Hi
I’m going to just say one that hasn’t yet been mentioned, even though all the good ones have been said. I’m going to go out on a limb and say “Love Actually.”
Wandering Coyote
Dammit – I was going with Christmas vacation, too, but I was beaten to it!
How about…A Christmas Carol?
Steph
Well, since no one else has guessed it I’ll say Rudolf the Red nosed Reindeer (in claymation).
Natashya
Hmmm, that would have to be A Charlie Brown Christmas.
Now you have us in the mood for the holidays!
Jennywenny
I’m going to go a bit out there and suggest Die Hard. I REALLY WANT TO WIN THE BOOK THOUGH!!!
jen
Scrooged?
Merav
The Nutcracker?
I have noooo idea. But I like The Nutcracker and it’s kinda about food…so maybe you do too?
Mary
The Muppet Christmas? It’s kind of obscure, but there’s a running gag about the steps being icy that’s hillarious. If it’s not your favorite, then you really should check it out.
Emily Rose
Haha- I was just about to say the muppet christmas- but it was already posted! icy steps!
Allison
I’m trying to think of one that is not listed yet. Is it Meet Me in St. Lous?
Nags
Love Actually?
That’s my fave, anyway
sunita
Home alone1? Sigh! That is such a lovely book !
cakebrain
I’m going to guess something somewhat unChristmassy: The Sound of Music! It always happens to be on during Christmas. I always watched it as a kid during Christmas break!
Lesley
I think all the good ones are taken… at least all my favorites are. How about The Holiday? Love that one… and best of all it’s not taken!
angela
well i would have said national lampoons cause its my favorite… but i will guess miracle on 34th
Joanne at frutto della passione
Santa Claus is coming to town, the one made in the late 60′s!

Lori
I too was going to say A Christmas Story. pooh! A day late and a book/comment short.
Sarina
How about Moonstruck? Not exactly Christmassy, but many Italian food references, and some winter scenes.
megan
The Santa Claus? The first one.
sarah
Santa Claus: the Movie
Barbara
Going with one not mentioned yet Holiday Inn
My favorite is White Christmas though…
Emily
I will guess Scrooged.
Jane
The Belles of St. Mary’s or the original The Bishop’s Wife
My favorite is a movie made for TV a few years ago with Randy Travis, A Holiday to Remember. In this one Aunt Leona bakes scones and pies; and a holiday dinner is shared.
Oh, how I want that book!
Maria
Looks like all of the movies have been taken!! So how about Elf?
Jessica
I gonna say either Holiday Inn or The year without a Santa Claus?
My fav is the original B&W Miracle on 34th ST.
Trying Traditional
Has anyone guessed White Christmas or Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer?
Mom24@4evermom
Well, I don’t know yours, so I’ll guess mine…The Year Without a Santa Claus.
Anonymous New York
I thought you said COOKIE. I was going to guess pizzelle. Movie? I have no idea? The one with the leg lamp and “you’ll shoot your eye out?” Ralphie is the kid’s name? It’s on 24/7 during the holidays and I really don’t like it. But I love pizzelles.
jenn sedor
The Nightmare Before Christmas. Brilliant movie.
Debbie
Are we allowed to guess more than one movie? I had first guessed yesterday on “Love Actually,” but just in case you haven’t got the correct answer yet I’m going to guess on ‘”SERENDIPITY” with John Cusack. I haven’t seen anyone mention that one yet.
Liliana
Well, it looks like most movies I was going to suggest have already been mentioned but I would go with Miracle on 34th Street!
Aunt D.
The Sound of Music!!!
jen
cinema paradiso?
Suzy
How about Gremlins? I know it’s not a conventional Christmas movie..but always comes to my mind when people ask about Christmas movies!
Waynette McKeel
Your favorite Christmas movie is “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”
Suzanne
Was going to guess “It’s A Wonderful Life”, or “Miracle on 34th Street,” but I was beaten to the punch! Sooooo…..my guess is that your favorite is either “HOME ALONE,” SCROOGED,” or maybe even “THE WIZARD OF OZ!” Hope I’m right on one of them…but, I still wish I could have chosen “It’s a Wonderful Life!” Well, have to stop typing now so I can keep my fingers crossed!
cj coppola
Two words…BAD SANTA
Leslie
Elf! Lol…

You’re all a hoot! Thanks so much for the enthusiastic guesses! My favourite Christmas movie is “A Christmas Carol”, the original black and white version with Alastair Sim.

My family sit down around a lovely roaring fire, a few glasses of brandy and a big bowl of assorted nuts and put on one of the Debbie Does… series? Ah, I love XXXmas
Bobbie Crawford-McCoy
