Holidays are the perfect time to cozy up with a blanket and enjoy some festive movies—ideally, more than one in a single sitting. If you’re in the mood for a Christmas marathon this holiday season, we’re bringing you five amazing ideas that will bring some cheer and laughter into your home.
Home Alone
Home Alone is one of the most iconic holiday movies of all time, and it spawned enough sequels to be a perfect fit for a movie marathon. Only the first two films chronicle Kevin McCallister’s shenanigans, but you can watch the rest to keep the fun going.
Harry Potter
Harry Potter may not be a holiday movie by definition, but there’s no better time than Christmas to revisit Hogwarts and revive the magic of the beloved fantasy franchise about the Boy Who Lived.
Holiday Rom-Coms
Romantic comedies set on Christmas are a genre of their own, and it’s easy to plan a marathon around them. You can focus on 2000s classics such as The Holiday and Love, Actually, or go down the modern route with such movies as Holidate, Happiest Season, and Last Christmas.
Animated Movies
If you’re in the mood for a family Christmas marathon, animated movies are always a good idea. The list of possible picks is pretty much endless, and you can choose between anything from Klaus and Arthur Christmas to The Nightmare Before Christmas and several versions of The Grinch.
Old-Fashioned Classics
If modern movies simply aren’t your thing and you want to enjoy some old-fashioned classic, organize a Christmas marathon that includes such timeless hits as It’s a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Story, and A Charlie Brown Christmas.
