Each year I ask my family and friends, and friend’s children and children from our neighborhoods for their Christmas movie suggestions and this the year I decided to take the responses from the past few years and tally up the results to find the 15 best Christmas movies for kids, as voted by kids and parents of our community! They are listed as a countdown, with number 1 being the most popular of all.
There are many on this the list that are especially good choices for families with young children but I would suggest checking out the reviews on the Common-Sense Media website for any titles that you are unfamiliar with. I like the level of information they provide about each movie in their reviews, plus they give age recommendations from parents and children too.
