The countdown to Christmas is on, people. It’s on like Donkey Kong. This time four weeks we’ll falling into a turkey-induced food coma, and simultaneously loving and hating our lives.Â
To help get you into that festive feeling, check of six of the best Christmas movies to snuggle up and watch this weekend…
1. Love Actually (2003)
Hugh Grant shaking his hips around No. 10, Colin Firth being his adorably awkward self in the French countryside, Emma Thompson making us cry hysterically into our mulled wine…
We’re just going to come right out and say it: Love Actually is the best Christmas movie ever made. End of story.

2. Home Alone (1990)
KEVINN!!
No other festive film quite sums up Christmas like Home Alone and the McCallister clan. Those pesky burglars never stood a chance against Macauley Culkin and his wiley ways.
And that version of Carol Of The Bells in the church? An absolute classic.

3. Elf (2003)
Thanks to Buddy, we all now know that the best way to spread Christmas cheer is to sing it loud for all to hear.
This is Will Ferrell at his finest. Watching Buddy The Elf make his way in Manhattan is the most hilarious Christmas movie ever made.

4. Miracle on 34th Street (1994)
Little Mara Wilson will break your heart in this heart-warming tale of a girl who starts to doubt Santa Claus. Luckily, she’s got none other than the legendary Richard Attenborough to help her out.
After all, Christmas isn’t just a day, it’s a frame of mind.

5. Bridget Jones’ Diary (2001)
“I like you very much just the way you are.”
Oh Mr Darcy, still our beating hearts. Yes, we’ve all seen Bridge Jones a million times, but it’s a classic. And a classic for good reason. Relive all of the awkward, granny panty wonderfulness in the trailer below.

6. It’s A Wonderful Life (1946)
It’s a Christmas favourite and quite rightly so. James Stewart plays a desperate and frustrated businessman who is shown what life would have been like if he had never existed.
Word of warning:Â you’re going to need tissues for this one.
