Muppets Christmas Carol I love the Muppets and this film definitely adds to my list of reasons why I love them. They’ve taken classic stories and made them enjoyable for ages. The Polar Express Anytime Tom Hanks is in a film you know it’s going to be amazing but that’s just not why this was amazing. Yes, Tom Hanks was perfect but so was the animation and the story line. The Polar Express isn’t just a children’s movie. It is Christmas. A Christmas Story Spawning millions of Tshirts, quotes, and holiday laughs. A Christmas story marathons on T.V. or on your own are necessary for every holiday season. Which is mainly why I love it so much. It brings the family together. Adam Sandler’s Eight Crazy Nights While this is animated this is more geared towards an older audience. Teenagers on up to be exact. Don’t see it short though. Eight Crazy Nights is one of the more underappreciated holiday films. You rarely see it on lists and rarely hear it discussed but it’s still amazing and still deserves a watch. Playlist 1.
