The Best '80s Christmas Movies for When You're Feeling Nostalgic
For Ree Drummond, there are few things in life that are better than a good ‘80s movie. It’s the greatest decade ever, what can The Pioneer Woman say?! But when December rolls around, there actually is something more delightful than one of the romantic comedies from back then. What could that possibly be, you wonder? Just the best ‘80s Christmas movies, of course.
You may not even realize it, but some of the best Christmas films ever made were released in the ‘80s. Ralphie and his Red Ryder BB Gun, Clark and his insane decorations, and John McClane with his dashing good looks and famous one-liners—all classic Christmas movies from that time! Nothing will ever beat It’s a Wonderful Life or Elf for Ree, but those are some pretty close seconds.
This list of the best '80s Christmas films out there will help you figure out what to watch. But after that, you’ll need a few other things to complete your cozy Christmas movie night: some blankets, a lot of Christmas cookies, and your loved ones nearby. Oh, and it wouldn’t hurt for everyone to dress in their matching holiday PJs. They’ll keep you feeling warm and festive!
