If you’re anything like us, you are a big fan of the Christmas films that hit our small screens 
every year. So get your craziest Christmas jumper on, grab that special someone, pour yourselves a glass of mulled wine, snuggle up and get the remote, as we give you the lowdown of our top five festive favourites:
Love Actually (2003)
Love it or hate it (personally, we think it’s GREAT) Richard Curtis’s rom-com is so Christmassy, Santa might have even dropped down the pecking order. From quiet family bonds and singleton fun to problem love lives and grand gestures, Love Actually has every version of Christmas going.
Home Alone (1990)
This all American-classic is the highest-grossing Christmas film ever and blends slapstick comedy with tear-jerking sentimentality. We wish that Macaulay Culkin actually was eight-year-old Kevin, instead he’s now 33 (yes, really!).
The Muppets Christmas Carol (1992)
Kermit and the gang star alongside Michael Caine as Scrooge in a faithful adaptation of the Dickens Classic, with Dickens as Gonzo and Tiny Tim as a frog. What’s not to love?
Elf (2003)
Will Ferrell had his big breakout success as Buddy, a human raised as one of Santa’s Elves. He’s equally uncomfortable in the real world as in the North Pole – and has us laughing all the way through every time we see this.
It’s A Wonderful Life (1946)
Frank Capra’s feel-good classic about a suicidal man who is saved by divine intervention is one of Christmas’s best-loved and traditional flicks. It also one of the most critically acclaimed films ever made – and we can see why.
