Christmas time is the time for love, joy, family and humor. Elements of which all these movies portray really well. So go grab the DVDs and your loved ones for a great holiday movie marathon!
However, younger children in the household who might prefer Christmas cartoon movies and animations will fare better with movies such as Polar Express, Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas, The Muppet Christmas Carol, Barbie in the Nutcracker and The Little Einsteins: The Christmas Wish.
