It's Christmas, friends! If you don't believe us, turn on your TV, you will quickly understand. Cheesy TV movies, mass reruns of movies featuring the big bearded guy, hosts and channel logos in costumes, everything suggests that we live in a world ruled by Coca-Cola. We will take you through the most famous depictions of the Christmas spirit in the last three decades.
How many Christmas movies have been made? A bunch! It's simple, there are at least ten new ones every year. Here are our favorites, completely subjectively:
Home Alone
Everything is great about this movie, the story of the mischievous family, the actors' performances, the two dumb burglars, the music, but above all: the final scene with all the traps.

The toy race
All the children in town want the Turboman action figure, the coolest superhero on the planet. But what Jamie really wants is for his dad to spend more time with him. In an exhausting toy race, Jamie's dad will have to discover for himself what truly matters during the holiday season. A heartwarming tale of fatherhood just the way we like it!
Gremlins
Gremlins is one of the most iconic films of the 80s generation. It's a metaphor for children turning into horrors when their whims are indulged. Never feed a Mogwai after midnight, or you'll regret it...

The Strange Christmas of Mr. Jack
What better example to reconcile with the spirit of Christmas than this masterpiece by Tim Burton? The story takes place in the world of holidays, where the Halloween officials clumsily try to understand the Christmas spirit...

Christmas with the Muppets
The Muppets' adaptation of a Christmas carol by Charles Dickens is one of the few movies that made me sad. Yes, you wouldn't think so, but this film is truly heartbreaking... Maybe I'm affected by the child's death, that's my sensitive side. It's worth noting the accuracy of Mr. Scrooge, played by Michael Caine, before becoming Christopher Nolan's iconic character.
Friends
Among the many Christmas episodes of our beloved series, if we had to choose just one, it would be this episode of "Friends". The one where Ross tries in vain to explain Hanukkah to his dazzled son, who is captivated by Santa Claus. Ross attempts to impress him with a better costume... one of a armadillo... the only one available at the store.
