There’s a chill in the air and lots of deals in stores. Yep, we’re in the Christmas season. And to celebrate, the Disc Dish editors have compiled our list of top 25 Christmas movies. But to keep in the Christmas spirit — and celebrate one of the favorite parts of my childhood — we’ve put them in an Advent calendar and will be turning over one movie every day leading up to Christmas Day.
So, for the next 25 days, come celebrate with us right here, as each day we reveal another of our favorite Christmas movies.
Now, one note, we opted to include only movies, not Christmas TV specials, because for us, it’s a given that the old animated Frosty the Snowman
The calendar is in order of a Top 25 list, so the closer to Christmas we get, the more we love the movies. And, of course, we’ve saved our favorite for last. Any guesses what it is?
Share your own Christmas movie favorites in the comments.
And now, our Christmas Movie Advent Calendar…

Miracle on 34th Street has to be in there somewhere! And if you like quirky but passionate about the theme of Santa Claus movies, then The Nightmare Before Christmas beats out all of the other wanna-be Santa movies.
This is awesome… what will be the number one Christmas movie…. hmmm… contest?
Love The Polar Express woo hoo!
I hope SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS and SANTA AND THE ICE CREAM BUNNY are in there somewhere — two “Christmas” movies that are so bad they’re good.
Annual tradition: the original version of BLACK CHRISTMAS! (“Ho, ho, ho…s**t.”)
Honorable mention: BATMAN RETURNS (“Mistletoe can be deadly if you eat it.” Never knew that.) Tim Burton again combines Halloween and Xmas in one film.)

Where’s the chocolate?
I love the chocolate Advent calendars, Kitty!
SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT should be in there somewhere
With DIE HARD on this list for December 15, I hope DIE HARD 2 makes the cut as well. And don’t forget LETHAL WEAPON !!!!!!!
Don’t forget Surviving Christmas…too funny!
I would Love this it looks so Cool and it would make me a great Christmas Birthday gift for Me
Great suggestions, everyone. Tom, we steered away from sequels figuring the first movie in a series is good enough to honor the whole franchise, so you won’t see Die Hard 2. But there are lots of great movies to come. Stay tuned.
It’s a Wonderful Life…
