Top 10 Snuggly Family Christmas Movies

November 25, 2013 | 9 Comments

It’s almost Christmas, Santa Claus and his elves are coming! We have put together 10 of the best Family Christmas movies that we have always loved to watch as a family in the run up to the big day itself.

The final run up to Christmas can feel rather lengthy for children, at very least, the excitement and nervous seem to make them unable to relax on an evening. I suppose in some cases, just not knowing If they are on the naughty or nice list may get the better of them! This year we are putting together lots of Christmas ideas to keep the whole family entertained. There are so many films we love to watch, but the one below will most certainly give you that special warm fuzzy feeling inside and help you remember the amount of family fun to be had during the festive season. So as the cold nights draw in getting into the Christmas spirit is actually really easy. Snuggle up, sit tight and watch one of the below family Christmas Movies.

    I love The Muppets Christmas Toy which was an extra DVD that came with another Muppets film we bought. I’ve never met anyone else who has seen it!! It’s a bit like Toy Story with the main toy character being jealous of the new arrival, a space queen doll called Meteora! Although it was made about 20 years earlier! x
