The 30 Best Christmas Movies Ever
Seasonal favourites, as voted for by Empire readers…

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, so we’re told, and it wouldn’t be Christmas without the Christmas movies we all know and love, which have become part of everyone’s family tradition over the last few decades. Recently we asked Empire readers to vote for their favourite seasonal films, and here are the results – and there are a few surprises in there. Read on for the results, and Happy Christmas!

The 30 Best Christmas Movies Ever | 30. A Charlie Brown Christmas
30. A Charlie Brown Christmas

Year: 1965

Director: Bill Melendez

Starring: (voice) Peter Robbins, Bill Melendez, Chris Doran, Christopher Shea, Katherine Steinberg

Like The Snowman, this one was made for TV but that hasn’t stopped it winning a place in everyone’s hearts over nearly 50 years. Charlie Brown finds himself depressed as the Christmas season approaches and can’t figure out why he isn’t onboard with the decking the halls and being jolly. After consulting Lucy (in her psychiatrist mode) he gets involved in directing the school nativity play, but with the other children running wild and still depressed, finds things rather difficult. In the end, however, everyone rallies round, helping Charlie to decorate his tiny, real tree (he rejects the fake, tinselled ones) and remembering what Christmas is really all about with a singalong to Hark The Herald Angels Sing. Heartwarming stuff.

What kind of list is this? I do not know how you created ths list. Christmas in Connecticut is not even on the list. I think you need to rethink what Christmas is all about. More
