The old Hallmark Christmas movies are always poignant and tender.
Hi Emme, I love all of these!
Charlie Brown, It’s a Wonderful Life and White Christmas. The old version of A Christmas Carol. I really like them all so it is hard to choose.
Barbara, Fun list! I remember listening to a woman who gave her life to Christ while watching Charlie Brown’s Christmas.
I love most Christmas movies, but Hallmark’s 2020 movie “Christmas Waltz”!was absolutely beautiful!
Thanks, Claudette, I haven’t seen that one! Adding it to my list.
Loved that one! USS Christmas was also very good!
I haven’t seen two of yours! Guess I need to get busy!
It’s a beautiful movie, a new favorite for me as well.
LOL! I found all my favorites above, but even better, some new ones to watch! Love your blog, DiAnn!

Dana, thank you so much! Have a wonderful holiday season.
“It Happened on Fifth Avenue” is one of my favorite Christmas movies.
Oh yes, how could I forget?
One of my favorite Hallmark ones with a writer is Love Always, Santa – a children’s writer is cornered by an 8 year-old, who pushes him into a meeting, she wants advice, pitches her book and is looking for a partner…
LOL! Sounds perfect to me!
It’s a Wonderful Life
Oh yes! George is so much like all of us!
Miracle on 34th Street
The Lethal Weapon Series
The Die Hard Series
The Home Alone Series
The Man Who Invented Christmas
A Christmas Carol – Animated (Jim Carrey)
Elf
The Family Stone
Christmas Shoes…I could go on…
Oh Stacey, we need a Christmas Movie Marathon.
I’m with Barbara. Love The Muppet Christmas Carol. I also love writerly movies during my days at home. We haven’t watched Finding Forrester for a while, so that might happen this year.
Finding Forrester was good! Thanks for reminding me, Nancy.
Nancy, I’d love to sit next to the TV and vegetate – but not yet!
The Muppet Christmas Carol – I practically have it memorized.
LOL, it’s a timeless movie!
