Start a new Christmas Tradition in December. This Countdown to Christmas movie challenge is a great way to stay in the holiday spirit all month long!

Christmas Movie List Challenge - Christmas Bucket List for Movies

Is your family the kind that puts their Christmas tree up right after Halloween? Okay, maybe not THAT soon. But if you like being in the Christmas spirit all December long, you’ll love this printable challenge!

Countdown to Christmas Movie Challenge

On this free printable you will find many of the most loved Christmas classics. Treat this as a Christmas movie bucket list of sorts, your very own list of Christmas Traditions.

There are 25 movies listed, so you can watch one per day or save up a few for each weekend. No matter how your family decides to watch these films, you are guaranteed to be in for some heartwarming moments and lots of laughs!

Example movies you’ll find in the Christmas Movie Challenge include:

  • The Polar Express
  • Jingle All the Way
  • Christmas Story
  • Christmas with the Kranks
  • A Christmas Carol
  • Scrooged
  • Elf

There really is something for everyone on this list. Many are great for families to watch together. If you find one of the list that you don’t think your family would like, change it out for a guaranteed favorite.

It would be great if you find some new favorite holiday flicks after completing this challenge though.

What You Need for this Movie Challenge

Okay, so really and truly, the only things you need are a TV and the DVDs of each film (or the ability to stream them to your TV). However, nothing says it’s a Christmas movie night like the following:

With all of these items on hand, it’s sure to be a great movie night. Plus, turn off the lights and watch the movie with the light of the TV and Christmas tree only for a true cozy holiday feeling.

You can also share these movies with friends and loved ones. Each weekend in December, host a family movie night. Show one or two films off the Christmas Movie Challenge printable. Everyone will love the time spent together and watching some of their favorite holiday movies.

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD.

You know I love a low cost Random Act of Kindness. It’s such an easy way to tell someone you are thinking about them. Use them for teachers, neighbors, family and friends. Often, in the checkout line at the grocery store, I grab an extra piece of candy and attach a cute printable gift tag.

How to Have Amazing Printables

I had someone  ask why my printables always look so great. My secrete is I outsource printing them. I have a great printable, but it goes through ink so fast – okay maybe not so great. I use Staples Printing Service Page. It’s low cost and affordable and saves my printer ink.

I have a video to show you how I print my PDF documents at Staples.

Enjoy and Happy Halloween!

Our Pinterest community and I would love to see how this worked out for you. Share your final Halloween Gift Idea Treat Bag.  Leave a comment and/or add a photo here on Pinterest!

We love our teachers. No tricks when it comes to how amazing they are! Look at all these Teacher Halloween gift ideas (with treats!) Pin to Pinterest.
