America’s 30 Favorite Holiday Movies And Specials
It seems like the holiday movies started airing on TV earlier this year. I saw “The Nightmare Before Christmas” and “Elf” before Thanksgiving. Not that I’m complaining. If ever there was a year that we could use some extra Yuletide joy, 2020 is definitely it.
What are your favorite holiday movies and TV specials? Are there some that you watch every year no matter how many times you’ve already seen them? For me, it’s the aforementioned “Elf,” along with “A Christmas Story,” “It’s a Wonderful Life,” “Miracle on 34th Street,” “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation,” and at least one version of “A Christmas Carol.”
A new poll by Tubi of 2,000 Americans reveals the top 30 holiday movies we’ll watch over and over. I’m surprised how far down “Elf” is ranked:
