Which 21st Century Christmas movie is your go-to during the holidays? Let us know below, and check out our video of the Top 10 Most Underappreciated Christmas Movies - ruclips.net/video/-8lkQL4tVG0/видео.html
I adore Klaus very much. It's such a beautiful Christmas movie telling how it all started with a simple letter that changed everything and everyone. When I saw it for the first time, I was amazed by the gorgeous art style and visuals and the story about a pampered man who has to deliver 6000 letters in a year on an island that is dangerous and met a toy maker named Klaus was a very well thought out and interesting story. So please, I highly recommend this movie when you have the chance. You will be smiling and crying for how magical and thoughtful that movie is.
@bennymora3086 I know! It looks so amazing, and everything about that movie is moving and heartwarming. Not to mention, the ending made me smile while crying
For me, the Polar Express is the one film of my childhood that isn’t blocked from the dark experiences I had in certain parts of my life and is the only film that still has me believing.
That movie really makes you feel like you're leaving all your dark experiences in life behind, and heading to a place where you can truly get into the Christmas spirit. Not to mention, make you feel like a kid again.
That kind of animation is literally majestic and beautiful, even if made in 2019. I've legitimately never seen a better origin story on Santa Claus anywhere.
Klaus is the one film I can call a true Christmas Classic & should’ve been #1 • The story - brilliant • The characters - engaging • The heart - beyond what I could’ve ever imagined✨💖✨
Elf would have been so different had Will Ferrell not do it. Apparently, Jim Carrey was offered the role. I like Jim Carrey, but it would have been quite different
To this day, I continue to hope and wish that Klaus comes out on DVD someday. Side note, I'm sad that the 2000s version of The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus isn't on this list
My niece (almost 5) and nephew (2) and I all watched the Polar Express last night (them for the first time and myself for the first time since I was a child). It still cracks me up and I got to see it with a fresh pair of eyes
Once I participated in a whole community event where they literally recreated the Polar Express. They had the actual train ride, the hot chocolate, and even Santa's workshop. It was memorable.
I know that A Muppet Family Christmas and The Muppet Christmas Carol technically weren't on this list at some point because they both came out in the 1980s and 1990s, not the 2000s Era of Movies, but I can still have a good time enjoying those Movies, too!
@@MrMJmusicLover It's modern to you, but that doesn't mean its modern anymore in the general public. I'm 34, so I grew up on a lot of the scooby doo shows of the past, but to the current gen, that's now seen as the older stuff like you said, but that's the point, the up and coming generation is what defines the current era.
@@josephmath1 True. This generation sees stuff that i enjoyed as a young person, as boring old stuff the way I saw black and white movies when I was younger.
A terrible movie. Too much foul language and a whole lot of it around a little girl at an age that shouldn't be hearing it. There's a reason why it's on streaming and not on TV.
@@MrMJmusicLoverIt has a 74% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and it grossed over $75 million against its $20 million budget. And streaming is more popular than TV and cable channels now. So a lot of people like it. And unfortunately, a lot of kids are hearing a lot of foul language now, and this relates to anyone who went through that as a child.
I would also add “Violent Night” (2022). 1 year later, this is an R rated action holiday comedy with a fantastic lead performance by David Harbour as Santa Claus who must save a rich family from a group of crooks intent on stealing millions. It’s equal parts “Die Hard” meets “Home Alone” with the right amount of gory action and Christmas spirit.
Yes! Delighted to see "The Holiday" all but at the top of the list. Love Winslet's Iris and this was the first live-action film in which I actually liked Jack Black. Eli Wallach's George Abbott is a delight.
Very disappointed that "Anna & the Apocalypse" isn't mentioned. A musical set at Christmas in a Scottish village amidst a zombie apocalypse...what's not to like? I also like "Serendipity" - even if it's a little sappy.
Goldie Hawn playing Mrs Clause was one of my favourite little Easter Eggs in the original Christmas Chronicles. I was thrilled when she got her sequel.
I’ve been watching elf and how the Grinch stole Christmas a lot. These movies are my favorite and I like watching them. I recently went to go watch them in the theaters in honor of their anniversary and it was just amazing but I like watching them when I’m home Christmas, modern films that I ever watched. I’m proud and thankful to love Christmas and the holidays especially the music.
Is there a list for Hallmark Christmas movies? What about "One Starry Christmas?" What about "Annabell's Wish"? I know Annabell's Wish came out in 97 but still it was great
The Polar express is my favourite Christmas movie ever, was the first one I watched too, plus at my local train station, every year they do a Polar Express ride at Christmas, me and my nephew love it
I recently watched 8 Bit Christmas and Naughty Nine!!! Enjoyed both! Oh yeah and Christmas Story Christmas! A real blast from the past! A grown up Ralphie! It surprised me! Wasn’t sure if I was gonna like it or not!
Home Alone helps teach us that while family members can drive each other nuts sometimes, they are still family and will go to great lengths to keep each other safe. If the whole McAllister family went to Paris as intended, they would have come home to a completely destroyed house with broken windows caused by the Wet Bandits, but that's unrelated. In the first act of the film, Kevin says he hates his family because he is seen as the scapegoat by or the "problem child" to the rest of the family, and wishes that he didn't have a family. He gets his wish the next afternoon when Mitch Murphy from across the street is mistakenly counted as Kevin, and initially enjoys living with no family. But on Christmas Eve, he walks down the street and sees other families getting together with extended relatives for dinner, making him miss his family and wants nothing more than to be with them again, even if they do get on his nerves from time to time. We also see the other side and how much of a pain Kevin can be to other members of the family, but at the end of the day they still see him as part of their family and do what they can to return back home to him.
Elf was a childhood Christmas classic when i was 5 first seeing in TV. Can't blame him for living life but one thing i noticed elf; walter has gone through the 5 stages of grief for Susan wells.
kinda bummed that rise of the guardians didn’t make the cut. that movie was dope, and i loved how all of the different holidays came together, and santa looked so damn cool. this movie was the only one that actually paid true homage to all of the books in the series.
Thank you for the update, MsMojo..!! Speaking of Christmas movies, in RUclips, there is a video called "It's not Christmas until Hans Gruber falls from the Nakatomi Plaza."
I make it a tradition to watch Home Alone, Home Alone 2: Lost In New York and Home Alone 3 every time it's the holidays. But I just skip to the part where the booby traps are activated.
@@manuelorozco7760 I fast forward to the part where the booby traps are activated because I enjoy seeing the villains suffering in the hands of a child.
My top 5 Christmas movies: 1. Elf 2. Gremlins 3. Scrooged 4. Home Alone 5. National Lampoons Christmas Vacation I know some of these are from the 80s and 90s, but it's my list!!
How do you, with a straight face, put klaus below polar express, Jim Carrey’s grinch, and love actually? Also didn’t Happiest Season get a ton of hate when it came out?
Definitely Polar Express. Happy sunday afternoon, Samantha (and happy holiday season as well) take care and God bless you, and greetings from Colombia.

Me too
I never got the dislike for Polar Express
Same here
Maybe it was the way the Characters looked in that Film or something
My family watch it every year on Christmas Eve…
@@victoriasalter1701 Cool
The hate is mostly from the uncanny mocap animation
“Klaus” is not only my favorite post-2000s Christmas movie; it’s also my all-time favorite Christmas movie! It’s absolutely beautiful!
That kind of animation is literally majestic and beautiful, even if made in 2019.
I've legitimately never seen a better origin story on Santa Claus anywhere.
To me, Jim Carreys grinch will always be one of my favorites. It is usually in my top 3 to watch around Christmas time.
In my opinion I think that Boris Karloff did the best grinch I always go for the og
Home alone is one of my go-to Christmas movies
That's the 90s
Same
The Holiday is one of my favourites rom coms. I watch it every year without fail. Same goes for Elf, It's a Wonderful Life, and The Polar Express.
I love a lot of the adaptations of A Christmas Carol, but the Disney one with Jim Carrey is my absolute favorite! It’s so beautiful and so well done.
Klaus is the one film I can call a true Christmas Classic & should’ve been #1
• The story - brilliant
• The characters - engaging
• The heart - beyond what I could’ve ever imagined✨💖✨
It also should've won an Oscar. The same for Wolfwalkers.
Elf would have been so different had Will Ferrell not do it. Apparently, Jim Carrey was offered the role. I like Jim Carrey, but it would have been quite different
To this day, I continue to hope and wish that Klaus comes out on DVD someday.
Side note, I'm sad that the 2000s version of The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus isn't on this list
I love that movie !!!! It’s just a classic for me
@@Gracieroseyxox Which one, Klaus or The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus?
Would doubt for a Criterion release of Klaus one day.
Jim Carrey's Grinch is timeless! ahead of its time in production&camera work
You Forgot “Last Christmas” with Emilia Clark
My favourite Christmas Carol, hands down, is a Muppet Christmas Carol. It's so wonderful
No disrespect to the animated classic but Jim Carrey’s the Grinch is timeless for me.
My niece (almost 5) and nephew (2) and I all watched the Polar Express last night (them for the first time and myself for the first time since I was a child). It still cracks me up and I got to see it with a fresh pair of eyes

They had the actual train ride, the hot chocolate, and even Santa's workshop.
It was memorable.
I remember when I was little my teacher took my class and me to watch it in a single booth theater when it came out
Polar Express is my favorite modern Christmas movie.
My Top 5
1. Elf
2. The Santa Clause 2
3. Last Christmas
4. The Polar Express
5. How The Grinch Stole Christmas
Elf
A year without Santa Claus
Home alone
How the grinch stole Christmas
Um the ORIGINAL Grinch can’t be touched EVER!!!!

That's still a modern Christmas movie. Today's generation sees the 80s the way i would see the 1920,30,40, 50 and 60s as the old past. 😅

Violent Night is one I'll be watching every year from now on, also Anna and the Apocalypse! 🎄🎅
In my family; it's not Christmas unless we watch Elf
Last Christmas with Emilila Clark was absolutely sensational im dissapointed that it wasnt even mentioned
Love it, watch it every year
Klaus is more recent and came out on Netflix, but it would have done better had it come out in theaters
I wish Violent Night got at least an honorable mention. That movie was awesome.

The Nightmare Before Christmas 🎃 🎄
Love Polar Express! ❤️ Unashamedly ❤️
Christmas is a great time!
Christmas is my favorite holiday!
Krampus, Klaus, & especially Arthur Christmas are definitely underrated. I’d add The Holdovers to this list even though it just came out this year
I would also add “Violent Night” (2022). 1 year later, this is an R rated action holiday comedy with a fantastic lead performance by David Harbour as Santa Claus who must save a rich family from a group of crooks intent on stealing millions. It’s equal parts “Die Hard” meets “Home Alone” with the right amount of gory action and Christmas spirit.
I gave up watched Nickelodeon so I watched Christmas movies like Albert the Christmas tree and Santa Paws, they're so underrated ❤
Same here. I also watched Albert the Christmas Tree and Santa Paws.
Yes! Delighted to see "The Holiday" all but at the top of the list. Love Winslet's Iris and this was the first live-action film in which I actually liked Jack Black. Eli Wallach's George Abbott is a delight.

Xmas Chronicles takes the win in my books! It’s wholesome, magical, and everything you’d want in an Xmas theme film
I didn’t expect to enjoy it myself! I watched on Thanksgiving night 2020. Trailer doesn’t do how entertaining it was justice
Goldie Hawn playing Mrs Clause was one of my favourite little Easter Eggs in the original Christmas Chronicles. I was thrilled when she got her sequel.
Arthur Christmas was surprisingly soooo sweet!! ♥️🤎
The Grinch is my favorite modern Christmas movie mostly because it is directed by one of my favorite movie directors, Ron Howard.
the best Christmas Carol adaptation ... imo... is 1951 Scrooge - spectacular
Is Batman Returns (1992) on here! Because that is the coolest Superhero movie ever made. Heck, I love it more than the 1st movie.
That isn't a Christmas movie.
It’s not as Christmas movie and it’s not on this list because it was released BEFORE the 2000s, in case you didn’t watch this video.
@@michaelmonthey5974 I don’t what people say! It’s a Christmas movie! That movie is so much funner than that last one.
@@MrMJmusicLover it is a Christmas movie pal. You just don’t know it.
@@megalon73 When it first came out, my generation saw it as a SUMMER movie. It was NEVER considered a Christmas movie until this new generation.

My go to Christmas movie during the holidays is Rise of the Guardians.
Aw, Jingle All The Way wasn't mentioned. One of my favorites. Though a movie called Single All The Way was...eh, close enough.
Oh Yes! I freaking LOVE Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey! I just love it. Love the soundtrack
My Uncle and his family introduced me to The Christmas Chronicles and I fell in love with it since 2018
I love those Christmas movies so much 🥰
Spirited deserves a spot if not at least an honorable mention! Great story, characters and the music is top notch!
I can’t believe you didn’t mention Santa Slay with Goldberg the famous wrestler.
I was 5 years old when I saw The Polar Express. I love this movie so much. Pure nostalgia and I just love the song When Christmas Comes to Town
I was 11 when it came out
I loved Violent Night, beautiful movie yall need to watch
It is now Spirited. I love that movie and the message it sends.
Happy Holidays, MsMojo! 🎅☃️🎄
Is there a list for Hallmark Christmas movies? What about "One Starry Christmas?" What about "Annabell's Wish"? I know Annabell's Wish came out in 97 but still it was great
So excited to see Carol on this list! My favorite Christmas movie ❤
The Polar express is my favourite Christmas movie ever, was the first one I watched too, plus at my local train station, every year they do a Polar Express ride at Christmas, me and my nephew love it
Anyone else find it interesting that Jim Carrey has played both of the most famous Christmas hating characters? And played them very well I might add.
I love these modern Christmas movies!

The top pick feels completely obvious to me, and I’m 100% here for it.

Tokyo Godfathers is one of my favourite Christmas films. I have this one... I gotta see it again
0:10, Okay I gotta admit, that Joke's quite funny
So glad Jingle Jangle got some love! It deserves it!
Finally some Family Man recognition
The Santa Clause movies and Elf are Mutch watches. Also loved the Christmas Chronicles!

Me, my mom and dad loves Klaus since 2019. A memory I’ll never forget. Best part, my parents say it’s the better than WW84
How in the HO-HO-HO did you forget A Christmas Story???? Remember....."You'll SHOOT YOUR EYE OUT!!!"
because the list is 2000 and later and A Christmas Story came out in 1983
The fact that Spirited isn’t on this list is kind of a shame because it’s so good, but so underrated
That one was rather decent
I would put “the man who invented Christmas “ in the top 10 and Disney’s A Christmas Carol in the top 5
8 Bit Christmas, Spirited, Christmas Story 2
Thank you for the update, MsMojo..!! Speaking of Christmas movies, in RUclips, there is a video called "It's not Christmas until Hans Gruber falls from the Nakatomi Plaza."
Four Christmases should be on here. Also, Last Christmas is a hidden gem from 2019!
I am FUMING that we got foreign “representation” films I haven’t heard of, but Nightmare Before Christmas didn’t make the damn list
Great list! A bit older but still a modern Christmas movie is “Prancer” (1989). It was a surprisingly sweet movie
Last Christmas should’ve been on this list too.
I make it a tradition to watch Home Alone, Home Alone 2: Lost In New York and Home Alone 3 every time it's the holidays. But I just skip to the part where the booby traps are activated.
That’s pointless considering it’s the really fun part. Home Alone 3 is pretty decent for a stand alone sequel
@@manuelorozco7760 I fast forward to the part where the booby traps are activated because I enjoy seeing the villains suffering in the hands of a child.
@@irawilliams343 That’s fair! I enjoy HA better when it’s focused more on Kevin Vs The Bandits than I am of Kevin Vs The Family
@@manuelorozco7760 majority of Kevin's family are morons

1. Elf
2. Gremlins
3. Scrooged
4. Home Alone
5. National Lampoons Christmas Vacation
I know some of these are from the 80s and 90s, but it's my list!!
Love actually
Elf over the grinch??? Hmm
Friday after next is one of my favorites
You definitely nailed all my favourites! 😊
A Loud House Christmas got mixed reviews from fans of the franchise.
Eliot the Littlest Reindeer
I like watching The Muppets Christmas Carol every year.
#14 "the man who invented Christmas " is wonderful. It is added to our annual must watch at Christmas time.
But I'm disappointed that Spirited wasn't mentioned. I just saw that film and I'm blown away by it
How do you, with a straight face, put klaus below polar express, Jim Carrey’s grinch, and love actually? Also didn’t Happiest Season get a ton of hate when it came out?
Wanna come to the grinch? I’d prefer the 3-D animated one
Definitely Polar Express. Happy sunday afternoon, Samantha (and happy holiday season as well) take care and God bless you, and greetings from Colombia.
My Uncle and his family got me introduced to Home Alone 3 and The Christmas Chronicles. I wasn’t too sure about it at first but I fell in love with it
You can't pay me to watch 20,19,18,17,16,15,12,11,10,9,8,7,5,4,3,2,1and all the honorable mentions
Muppets Christmas Carol should have been mentioned and Home Alone
They were both released before the year 2000.
the christmas story sequel with the original cast was amazing. it should be here.
My ultimate favorite Christmas movies are the grinch who stole Christmas with Jim carrey and Emmett otters jug band Christmas with Jim Henson muppets
