Even the Grinch of the family will enjoy these films.
'Tis the season to be jolly! Which is why you need to keep these funny Christmas movies on hand all throughout the holidays. We love old black-and-white Christmas movies and romantic Christmas movies (we can’t wait for Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas to start) but between wrapping presents, baking Christmas cookies, and dealing with your extended family, sometimes you just need a good laugh this time of year.
A handful of these movies are suitable for all ages, so even the littlest kids can join in. But there are some that are best saved for an adults-only party, and can—and should—be viewed with a heavy serving of eggnog.
Even those who aren’t the biggest fans of Christmas may find themselves cracking a smile after watching Buddy the Elf, Kevin McCallister, or Clark Griswold wreak total havoc during the holiday season.
But with every comedic misstep, there's a heartwarming lesson to be learned (and it's usually Santa who's teaching it). So trim the tree, deck the halls, and get your Christmas dinner to-do list taken care of ASAP.
That way, you can check off as many of these funny Christmas movies as possible without any stress or distractions holding you back. Now that’s a happy holiday.
01. I'll Be Home For Christmas - Jonathan Taylor Thomas will have the kids cracking up as they watch his character's parents try to curb his rebellious streak.
02. Gremlins - You can leave some Christmas cookies out for Santa, but don't feed these troublesome creatures a minute after midnight.
03. This Christmas - The Whitfields are together for the first time in years, so obviously plenty of buried family drama is brought along too.
04. Deck the Halls - Matthew Broderick and Danny DeVito are rival neighbors, each trying to outdo the other's Christmas spirit with over-the-top displays.
05. A Bad Moms Christmas - Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, and Kathryn Hahn are back, and this time they're dealing with their own moms who decide to pop in over Christmas.
06. Just Friends - Ten years after leaving town, an unpopular-kid-turned-record-executive returns and tries to show his former crush what she's been missing.
07. Dr. Seuss' The Grinch - If the live-action version isn’t quite your speed, then try the newer cartoon film starring Benedict Cumberbatch.
08. Fred Claus - Vince Vaughn plays Fred Claus, Nicholas’s misbehaving brother who has to work off the debt he owes to his famous sibling after getting bailed out of trouble.
09. Home Alone 2: Lost In New York - The sequel set in New York City is almost as classic as the original. The jury is still out about the remake Disney has planned though.
10. Arthur Christmas - Santa’s youngest son has to deliver a present to the one child who was accidentally forgotten.
11. Office Christmas Party - Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman, Olivia Munn, Kate McKinnon, and T.J. Miller play coworkers who are trying to save their office with an epic holiday party.
