2021 Update: The 60 Best Christmas Movies of All Time According to Esquire

"While your arthouse friends may be clamoring to get tickets for big prestige films at the theater, we—the good people of all-things-Christmas-land—know where the goods are. The bells. The predictable romantic storylines. The spiked egg nog. Some of our most important pop culture moments have emerged from these classics.They're hallmarks of our moving picture history. [This list] is a smattering of the best of the lot: a good mixture of new favorites, old classics, and a few oddballs that we've adopted into the holiday genre because we love them so much. Nothing goes better with a mug of hot chocolate or mulled wine than a good story set to the jingle-jangle of Christmas bells. So grab whatever gets you in the spirit and settle in. These are the 60 Christmas films that will keep you warm while the sun hides out on the opposite side of the world." - esquire.com
