1. Love Actually 

‘Tis the season for celebrating all things love and magic, and Love Actually does just that. Watch people from all different walks of life come together at Christmas to navigate the challenges of love and relationships on the journey to happiness. 

2. Miracle On 34th Street 

One for all the family, little and large, and a firm favourite at Bensons HQ. Susan, a non-believer, meets Kris Kringle who claims to be the real Santa Claus. When he ends up in trouble and is threatened to be institutionalised, Susan and her mum must help to defend him and save Christmas. 

3. Christmas Chronicles 1 & 2 

If this isn’t already on your list of festive favourites, we think it will be! Follow two teens, who have lost their dad, catch Santa in the act and sneak into his sleigh for a night of adventures they’ll never forget. They do however, almost cause Christmas to be cancelled along the way but can they work together to save the day? 

4. The Grinch 

“You’re a mean one Mr Grinch” – does this Christmas classic really need an introduction? If you haven’t heard of The Grinch then where have you been hiding. When the ultimate scrooge, The Grinch, tries to ruin Christmas in Whoville, Cindy Loo attempts to melt his ice cold heart and bring everyone together. 

5. Polar Express 

Get your hot chocolate at the ready and cosy up with the ultimate feel-good film and one that brings many so much nostalgia. On Christmas Eve, a group of children are taken on a journey of a lifetime to visit Santa in the north pole whilst learning important lessons on their way. 

6. Home Alone 

Yet another film we can’t go a Christmas without enjoying. We’ve all been there when we’re younger, or on the receiving end of your child’s tantrum, when family disagreements cause you to wish you could spend some time on your own. But when eight year old Kevin’s wish comes true and he’s left to fend for himself over Christmas he’s forced to defend himself against dangerous robbers. 

7. The Santa Clause 1 & 2 

Santa ‘Clause’ takes a whole new meaning when Scott, a workaholic, unknowingly signs a contract to become the next Santa Claus. As he morphs into a new version of himself, he’s forced to keep the secret from his suspicious ex-wife. The two films follow him on his journey to become the best Santa Claus he can be. 

8. Elf 

Buddy, a human orphan, who thinks he’s an elf after being taken in by Santa’s elves finds out the truth and decides to travel to New York City to find his real father. His father, however, is nothing like Buddy imagined and to make matters worse is on the naughty list so Buddy decides to try and redeem him with some Christmas spirit. 

9. Jingle All The Way 

When his son asks for a toy that is near impossible to get his hands on, a desperate father finds himself running all over town to try and get one despite every store being sold out. 

10. Bad Santa 

Sorry kids, this one is just for the grown ups! This one is for those who like a little bit more action than the usual Christmas films. Rather than spreading the usual good cheer that you’re meant to at Christmas, Willie, a criminal dressed up as Santa, and his elf partner Marcus try to rob a mall. But, their master plan fails when the thief befriends a young boy.
