16 best Christmas films of all time from Love Actually to Home Alone

It’s time to snuggle up and watch one of these wholesome festive films - (20th Century Fox)

It’s the most magical time of the year – bucks fizz for breakfast, a fridge piled high with cheese and the unquestioned right to be in PJs by 5pm. Christmas is fast approaching and there’s nothing better than sinking into the sofa with a steaming mug of hot chocolate, a fluffy blanket and a wholesome Christmas film on the TV.

While there are lots of new festive films this year, the Christmas classics are hard to beat– and whether you’re in the mood for Love Actually, Elf , Home Alone, or Die Hard, you don’t need to rent, buy or wait for a film to appear on TV. Thanks to the rise of streaming, whether it’s pure schmaltz or a bit of Christmas action, your festive flicks are available whenever you want to boost your merriment.
