What are some nice Christmas Themed Movies to watch with Kids?
My niece & nephews are coming by our home this Christmas and one of our bonding moments will be watching some Christmas Themed movies. And some of the movies we've already watched over & over like Home Alone Series & Frozen.
So, can you recommend which Christmas Themed Movies are nice to watch this holiday season? thanks

Christmas with the Kranks.
Just kidding, fucking never watch that monstrosity. Personally my family and I usually watch Nightmare Before Christmas, the 2 Charlie Brown specials and Rudolph every year, meanwhile the 2nd and 3rd Harry Potter films have some Christmas themes at certain parts of the film. The Santa Clause trilogy isn't half bad, with the 3rd being the weakest. There are multiple cartoon Christmas specials, the Spongebob ones are great and most of the Cartoon Network ones are alright. And you should watch the Star Wars Christmas Special. It's not good by any means, it actually quite awful, but it's one of those "So bad it's hilarious" kind of things, if you can survive the 12 minute scene where a computer is telling a wookie how to build a thing that is.
Home Alone, and Home Alone 2. Grew up with those films, and they're perfect Christmas films to watch with the kids.
The Polar Express and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe are definite musts.
Kids gotta grow up some day...
This can be their introduction to the amazing world of adult Christmas films.
The Santa Clause trilogy is really fun to watch.
"Bad Santa", "Die Hard", "Krampus", "Christmas Evil", "Santa's Slay", "Silent Night, Deadly Night".
I'll be a good father one day.
Gremlins.
While it may be more geared for Easter, Dreamwork's Rise of the Guardians has a fantastic approach to Jack Frost.
I loved those movies.
A christmas carol, that's a classic fir christmas.
Either the one in 3D, either the one with Disney's characters.
Fred Claus is pretty gud...
When I was young, I liked watching the Disney version of A Christmas Carol (not their CGI movie, but the older animated version with Mickey). Depending on their age, they might like that.
My family really likes watching Christmas with the Kranks, The Polar Express, and the Jim Carrey version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas (I don't know why.)
However, I enjoy watching films like Home Alone, Die Hard, A Christmas Story, any rendition of A Christmas Carol, and Boris Karloff's version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. I really want to see Arthur Christmas, Miracle on 34th Street, and It's a Wonderful Life too.
What's wrong with Christmas with the Kranks?
Black Christmas...
Elf with Will Ferrell.
Someone beat me to the punch. Definitely want to show the kids that.
That's a great one. I was watching it yesterday.
Tokyo Godfathers was a really good Christmas film, although since it was never dubbed that would require some reading.
Honestly I don't watch too many Christmas movies anymore unless they come highly recommended.
The Year Without a Santa Claus (1974)
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)
Santa Claus Is Comin to Town (1970)
Jack Frost (1979)
The Little Drummer Boy (1968)
A Christmas Story
I always would watch A Christmas Story with my mom before Christmas when I was younger.
That's all. :P
Mickey's Christmas Carol It's short, but a true classic to be honest. I think it's only a half hour long but to be honest it blows that CGI Disney's Christmas Carol out of the water without even trying. Scrooge Mcduck became so popular from this film that he ended up getting his own TV series during the 1990s. lol
