6 Children’s Christmas Movies That Adults Can Enjoy Too

Christmas is a very interesting time of year for an adult. No matter what do you or how you best try to recreate the holiday, it just feels like it can never live up the way your mind remembers it from your childhood. The fuzz of nostalgia can cast a beautiful glow on anything in hindsight, but there are things we can do to get ourselves back to those moments, like watching Christmas movies. The right ones can flash us right back to when we were wearing warm pyjamas and shaking the boxes underneath the tree, trying to figure out what might be inside.

So begins the great debate: is The Nightmare Before Christmas a Christmas movie, or is it a Halloween movie?

Obviously, having it on my list of Christmas movies shows you what category I think it falls into. With Christmas as a core concept in the film, I do declare that it is officially safe to call this a Christmas movie. Hell, I consider it safe to even call this one a modern Christmas classic.

What is it about this movie that appeals to both adults AND children though? The answers are far too many to list here. From the art design, to the existential woe of Sally, to the BRILLIANT Danny Elfman soundtrack and voice work, there is very little about The Nightmare Before Christmas that doesn’t appeal to everyone.

Oh, and it has one of the best musical moments ever put on film. Don’t believe me? Just watch below.

The reality is, The Nightmare Before Christmas is timeless and its fanbase is ageless. It’s a film that can be enjoyed no matter how old or jaded you get.
