It’s officially Christmas time, which means it’s time to grab some eggnog, hot cocoa or maybe a big glass of wine and enjoy some good old fashioned Christmas movies. We’re not talking about the Hallmark kind, because although those have become the epitome of holiday films and they really just are not the same as classic Christmas movies.
This year, as our gift to you, we’ve created the ultimate Christmas movie list, but it’s not just any list. We’ve designed it to be an advent calendar list, so you can stay in the Christmas spirit all month long. You’re welcome! Sorry to the movies who didn’t make the list this year we’ve checked it twice.
