Everyone loves Christmas movies, but which ones are overall the best? Is it the new ones, or is it the classics? I decided that there was only one way to find out: Watching 25 movies for the 25 days of Christmas! I will rate everyone out of 10, 1 being the worst, and 10 being the best. I will rate them on how much Christmas spirit it has, how creative the plot was, and their overall likeness.
Day 1. The Santa Clause
Am I the only one who just realized that “Claus” is spelled wrong?
Plot: 10/10
Christmas Spirit: 6/10
Overall: 8/10

Christmas Spirit: 5/10
Overall: 5/10
Day 3. The Santa Clause 3
Was this necessary?

Tyler, the Creator, was the best part of this film because eventually making the same movie repeatedly becomes boring.

Plot: 9/10
Christmas Spirit: 4/10

Day 11. Home Alone
I am pretty sure that Kevin is a psychopath, he dropped a turned-on ironing machine on a human being and laughed at his pain…

Christmas Spirit: 9/10
Overall: 10/10
Day 12. Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

Overall: 8/10
Day 13. Home Alone 3

Yet again the same plot but slightly changed.
Plot: 3/10

Plot: 2/10
Chrismas Spirit: 0/10
Overall: 1/10
Day 17. A Year Without Santa Clause
I don’t know how you can get sick the ONE day you have to work, also the Heatmizer and Snowmizer song still is catchy.
