When it comes to the holiday season, the one thing we can all count on are amazing movies. And thankfully we have plenty of Christmas movies to choose from. Here are our top 25.

The holidays might be about goodwill to all and being grateful for what we have, but there is a lot more to this season of giving than just the way we feel. From gift giving to entertainment, the holiday season is packed with ways we celebrate, and this includes watching the perfect Christmas movies.

There are some movies that sit as the ultimate classics of the season, while others are less appreciated, and yet still worthy of a watch. And while there are Christmas movies we always expect to see on compilation lists featuring top watches of the season, with our list of 25 must watch movies, we tried to change it up a bit.

Sure, this list includes some of the most iconic Christmas movies ever released, but there are also some on this list that deserve so much more love than they seem to get. After all, just because a movie was not released in theaters, that doesn’t mean it isn’t worthy of our attention.

Besides, there are some new holiday movies streaming now that actually are as much fun as we could have hoped for. And of course, there are plenty of those feel good movies as well.

Basically this is a list that encompasses all aspects of the holiday season, from the humor and joy to the heartwarming emotions and touching moments. We all have our favorites, and perhaps with this list of Christmas movies, you will find something new to fall in love with this season.
