10 Best Christmas Movies for Kids (Can’t Recommend #1 Enough)

In this post we bring to you the best Christmas movies for kids you can watch as a family together enjoying the Xmas spirit!

Being a Roman Catholic, I have always adored the Christmas Season. Come December, winter lands, the Holy month of Advent begins!

We kick start cleaning our house, gearing-up for Christmas carols, shopping for the decor, and putting up the Christmas Tree. Preparing goodies including plum cakes, rice cakes, angel wings, sweet balls, rum cookies, buying the confectioneries, collecting hay and mud for the crib, arranging our new outfits for the midnight mass (shopping for clothes is my favorite part).. Oh I am already excited!!!

10 Best Christmas Movies for Kids You Can Recommend:

As children, we were not much into the Christmas preparation but yes we were very much a part of the parties at home which mainly included a family gathering, a big time delicious lunch and dinner accompanied by my aunt’s exotic red wine. While the elders had their talks and discussions, we kids were glued to the beautiful Christmas themed movies mainly aired on Star Movies.

All nostalgic now that I am, as I list down movies for this merry season which I am sure our kids would love to sit back and enjoy during their holidays.

#1. Home Alone:

Home alone is one of my favorite Christmas movies for kids.

This is a story about a young 8 year old boy named Kevin, who is by mistake left out of the family holiday trip to Paris. Eventually Kevin accepts the fact and also makes-up his mind to protect his house when he hears about the burglars who are on a mission to rob almost every house in his neighborhood.

In short Home alone is a wonderful thrilling movie for children.

Suitable for kids aged 7 and above.

#2. The Polar Express:

#3. The Santa Claus:

The Santa Claus is about a father and son who are together spending time on the night of Christmas Eve, when they get disturbed with a loud noise.

Assuming it for some break-in, the father gets physical with the man on the roof top which causes him to fall off. Later they discover his identity and the little one convinces his daddy to finish Santa’s work. A beautiful adventurous movie and one of my favorites too.

Suitable for kids Aged 5 and above.

#4. Merry Madagascar:

The movie Merry Madagascar unfolds with the group trying to escape Madagascar in a hot air Balloon.

On the way they discover Santa Claus whom they had earlier mistaken for Red Night Goblin and how their shot has left him with amnesia. Now it is on Alex, Marty, Gloria, Melvin and the penguins to keep up Christmas.

#5. Winnie the Pooh and Christmas Too:

Pooh was one of my favourite characters. I have a big Pooh soft toy which I adored in my kiddie days J

Anyway back to the story, this little movie talks about how Christopher Robin writes a letter to Santa asking for gifts for his friends. It also shows how at the end they realize that Christmas is not only about receiving gifts and eating cakes but it has a lot more depth and meaning.
