After covering some Christmas DVDs in detail on this site it’s time to settle back and rediscover what’s the real deal about Christmas DVDs. It’s the part of doing it together with someone you love. Tina Porter from The Christmas Domain wrote a great article about what’s special for her:

For some people, Christmas movies are as much a part of the holiday tradition as putting up the tree and opening presents. There is no better way to get into the holiday spirit than to curl up on the couch with a big bowl of popcorn to watch them with your family. Whether you prefer the old classics or the more recent films, you are almost certain to find Christmas movies that everyone in your family can enjoy. 

No matter how many years go by, the old classic Christmas movies remain popular. Some of the favorites include Miracle on 34th Street, A Christmas Carol, A Christmas Story, and White Christmas. While many of them have been redone using different actors and slightly varied story lines, they still hold the same charm. They really are a must see if you have never watched them.

In more recent years, there have been a slew of new Christmas movies released that have become just as popular as the classics, if not more so. Santa Claus the movie, ELF, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and Home Alone are just a few of the more recent favorites.

Although they are not considered Christmas movies per se, the classic animated holiday cartoons are always a hit with both children and adults. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, A Year Without a Santa Claus, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and A Charlie Brown Christmas are timeless classics.

Christmas movies are a great way to spend time with your family during the holidays. It doesn’t matter how old you are, unless you are the Scrooge or the Grinch, you are almost guaranteed to find a favorite.
