Michigan's Top 5 Favorite Christmas Movies

These five Christmas movies came out on top as our favorites in Michigan:

5. A Christmas Story (1983)

You know it's officially Christmas day when this is on television for 24 hours straight. An absolute classic with so many memorable quotes like 'Frageelay and 'You'll shoot your eye out.' And who can forget the pink bunny suit Ralphie receives as a Christmas gift.

4. Elf (2003)

Speaking of quotable Christmas movies, this one has way too many to count. Another classic we can have on repeat throughout the month of December. And maybe it didn't win Will Ferrell an Oscar nomination, but this has to be one of his best movies he's ever made.
