As a bit of fun in the lead up to Christmas, we thought we’d introduce the Christmas Films Battle!

For this first phase, 16 well-known and loved Christmas films have been selected. It was a tough job, but someone had to do it. They have been entered into a random draw generator to keep things fair, so now all that’s left is to vote…

Pick your favorites from the following pairs to move them through to the Quarter-Final stage! You have until Wednesday 8th December to share your choices. If anything is unclear or you have any questions let me know!


Elf v Love Actually

Nativity! v Muppets Christmas Carol

The Polar Express v The Grinch (1999)

Scrooged v Frozen

The Holiday v Die Hard

Miracle on 34th Street v It’s A Wonderful Life

White Christmas v Home Alone

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer v The Santa Clause

 

Enjoy! ?


P.S. You can also vote for your favourite Christmas songs if you haven't already here.

    @Tori_Scope giving a first vote to 'It's A Wonderful Life' there, a Christmas classic if you ask me!

    Looks like The Santa Clause is beating Rudolph hands down at the moment...

    Sorry @leeCal, it was so very hard to choose just 16!  :D Thanks for voting

    I bet it could have easily been 32, although that would have been a very long game :)

    @Ross_Scope maybe that's a challenge for you, come up with an entirely different, but equally good set of Christmas films...not easy  :D

    It's also a good way to prevent the "Is Die Hard a Christmas film or not?" debate breaking out. Just don't include it.
