A short while ago, we had an in-depth discussion within The Dad Network about what the best Christmas movies are. Not just good Christmas movies, but which ones are suitable for a toddler and provide a good, solid introduction to the world’s most wonderful lie, Father Christmas.

The conversation sparked so many interesting thoughts on the phenomenon of Christmas movies and from the discussion we’ve managed to collate Dad’s ultimate list of Christmas movies that children will love.

So here you go:

Polar Express

The Grinch

The Snowman

Home Alone

Santa Clause the Movie (Not the Tim Allan one!)

Yogi’s First Christmas

Elf

Arthur Christmas

Santa Clause the Movie (The Tim Allan one!)

Mary Poppins

Muppets Christmas Carol

Miracle on 34th Street

It’s a Wonderful Life

This is just our top list though. Have we missed any? What would you add?
