There are many excellent Christmas movies so making a choice is not always easy.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    The first step is to consider the audience. Does the group contain several children? If it does you might want to consider a cartoon.

  2. Step 2

    The second step is to consider length of the movie. Some of the Christmas movies are short so you might want to think about a double feature.

  3. Step 3

    The third step is to think about whether you want a classic Christmas movie. There are many excellent ones.

  4. Step 4

    The fourth step is to ask your friends and family. This one can be a little sticky. Always think about the source. Some of your family or friends are sure to have very different tastes. If they recommend a movie, ask them to describe it in detail to you. With additional information you may be able to rule some real stinkers.

  5. Step 5

    The next step is to make a list of the movies that have been recommended and you have thought about seeing.

  6. Step 6

    The next step is to do a little online research. Check out the movies on your list. What are the movies rated? What do other people online think of your selections?

  7. Step 7

    The next step is to purchase some popcorn. The best movies are always even better with a little popcorn and real butter.

  8. Step 8

    The last step is doing a little more research. Is the movie (or movies) that you want available at the local rental store? What good will it do selecting a movie if it isn’t available? If you can’t rent it you might want to consider purchasing the movie.

Tips & Warnings
  • Enjoying a good Christmas movie with the family can easily become a tradition that you will want to repeat every year. Sometimes watching the same movie and combining it with a new movie can be fun.
  • Well, you might be asking – What is my favorite Christmas movie? This is an easy one – It’s A Wonderful Life. And the best part is – the last time I checked you could still watch it for free on your computer. Check out the resource section for the URL.
