December is a really special month in our house, obviously Christmas is around the corner, but also the nights are cosy and dark – so we spend a lot of time curled up on the sofa when we can. These are the best family Christmas movies we have found, and I wanted to share them with you today…
And what better way to spend sofa time in the evenings than to watch a good Classic Christmas film!
There’s something very special and magical about watching them with the children, and seeing their eyes light up in expectation and wonder, don’t you think!
(I’m a little kid at heart at Christmas as well, so I find myself being drawn in to the stories just as much as when I was little myself, it’s a great form of escaping any Christmas stress that’s brewing….!)
I couldn’t resist sharing (my favourite) the best family Christmas movies / films list with you today – and if I’ve missed one that you love then please let me know in the comments below. I love finding new films to try!

#3 – Nativity!
A brilliant english film, and so funny I laugh out loud every time I watch it. The children in this film are brilliant, and the nativity play they end up putting on is gorgeous.
This film has even been turned into a musical now – something I’d love to go and see at some point.
