movie actually begins and ends with the March girls celebrating Christmas together and reflecting on what it means to be a family. It was super special to me to watch Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy go through life together and learn how to value each other for who they are with my own sisters by my side. To this day, it’s one of my very favorite memories — cozy in our pajamas, eating popcorn and treats with two of my favorite people in the world, laughing + crying along with the March sisters.
PAIGE
My favorite movie to watch during the holidays is Home Alone. I love watching this with my sister and brother as we eat my grandma’s famous candy cane cookies — yes, they are shaped and colored like candy canes with a delicious almond flavor! Home Alone is one of those movies where you are guaranteed to laugh and that is what the holidays are all about!
