Our Christmas Movie Lineup

December 3, 2019 By Kari 3 Comments

Here’s our Christmas movie lineup – all the movies we love and how I aim to watch them all for FREE. Share your must-watch holiday movies in the comment section below.Β 

Christmas movie LineupThere’s nothing quite like a holiday-movie marathon to add to the magic of the season. Most of the time we keep tech to a minimum but our December is filled with cuddles on the couch watching the classics.

Christmas Movie Lineup: My Strategy

If you don’t already have the DVD (and still own a DVD player for that matter), my strategy is trying to keep our holiday movie marathons totally free! I know this will be different for all of us. We have Telus cable and I’ve noted beside each movie title where I found all of our fave movies to watch.

As of about a week ago, I sought out our faves and made sure I scheduled them for recording ahead of time. Many of our favourites often play on regular cable in December. What I do is first check Netflix. If the movie I’m searching for isn’t there then do a search on cable. I typically find it here and record it. This way we can watch it all season long for free. If it’s not on regular cable, I then check Crave through Telus, and then my last resort is paying On Demand.

Christmas Movies I Love To Watch Solo

I’m a rom-com lover so there’s nothing quite like curling up with a giant bowl of popcorn and a glass of wine (Hello, Olivia Pope) and getting all the feels from some magical Christmas romance. Here are my faves:

  • Love Actually– Found this one for FREE on Crave through Telus.
  • The Holiday– recorded this one (FREE) through cable.
  • The Family Stone– only available On Demand.
  • The Family Man– only available On Demand.
  • Four Christmases– only available On Demand.
  • Serendipity– only available On Demand.

Christmas Movies We Watch As A Family (Or Just Me and My Hubs)

  • One Magic Christmas– only available On-Demand.
  • Polar Express– recorded this one (FREE) through cable.
  • Elf- recorded this one (FREE) through cable.
  • Home Alone (1&2)– available on cable but no recording, Also available On-Demand.
  • The Grinch– FREE on Crave through Telus.
  • Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer– recorded this one (FREE) through cable.
  • An Elf’s Story– (I still cannot find this one anywhere)! Any ideas?
  • Miracle on 34 Street– recorded FREE on cable.
  • A Christmas Story– recorded FREE on cable.
  • Christmas Vacation– On-Demand only.

Share your comments below! What’s your favourite holiday movie and what is your ritual for watching it?

    Try the library for ones you can’t find for free on TV! I NEVER pay to rent movies although it can take some patience for the new releases!

It's been a wild and heavy week, hasn't it? I'm de It's been a wild and heavy week, hasn't it? I'm definitely feeling it. Still processing much I've what I've watched, seen, and heard.

There's a lot to sift through online, but here are a few videos that are definitely worth the time - to bring perspective, some joy, and some love. I've posted some in my stories this week but wanted a permanent place on my feed. The links are all clickable in my bio. 

Watch @marielle.elizabeth's video "Being Healthy Doesn't Make Your Life More Valuable" https://www.instagram.com/p/CNoItr8ANtC/.

Watch @celeighcardinal's new music video which celebrates community, friendship, and all forms of love.

Meet a remarkable family. The family of Rob White - the man who presumed drowned after trying to save a dog in the river last week - spoke on love, kindness and legacy on #RealTalkRJ. I was honestly bawling the whole time (starts at the 1:20 mark): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IG7s3JsUT6Q

I'm also heartbroken to hear about another unnecessary loss. Daunte Wright. To the black community - I'm sorry. I'm so sorry you're having to go through this again. 

Hugs to you, friends. ❀

Although this photo is from a year ago, the setting will be exactly the same for Ry's second pandemic birthday: cocktails πŸ₯‚and Crispy Crunch Cake πŸŽ‚. It's all you truly need, isn't it? Your family, delicious food, and fabulous cocktails! 😊

I won't get too mushy but I love this guy so much. He LIVES life to the fullest. Always bringing the fun, he cares deeply, and loves unconditionally.❀❀ If you haven't already done so check out his show Real Talk at RyanJespersen.com. 

Oh - and the cake recipe is at KariSkelton.com (link in my bio). Only three ingredients! πŸ•ΊπŸ™Œ

Curious- how are you handling planning for summer? Curious- how are you handling planning for summer?πŸ– I'm hoping we'll be at a place in this pandemic where we can road trip with friends, but I don't know.πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ 

Are you booking or have you already booked everything just in case and then will cancel if need be? 

Last summer we rented a motorhome and camped in Kananaskis and it was amazing!🏞 If you're still trying to convince your spouse that the family needs a trailer (like I am 😊), check out RVezy.com - an RV rental marketplace where you rent from private owners (kind of like Air BNB). We had a great experience! πŸ™ŒπŸ€
