We all have our favourite image of Santa Claus from watching films and feel as though that is our Santa! I have decided to pick my favourite seven from the world of the movies! Obviously having to start with this amazing photo of Buddy the Elf who is very excited about this list!
So many to choose from over the years of film and some of the choices I found very easy and others I have tried to be a little bit different in terms of the films I have enjoyed which may just have a slightly different take on the role we all know and love.
Last year Netflix really pushed the boat out with a couple of original Christmas films which really did gain a lot of publicity. Yes, I am talking about you ‘A Christmas Prince’ so this year they have started the build up early for ‘The Christmas Chronicles’ which will be available at the end of November.
Kurt Russell as Santa what more do we really need?
Here you can see the reviews for Christmas time films which are already on Let’s Go To The Movies, and you may well see more which I will watch over the festive period!
If you would like to request a film to review or a Christmas style list to make please let me know and I would be more than happy to put it together!
Children who begin to doubt the magic of Christmas are taken aboard the Polar Express on Christmas Eve to meet Santa at the North Pole.

Take a look at things that make a good Christmas film.
A lot of blog posts and talk is currently surrounding Christmas films, so I decided that I would think about what makes a good Christmas film. Especially as it’s not that we get new quality Christmas films every year it always seems to be older now classic films which everyone makes sure they watch at some point in the build up to Christmas. These must have key elements which make everyone love them and want to watch them year in year out. I think that does help make these films extra special, as long as you get the formula right recent times have been more Christmas Turkeys rather than classics.
As it is Christmas Eve today, I thought the best way to celebrate Christmas on the blog would be to do my top 10 Christmas Movies. The one’s I have grew up watching (and loving) and even more recent films will appear too. As over the past few years some very good Christmas films have been released. The best thing about Christmas films is that you are really restricted to watching them in Decemeber. I mean if you really want to you could watch them in July . . . but that’s just not the same at all! So quite a few films in my collection are only watched at this time of year.
What makes a good Christmas movie then? Well I would say it has to be a very Christmasy message usually involving or revolving around family. Most of the better ones also have the Santa factor too!
Christmas Eve brings us a lovely quote from the seasonal The Polar Express.
“Just remember, the true spirit of Christmas lies in your heart.”
