Fave Holiday Movies – Spiel the Beans Linkup
Welcome to Spiel the Beans! Is there any time of year better for curling up with some cocoa and a cozy blanket to sit in front of tree and watch movies? For me this time of the year is a definitely favorite and this week Katy and I are sharing our favorite holiday movies. We hope you will join the fun and share yours.
Elf is probably my number one movie to watch with the family. We all love it and it is grown up enough for the littles but still has enough crazy humor for the bigs and the parentals. I was a little late to the party on this one but ever since I downloaded two years ago it definitely rose to the top of the list.
The Holiday is next on my list. Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, JUDE LAW!! This sweet little love story gets me every single time. It totally makes me want to hop a plane and head off to some country cottage.
It’s a little tricky because it is so not family friendly but I will find a night to stay up late and watch Love Actually at some point over the holidays. I just love all the relationship twists in this movie. It makes me laugh and cry and fall in love and want to punch someone but mostly I live for the scene when Hugh Grant dances. 🙂
Give me Rudolph every single year. I seriously remember my little brother crying every single year when we watched this movie. I bet he would still get a little teary eyed today. Being more of the underdog kind of girl, I was always feeling sorry for the abominable snowman. Haha!
Despite the fact that I’ve seen it 1000 times, this movie still makes me laugh so hard. My dad was not easily amused but y’all, he loved this movie. I can almost hear him laughing when I watch it and it so reminds me of his presence at Christmas.
We can’t wait to hear what your favorites are! Be sure to mark your calendar for December 13th and come back to share a favorite Christmas or holiday memory!
Please place a link back to this link-up in either your post or on your party page so that others can link up too. It’s a party, try to visit at least 2 other posts and show them some love! This is the fun part! Be inspired, inspire someone else – don’t just link and run!
We would love, love, love for you to follow us on some form of social media!

I've never seen the Christmas story!! Got to get on that
I love The Holiday! Finally gave in and bought the DVD so I can watch it whenever I want. Also love A Christmas Story. When my kids were small we had quite the assortment of Disney Christmas tapes that were watched nonstop in our house! Just gets you in the spirit!!
Hands down my favorite holiday movie of all time is miracle on the 34th street. I could pretty much have the volume off and repeat the whole movie verbatim while it plays. Love love love it. And a Christmas story stays on here Christmas Eve night and all day Christmas Day. My kids love it
I was just telling someone else that I need to watch Love Actually again. It has been SO long.
Elf – ha yes! Love Actually rocks as does The Holiday but keep A Christmas Story – ugh I cannot. LOL!
Elf and The Holiday made my list too! I've never seen Love Actually and would you believe I've never watched A Christmas Story all the way through? I guess I'd better get on board. Happy Tuesday Shelly!
I realize I am so far behind on the Christmas Movie thing!!! I am going to need to catch up. My problem is, if I sit down to watch TV…. I fall asleep. I don't make it through many movies 😳
My fave used to be Home Alone but these days, anything with a happy ending works just as well. Particularly if there's some comedy thrown in too 🙂

Love actually is my favorite movie of all time. It is just so darn happy! We also adore Home Alone! I've been watching it every year since I was nine!
I am working on my post to link up with you right now. I'll post it in the morning. Can you believe I have only seen Love Actually once…and I think it was in the theater, if that tells you how long it has been! I need to watch it again.
I've got to share A Christmas Story with my boys this year; I think they are at an age where they will really appreciate it. I just watched The Holiday and part of Love Actually the other night.
So funny! I just found your blog and link up (via Tractors and Glam)…I just posted my favorite Christmas movies today as well!! We share some favorites!!
I admit, I've never seen Elf before…I need to remedy that this year!
I'm always routing for the Abominable Snowman too. Poor guy. The Christmas village at Stone Mountain Georgia where we were had a Rudolph theme, so that was fun to see in all their decorations. I also put the Holiday at the top of my favorite list. It was filmed really close to where we lived over there, and I can tell you that the landscape is just as quaint and cozy as it looks in the movie. Except it doesn't snow very much there! Have a great week!
We always watch Elf, it's our family's favorite! My all time favorite has always been Rudolph though, reminds me of my childhood and brings back such great memories.
I am just like Emily, I have never seen Love Actually. I tell myself every Christmas that I will watch it but I always forget. I will watch it this year! My two favorite Christmas movies are Elf and Christmas Vacation.
How did I not include Elf on my list? I say we pick a fav or two and meet at the creek next week!
Love Actually is my favorite. Love it.
