Our Favorite Family Holiday Movies

With the holidays quickly approaching I thought I would share a few of our favorite family holiday movies.  Most of you will probably recognize some of them, since they would come on TV every year, at least when I was a kid. There are also a couple you’ve might not have had the chance to see, so make sure and check those out.  I love being able to pull these shows out for our family movie nights. 

VeggieTales: The Ultimate Christmas Collection ~ This set contains VeggieTales’ entire Christmas collection. (The Toy That Saved Christmas—a lesson in giving; The Star of Christmas—a lesson in how to love; Saint Nicholas—a story in joyful giving; It's a Meaningful Life—a lesson in being content; and The Little Drummer Boy—a story about hope, love and forgiveness.)

We were just introduced to this collection this year and it is already a favorite with the boy. It delivers like most VeggieTales do.  It offers equal parts fun and faith.  I love the central message of these videos, putting the focus where it should be at Christmas.

It’s available only in DVD.

 

Peanuts Holiday Collection ~ Includes the following titles: It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown/ A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving / A Charlie Brown Christmas and more.

We love this collection.  Every October, November and December we pull them out and watch them more than once.  They have definitely become a family tradition. A matter of fact after our Thanksgiving meal the kids head downstairs to watch the Thanksgiving episodes while the adults skim the Black Friday ads.  It is perfect set-up.

It’s available in both DVD and Blue-ray formats.

 

Buck Denver asks…Why Do We Call it Christmas ~ With humor and tact Buck Denver and his puppet pals cover everything from cutting down trees, hanging stockings, Santa Claus and what all of these things have to do with Jesus' birthday.  Want to know more? Check out my review from last year.

It’s available only in DVD.

 

More Christmas Favorites

Here are a few more of our favorites, but some younger kiddos may not be so entertained. A lot of these movies can be found in both DVD and Blue-ray formats.

Special Note:

Use your discretion on what is appropriate for your child.  These movies are merely suggestions and you should read and consider reviews of these movies before watching them.
