25 Festive Flicks to Jingle All the Way
When I first met my husband, and he proudly declared that "Die Hard" was his favorite Christmas movie, I admit, I raised an eyebrow. Fast forward 8 years, and I've become a true believer. Yippee-Ki-Yay! Luckily, he shares my love for a wide range of Christmas movies – from the magical to the cheesy, and even the so-bad-it's-good ones that bring a hefty dose of nostalgia. Every holiday season, we dive into our shared list of go-to holiday flicks for family and after-bedtime movie marathons. Whether we're laughing at the timeless slapstick in "Christmas Vacation" or getting teary-eyed over the heartwarming tale of "It's a Wonderful Life," these films never fail to give that extra dash of holiday joy!
