The Top 10 Family Christmas Films to Watch this Christmas 🎄✨
There’s nothing quite like Christmas movie nights. The decorations are up, the tree is twinkling, and everyone’s curled up on the sofa together, sipping hot chocolate. So why not add in some matching festive onesies, such as our Elf onesie or Reindeer Onesie and you’ve got the perfect recipe for holiday happiness.
Onesies don’t just keep you warm and cosy — they make movie nights fun, comfortable, and extra memorable for the whole family.
So, zip up your favourite festive onesie and get ready for a magical movie marathon! Here is our top 10 family friendly Christmas film list for all ages for you to enjoy this holiday season.
1. Home Alone (1990)
Surely, a must-watch every Christmas and one definitely one of our favourites in our household. Kevin McCallister’s clever traps and hilarious antics keep both kids and adults laughing, while the story reminds us of how important family is. For maximum comfort, slip into one of our animal themed onesies so you’ll feel just as ready for festive fun as Kevin!
2. The Polar Express (2004)
This visually stunning film takes you on a magical train ride to the North Pole. It’s a story about wonder, belief, and the true spirit of Christmas. Pop on your fluffiest fleece onesie, pour a mug of hot chocolate with extra marshmallows, and you’ll feel like you’re right on board the train.
3. Elf (2003)
One of the best Christmas films in our mind, so much so that our office dog is named after Buddy the Elf! This film brings unfiltered joy, laughter, and a whole lot of Christmas cheer. With endless quotable lines and a feel-good story, it’s perfect for the whole family. Why not wear elf-themed onesies while you watch? It makes singing along to “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” even more fun.
4. The Santa Clause (1994)
When a regular dad unexpectedly becomes Santa, chaos (and Christmas magic) follows. It’s heartfelt, funny, and full of holiday spirit. For this one, our super soft fluffy fleece onesies are the way to go as they would keep you warm if you were at the North Pole.
5. A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)
Simple, sweet, and timeless. Charlie Brown’s little Christmas tree and the message about true holiday spirit makes this a perfect classic film for a quiet family evening. Snuggle into soft, warm onesies with a cup of tea, and enjoy the gentle charm of this short but powerful film.
6. How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)
Jim Carrey’s larger-than-life Grinch steals the show in this colourful, fun, and surprisingly moving story. By the end, everyone’s heart will grow three sizes. Green onesies are optional — but highly encouraged for extra laughs!
7. Arthur Christmas (2011)
What happens when one present doesn’t get delivered? Santa’s bumbling but loveable son Arthur springs into action. It’s funny, fast-paced, and filled with holiday warmth. This one calls for brightly patterned, silly Christmas onesies — the more colourful, the better.
8. The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)
The Muppets bring music, laughter, and magic to Dickens’s classic tale. With unforgettable songs and plenty of heart, it’s perfect for introducing kids to the story of Scrooge. Cosy character onesies (think animal prints or bright colours) will add to the fun atmosphere. Alternatively, why not seek out our Pig Onesie to recreate Miss Piggy.
9. Frosty the Snowman (1969)
Short, sweet, and endlessly charming. This animated favourite tells the story of Frosty and his magical top hat. It’s especially great for younger children. Slip into snowflake-patterned onesies, grab some frosted cookies, and enjoy the magic of Frosty’s “Happy Birthday!” moment.
10. Miracle on 34th Street (1947 or 1994)
Whether you choose the black-and-white original or the heartwarming 90s remake, this film about belief and kindness is one that brings out the true spirit of Christmas. For this cozy classic, go with traditional holiday onesies or our cosy pyjamas — bow prints, gingerbread and fair isle patterns in warm reds and greens.

Christmas movie nights are more than just films — yes, there are all the good films to watch at Christmas but it’s also a chance to snuggle up, relax, laugh together, and create memories that last a lifetime.
