I’m his friend!” A perfect commonplace to make kids and adults laugh, no one can resist the joy of watching a man dressed wearing an elf costume make the swoop on an elevator.

13. “National Lampoon’s” Christmas Vacation
A different John Hughes Christmas comedy, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation stars Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo as Clark and Ellen Griswold of the Griswold family. If you’ve not heard about the Griswold family, they’re said with the most haphazard Christmas ever.
14. It’s Christmas at Miracle Lake
Many Christmas films begin tragically sad; however, this one elevates it to a new level.
