Happy Yule! Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! 2022!

For years, we've been compiling a list of yuletide movies that we watch throughout the month of December! This is our movie itinerary for Yule this year 2022, these are the movies that we either prefer to only watch during this specific time, or movies we were not able to get to earlier in the month!

Although we try to hit every movie that's on this list, we don't always succeed. Life gets busy and we don't always have all the time that we want to binge like we would prefer! But we always give it a solid attempt and are typically successful!

The 2022 Yuletide Playlist!

1.     Muppet Christmas Carol

2.     Home Alone 1 & 2

3.     Family Man

4.     Santa Clause 1 (we’re not big fans of the sequels)

5.     Four Christmases

6.     Elf

7.     The Nightmare Before Christmas

8.     Jingle All The Way

9.     National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation

This is the main itinerary for this year, but keep in mind that it often looks a bit different year to year!
