While swapping holiday movie recommendations amongst ourselves, we looked around and said — why aren’t we sharing this with the world! Our criterion for the list was simple: What’s your favorite movie to watch this time of year, holiday-themed or otherwise?

With the stage set, we wish you a very Happy New Year in 2023 from all of us at Imprint — and some cozy film-watching in the meantime:

Harry Potter (series)

“Fun-filled family viewing. Usually accompanied by seeing something new that we didn’t see the other 10 times that we’ve watched.” – Ashley Brenner, Creative Director

The Big Lebowski

“The Big Lewbowski has oddly become a holiday tradition that I share with my sister. Even though we live states away, around this time of year we’ll watch ‘The Big Lebowski’ with a white russian in hand and send a pic of it to each other.” – Jenna Gardner, Director

James Bond (series)

“It’s got be Bond. Any James Bond. Preferably one with Sean Connery.” – Duncan Milne, Managing Director

Star Wars

“When I was a kid in Puerto Rico, ‘Star Wars’ would always play during the holidays so now I associate sci-fi with the season. I’m re-watching ‘The Mandalorian’ right now.” – Hanibal Negron, Director

Love Actually

“It’s more of just a fun, heart-filled movie set during the holidays. What a killer cast! It’s a bit schmaltzy, but isn’t that a thread across most holiday movies?” – Andy Seibert, Managing Partner

Fight Club

“My family has a tradition of getting together to watch one non-holiday movie this time a year. Whether it’s ‘Fight Club,’ ‘Olympus Has Fallen,’ or ‘Beetljuice,’ we always find something that has nothing to do with the holiday season! Fight Club is our go-to choice because you notice something new every re-watch.” – Robert Gonzalez, Senior Analyst

The Holiday

“’The Holiday’ (to watch on my own or with friends) and ‘Home Alone’ (to watch with my son). ‘The Holiday’ has just enough of a holiday feel but is also a cute love story. ‘Home Alone’ is a classic that never gets old.” – Julissa Ortiz, Director

Goodfellas

“I love the Christmas party scene in Goodfellas. Like many a family holiday party, things go a little sour, but all ends well when De Niro gives Ray Liotta his big Christmas bonus. After all, it is the giving season.” – Nelson Peña, Senior Copywriter

How the Grinch Stole Christmas

“For as long as I can remember, my family has watched the original 1966 version of this Dr. Seuss classic every Christmas Eve.” – Kim Papa Amadeo, Editorial Director

Peewee’s Playhouse Christmas Special

“My sister and I have indulged in this Christmas special every year since for as long as I can remember. Although it is wildly outdated, it never gets old. We now pair it with a (few) glass(es) of wine.” – Lucy Warner, Associate Marketing Manager

Mixed Nuts

“It’s off-beat and not your typical Holiday movie, but it’s definitely fun and heart warming.” Hanibal Luis Negron, Director

Elf

“Both ‘Elf’ and ‘Home Alone’ are regular viewing traditions in our house. Peter Dinklage as the cranky children’s book author in a pre-GoT role is an ‘Elf’ highlight. And the kid delivering the pizza who goes from blasé to terrified in 3 seconds thanks to Kevin’s clever use of old movie clips makes me laugh out loud every time.” – Meg Sullivan, Managing Director

The Family Stone

“This has become a new fav in recent years. I’ve always loved movies about big families, and watching all of the dynamics play out. I also love the house in this movie, it seems like the perfect place to spend the holidays (minus all of the family drama!)” – Molly Malinowski, Director

National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation

“My family would watch this together each year. It’s just such a funny movie!” – Peter Gallagher, Director of Finance

Home Alone

“’Home Alone’ for a good laugh, and ‘The Family Stone’ for a good cry. Also, both feature quintessential holiday houses as their settings.” – Ryan Mohland, Associate Director

A Charlie Brown Christmas

“This has been my holiday classic for many years. I love the vintage quality of this cartoon. The music is also amazing — it’s the perfect blend of classic holiday music and jazz!” – Lisanne Gagnon, Art Director

The Muppet Christmas Carol

“It’s a charming, family-friendly adaption of Dickens’ classic. Michael Cain bickering with Statler and Waldorf (who play a saucy Marley brothers) never gets old.” – Colter Hettich, Managing Editor
