When you snuggle next to a warm fire, when you sip your hot chocolate, when you nibble on peppermint bark, you know you must be watching your favorite Holiday movie. It is perfect to do any night, especially on a chilly evening with friends and family. Some must watches: Home Alone, The Grinch, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Christmas with the Kranks, Frosty the Snowman, The Polar Express, A Christmas Story, and A Christmas Vacation.
