Good Christmas DVD ideas to go into Christmas Eve Hampers!

Now don't think I've gone mad asking this in August! :rotfl::rotfl:

Can anyone recommend Christmas DVDs?

I want to put 3 into the Christmas Eve hampers I am making for my Mum, brother and OH. Ages are 30's, 40's and 60's

I really want them to be seasonal and fun or heart warming

I thought about He Man and She Ra for my brother as he used to watch this when he was younger

Does anyone have any better ideas as I'm a bit stuck :confused:

  • I think this is a great idea!

    Someone has posted this "Best Christmas DVD" on Amazon:

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Best-Christmas-DVDs/lm/2ZY72ZZ387L50

    and here's another:

    Home Alone makes me laugh every time I watch it and it does have a Christmas theme too, so that would be my choice.

    My favourite xmas films are Love Actually and The Holiday. Both very girlie and heartwarming/feel good. Probably better suited to your mum rather than your brother or OH! For them how about Santa Claus The Movie - I am in my 30's and that is always the film I remember being on tv every year. Or like someone else suggested christmas specials for their favourite tv shows, e.g Only Fools & Horses, Doctor Who etc.

  • I love Mickey's Christmas Carol! Home Alone is another fab one. For my brother, I'd probably give him Die Hard or something actiony set around Xmas.

    It's a Wonderful Life

    and Scrooge with Alastair Sim

    Because by then you've blown your chances. That's it."

    Thanks everyone!

    A lot of these are on the amazon link and I have 7 new ones in my basket from marketplace sellers for less than £15 plus postage probably taking it to £22

    Gremlins (1984) - brother
    Scrooge (1951) - mum
    It's A Wonderful Life (1946) - me
    Miracle on 34th Street (1947) - mum
    Christmas with the Simpsons (1990) - OH/brother
    National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989) - OH
    Blackadder Christmas Carol (1988) - me

    Might succumb to the Muppets Christmas Carol for mum instead
