Right, we’ve covered films and albums, but now it’s time for the serious stuff.

 

It’s Christmas Eve; the presents are wrapped; somewhere, a family member is cursing root vegetables; and we’re here to tackle the oft-debated topic of the best Christmas film ever.

 

You heard right, Sabbatical Officers and SU staff alike have thrown their collective hats into the ring to decide, once and for all, what is the best Christmas film of all time.

Warning: there are some controversial choices here, and there already exists plenty of debate as to whether some of the films on this list are actually Christmas films at all…
