Top Best Christmas Comedy Movies of All Time

By Amarendra Bhushan for CEOWORLD Magazine Updated:December 22, 2009

I love movies and I love Christmas! Christmas is almost here. Time to breakout the Christmas DVD’s. There are tons of holiday movies to watch. Sometimes I want a change of pace from the traditional Christmas movie, I want to laugh. For the holidays, I seem to go for the humor, here are MY favorite movies to watch at the most wonderful time of the year!

A Christmas Story (1983)

The film relates the tale of Ralphie Parker (Peter Billingsley), who wants a BB Gun for Christmas (specifically, “an official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle, with a compass in the stock and ‘this thing’ which tells time”) and will go to any lengths to get it despite the numerous adult admonitions of “you’ll shoot your eye out.”

A Christmas Story is on my list as one of the best Christmas films of all time. I have yet to find another Christmas film that encompasses the spirit of the holiday as well as A Christmas Story does. Like It’s A Wonderful Life, A Christmas Story was not well received in theaters when it was first released. However, A Christmas Story found new life on cable, popping up like chestnuts over a fire as the Christmas season neared.

Bridget Jones Diary (2001 Renee Zellweger, Hugh Grant, Colin Firth)

Bridget Jones (Renee Zellweger) is an average woman struggling with her job, weight, age, lack of a man, and many imperfections. As a New Year’s Resolution, she decides to take control of her life by keeping a diary in which she’ll always tell the complete truth. Fireworks fly for the quirky Miss Jones when her charming but smarmy boss Daniel (Hugh Grant) takes an interest in her. Mix in Bridget’s band of eccentric friends and a rather disagreeable acquaintance (Colin Firth) she can’t seem to stop thinking about, and you’ve got a recipe for disaster that most of us can relate to.

Bad Santa (2003)

This holiday season the traditional Christmas tale will never be the same with the cleverly twisted, merrily irreverent story of a Santa so bad he’s wickedly funny. Terry Zwigoff’s BAD SANTA stars…

Call Me Claus (2001)

As a child, Lucy Cullins asked Santa Claus to bring her father home from Vietnam. But when her dad returned in a pine box, the embittered Lucy decided that Christmas — and every other holiday for that matter — was a humbug….

Christmas Do-Over (2006)

This ABC holiday family feature stars Jay Mohr as a divorced guy just trying to get through Christmas. He intends to keep things simple by picking up a gift for his son in the morning, then dropping it off at his ex-wife’s house and leaving before any drama results, but soon Kevin realizes this won’t be possible when he starts reliving the same day over and over! He’s hardly filled with holiday spirit to begin with, but Kevin may be forced to rethink the meaning of Christmas, after all.
