Top 10 Holiday Disney Movies

The holidays are around the corner. This means there are certain films people must watch every year around this time. For Disney fans, this means their favorite movies lists can become quite long. Some films are directly Christmas oriented while others are holiday related instead. In this article, the best seasonal films will be presented.

1. The Santa Clause: This movie is one of the few holiday films which always bring magical feelings into kids' souls whenever dreaming of Santa visiting on Christmas Eve. Tim Allen is the perfect Santa Clause. David Krumholtz as the Head-Elf, Bernard, is also fantastic. The creativity put into the film to describe Santa’s magic is wonderful. Many of the set designs, makeup and practical effects are great too. Due to the tremendous effort put into the world-building, it wouldn’t be surprising if this is exactly what most people think of when they envision how Santa Clause’s workshop looks and functions at the North Pole.

2. Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas: Simply because Halloween is over, doesn’t mean everyone is done with the holiday. This movie successfully managed to creatively combine two holidays into one with Christmas being secondary to Halloween. The simple story with its simple characters are brought to life in Disney’s first stop-motion animated film through Claymation style. Sally, the ragdoll, is the best character in the entire movie next to Santa. With all the Christmas elements, this movie is the perfect way to go back to Halloween while still keeping to the current season.

3. Home Alone: This movie is sure to make anyone laugh out loud. Especially if the viewers are suckers for grown men screaming out at random; assuming the wailing sounds and looks genuine. Marvin Murchins is the best character in the entire film. Daniel Stern’s acting as Marv is great. His facial expressions are hilarious. Anyone would assume Daniel’s screeches were real with his fantastic voice-acting. Overall, Daniel seemed to capture some realistic outbursts.

4. The Muppet Christmas Carol: Like Home Alone, this film has a couple of moments which can make some audience members laugh a little, despite the comedy being different. Gonzo and Rizzo are a perfect friend duo. Those two work well off each other and make their jokes work. The puppeteers are great at adding visual humor, but the voice-acting is what really sells the comedy with Steve Whitmire as Rizzo and Dave Goelz as Gonzo.

5. Winnie The Pooh: A Very Merry Pooh Year– This movie is adorable. It has the warmth and charming ability to put people into the holiday spirit. The movie is about the residents of the Hundred Acre Wood sharing what they want for Christmas. It’s a basic tale, but hoping Santa will come to gift individuals with presents is something most people can relate to doing as kids. After all, this concept is what started most of people’s passion and love for Christmas.

6. Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmas: Nothing warms the heart more than classic animation. With a narrator opening the film presenting the magic of Christmas, this movie is another film which puts me into the holiday mood. Some moments make a person’s heart melt as the three featured tales all explain the meaning of Christmas.

7. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe– Even though this movie is more of a winter favorite, the film actually does mention Christmas. Due to this, Santa is presented with his sleigh later in the movie. There’s a short scene where he hands three of the Pevensie children their designated weapons and tools to aid them in Narnia. This nod makes sense as Narnia does feature Biblical themes and Christmas is all about the birth of Jesus Christ.

8. Frozen: Although this has nothing to do with Christmas, no one can deny this film is a winter favorite. Anna, Elsa, Kristoff and Olaf are all wonderful characters in the movie. Besides, Olaf, Elsa and her “Let It Go” song have become part of the holiday. Apparently, winter magic, along with blue and silver colors; is all something needs to become associated with Christmas. Well, if not the holiday season at the very least.

9. Mickey’s Twice Upon A Christmas: This is the sequel to “Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmas” film. Firstly, the movie has a lot of problems involving character demeanors and situations. However, perhaps this is intended as Christmas isn’t always a positive season or time of the year for everyone. For some people, the holidays can bring negative feelings regardless of how much they care about their loved ones. In fact, stress, depression and feeling overwhelmed are some of the emotions expressed by the characters in the movie.

10. Frozen II: If the first Frozen movie is considered a winner favorite, then this film is too. Even though there’s still a lot of ice magic involved in the movie, the film has a lot of Autumn scenery. The characters are also dressed for the Fall season too. Yet, somehow this film isn’t marketed as an ‘Autumn favorite’ around Halloween.
