1.Home Alone

Home Alone is one of my favourite Christmas movies and a 90s classic by the legendary John Hughes! Kevin McCallister is accidentally left at home when his family (and extended family who have all gathered at the McCallister home before a trip to Paris) have to rush to the airport after a power cut resets the alarms. While his parents are desperately trying to get home to him from France he is living it up and loving the new independence. However, he soon realizes the house is being targeted by burglars and it's up to him to protect his home all by himself.

2.Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

Home Alone 2 is another Christmas classic and like the first movie the McCallister's have organized another big Christmas family vacation, this time to Florida. They end up sleeping in again and have to rush to the airport but this time they make sure Kevin is definitely with them. At the airport Kevin gets split up from the group as they're running to their gate and follows another man with the same jacket as his dad. The family once again have to find their way back to Kevin while he is having the time of his life-until he runs into some familiar faces.

3.The Santa Clause

I haven't watched the sequels to this, but i love the first film! Scott Calvin is spending some time with his son Charlie on Christmas Eve when they're awoken by noises on the roof. Scott goes to investigate and ends up startling a man who falls off the roof and vanishes, but leaves behind a santa suit, reindeer, and a sleigh. Scott puts on the suit and finishes Santa's work before the reindeer head back to the North Pole where the head elf explains that by putting on the suit and entering the sleigh Scott has agreed to be the new Santa. 

4.Look Who's Talking Now I'm not a huge fan of the first two movies (Look Who's Talking, and Look Who's Talking Too) but Look Who's Talking Now is another one of my favourite 90s Christmas movies. After accepting a very hectic job as a pilot James doesn't get to spend a lot of time with his family. He ends up having to work on Christmas Eve where he gets stuck in a snow storm and Mollie, the children, and the dogs have to find him so they can all be together for Christmas. Unlike the first two movies where the children's interior monologues were voiced over, the third movie focuses more on the new family pets who are voiced by Danny Devito and Diana Keaton. 

What's your favourite Christmas movie?
