How to Pick a Christmas Movie to Watch
The hardest part of watching a Christmas movie is picking out which movie to watch first! Everyone has their own favorites and as December moves along you might start feeling like you’re running out of time and will miss your personal favorites.
To make it easy to pick a Christmas movie to watch for your whole group, simply pull up this Christmas Movies Bingo Card and use one of these 4 methods to pick a movie to watch:
Pick a Number: Ask your Voice Assistant (like Siri, Google Assistant, or Alexa) to pick a number between 1-25. Then, just go down the bingo sheet (or use our number guide above) to count from left to right, top to bottom, until you get to the named number! We prefer to have two numbers named, then decide between two movies as a group.
Take a Vote: Let your family members nominate a movie from the list and then everyone votes! If you have a large group, you can have half of the group nominate and the other half vote. For example, maybe the kids nominate movies and the parents pick!
Go in Order: You can simply watch the movies in the random order we’ve already selected for you! It will provide a good variety from one movie to the next mixing in kids titles with chick flicks and the classics so you have a different movie style each night!
Point and Watch: Close your eyes, swirl your finger around and around and the point! Whichever movie you land on is the one to watch that night!
How to Use the Christmas Bingo
Simply save or print the PDF Christmas Movies list below. A note on printing: Make sure you select borderless printing as the margins are already built into the file!
Now, just post your 25 Days of Christmas Movies list somewhere visible to help you remember your goal to watch Christmas movies together as a family throughout the holiday season.
If you plan to watch 25 movies consecutively, you’ll want to start on December 1st and watch one movie every day with your final movie on Christmas Day (December 25th). Of course, you can adjust your timeline to best fit your needs or aim for 10 Days of Christmas movies if you have a very busy holiday schedule.
It works best if you pick a time and make a plan as a family and try your best to stick to it! Of course, you may have some other holiday events that shift your regular family Christmas movie time, but no worries! Just adjust as needed. But having a pre-scheduled time will help with consistency and keeping this fun holiday tradition going!
Now, just mark off your movies as you make it through the list! We like to have a fun treat whenever we get a bingo. Maybe that could be making these Christmas Sugar Cookies together the next day or going caroling with our Christmas Songbook printables!
Sometimes it’s a lot simpler, like popping popcorn or driving around to see Christmas lights! If you’re looking to expand on the tradition, you can use our Winter Activities Bingo Printable for fun ideas to include as family activities!
