Yes, ‘Elf’ is awesome, but Will Ferrell screaming ‘Santa’ isn’t the only festive film highlight in our list of pop-up Christmas screenings

Christmas is right around the corner and with it, near limitless opportunities to watch a yuletide classic from the snuggly comfort of your sofa. But if there’s one thing better than hygge-enhancing home viewing – an ‘Elf’ or a ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ with whatever family members can be rounded up at short notice – it’s getting down to your local cinema and sharing the festive spirit with a screen full of like-minded revellers. Because a stranger is just a friend you haven’t watched ‘Die Hard’ with yet.

But where to start? This December London’s cinemas have a huge range of options in store. There’s singalong screenings of ‘Frozen’, eat-along screenings of ‘The Holiday’, a very special ‘Love Actually’ evening,  and ‘Home Alone’ in concert – and, of course, ‘Wonka’ will be hitting the big screen too. Here’s the best of Christmas movies on offer.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year – but is it the most wonderful time at the movies? Christmas films have something of a shaky reputation, conjuring up images of apple-cheeked brats, poorly animated reindeer and Bing Crosby in a dodgy cardigan. But the best Christmas movies have so much more to offer: in our list you’ll find psycho Santas, machine-gun terrorists and home-invading thieves – plus, of course, all the cockle-warming sentiment, feel-good frolics and classic Christmas movies for kids we demand for our festive viewing.
