This December, holiday traditions may look a little different. Malls are less crowded, school is hybrid, and many families cannot see relatives for the holidays. One thing we can all find comfort in this season is holiday movies! Our favorite characters reappear after a long, crazy year. Here is Pantherbook’s top ten holiday movies for December 202o.

1. Elf: Buddy the Elf goes on a quest to New York City to find his dad. But an elf in the city? Definitely doesn’t blend in with the crowd.
2. The Santa Clause: Watch Tim Allen transform from a distant father to Santa Claus in this film. Plus there is two more you can watch after! (Santa Clause 2 and Santa Clause 3)
3. Home Alone: When 8 year old Kevin McCallister accidentally gets left behind before a holiday trip, he is in charge of warding off two men trying to break in to his home!
