Counting down the days until Christmas, trying to come up with holiday-themed posts, can be hard! I do love movies, though. I read all day long (editing, writing), and when I want a break, it’s not a book I gravitate to. I love movies. I love the full immersive experience. Lights off, volume up. After Thanksgiving, I get serious about hunting down holiday movies to watch with the family, and we’ve watched quite a few, so far: Elf, Hot Frosty, National Lampoon’s A Christmas Vacation… I know we’ve watched a couple of others, but they escape my mind.
Last night, the 15-year-old and I sat down to watch my favorite (and yes, it is a Christmas movie!), Die Hard. Get this. She’s 15—and had never seen it. When it was over, she said, “Best Christmas movie ever!” I feel so vindicated. LOL
Because there’s still time to fit a few more movies in, I’m looking for your suggestions. I listed the new film, Red One in the puzzle below, because I’m hoping to talk my family into watching another action flick with me (my favorite genre!). For a chance to win a $5 Amazon gift card, give me some more suggestions for holiday movies to watch!

Oh, almost forgot one I discovered this year. Violent Night from 2022 with David Harbour as Santa.

I believe that Die Hard is also a Christmas movie. We tried to watch Red One the other day and we just couldn’t get through it.Hopefully you can find some redeeming qualities of the movie. Not movies, but I go back to the classics, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman.

We just watched Red One over the weekend, it was fun once it got going.
I’m a die-hard Love Actually fan, plus The Holiday, White Christmas, The Family Stone.
Hubs likes A Diva’s Christmas Carol and the Flintstones Christmas Carol.
And of course, we watch all the usuals, the old animated things we saw as kids (one of my faves is The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus).

I liked Grinch with Jim Carrey. I loved Die Hard one of the best movies ever. Course there is Lethal Weapon 1987 but it’s still good. Die Hard 2. Our Little Secret

Love Actually. And I tend toward most any Hallmark Christmas story. It’s the romantic in me.
