Best Christmas Films | Rom Coms & More

Home Alone

This 90s classic stars an eight-year-old MacCauley Culkin, who is accidentally left behind when his parents travel abroad for Christmas. The ultimate film to watch with the family

Miracle on 34th Street

It's the ultimate Christmas film! Picture the scene; you're on your sofa, the Christmas tree is up, hot chocolate is in hand and the fire burning away – aww! Bliss! This Christmas film is all about believing in Santa Clause, we believe, do you?

The Holiday

Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, Kate Winslet and Jack Black! Could there be a better cast for a Christmas rom-com? You have to watch it purely for the amazing chemistry between Jude and Cam. Oh and for the scene where Ms Diaz runs rather fast in the snow – wearing heels! Cam, we salute you!

It's A Wonderful Life

It's A Wonderful Life is the quintessential Christmas film – it's got blankets of snow, angels, romance, carol singers and lashings of good cheer – but it's not as sickly-sweet as it sounds. Will warm you up quicker than a vat of mulled wine!

Love Actually

Hugh Grant and Martine McCutcheon co-star in the rom-com that is Love Actually. We love how the film intertwines eight couples and their lives in the lead-up to christmas - leaves us hoping there's someone under the mistletoe for us too!

Bugsy Malone

Although not strictly a Christmas film, it always seems to make an appearance during the festive period. From the completely mad and messy splurge guns, to Jodie Foster's amazing outfits as gangster's moll Tullulah, Bugsy Malone is the film you wanted to be in when you were little... and still secretly wish you could be in as an adult!

White Christmas

The Crimbo musical of all time has to be White Christmas. The storyline is great, but we love singing along much more!

Curly Sue

If you've not seen Curly Sue, you're seriously missing out! A homeless man and his daughter get through life by conning people - until they meet a woman who transforms both their lives. Brilliantly funny - watch out for little Sue's singing debut!

Bridget Jones' Diary

The unofficial chick-flick of the decade has to be Bridget Jones - it's still so relevant! Bridget is the thirty-something singleton that has had more than her fair share of unlucky romances - until she finally meets Mr. Right. It's the hilariously funny rom-com that has become every girl's must-have movie

Happy Feet

Enter into the world of penguins with serious talent! These fabulous penguins find their soul mates through song - but there's one who is both without the blessed ability to sing. Instead, he tap-dances, and fantastically well too. Another film perfect for watching with the family huddled around.
