Is it really Christmas without your favourite Christmas movies? But which ones will you be watching this festive season?
A recent survey of 2000 British residents resulting in 37% saying they spend the evening watching Christmas movies, and they also went on to choose their favourites.
Coming in at first place, it’s Home Alone, with 21% of respondents making this their top pick! It does feel like the ultimate Christmas movie, although I would pay good money to see them remake the whole thing but with adult McCauley Culkin playing the same role as Kevin – that’s one Christmas wish that’s been doing the rounds the past couple of years!
Home Alone was actually the nation’s favourite film last year, too, according to a study by Showcase Cinemas.
In second place, and not too far behind, was Elf – another classic, this time with 19% of Brits choosing to watch it at Christmas. The Grinch came in third place, with 15% of Brits choosing this one.
I for one am not surprised that Die Hard has FINALLY made it into an officially recognised Christmas movies list, with 11% of respondents choosing this – yep, those are my people! In your face, YouGov study from 2021 where 47% of Brits said it didn’t count!
Anyway, since there wasn’t one, I made this infographic especially.
To learn more about how Brits like to celebrate the festive season, you can check out the full study right here (y’know, if you’re an alien and want to fit in at Christmas by blagging your way through the likes of The Muppet Christmas Carol with your glass of Bailey’s whilst eyeing up a game of monopoly – okay, maybe avoid the monopoly).
PSSSSST! Also, if you need a big-ass TV to enjoy all of these amazing Christmas films on, and to get properly into the Christmas spirit, you can find a great selection from Currys right here!
What’s your favourite Christmas movie? Did it make the list? And do YOU think Die Hard is a Christmas movie? Let me know in the comments.
