The most festive films of all time…

‘Tis the time for holiday movie magic!

With a recent surge of 20% in searches for the ‘best Christmas Films,’ totalling over 70,000 queries, the quest for the ultimate festive movie is in full swing. The question remains: is it a timeless classic or a contemporary gem that steals the show?

Interested in finding out researchers conducted an in-depth study based on festive elements, such as the number of Christmas trees, and how many times Santa appears and kisses under the mistletoe, to assign each film a score to measure how festive they are. BestCasinoSites.net was then able to crown the official most festive film of all time.

Starring Jim Carrey, How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) is crowned the most festive film of all time with 586 points. The film scored the most points (50) for Christmas Outfit Appearances and Present Appearances (66 points) out of all the considered films. The word “Santa” is said eleven times, adding 22 points to the scoreline, and the classic ‘Down the Chimney’ scene happened four times (adding 8 points). However, the film didn’t score any points on the Christmas element, Santa Claus’s Appearance.

In second place was no more than Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch (2018), scoring 484 points. With an animated version of Mr. Grinch dubbed by Benedict Cumberbatch, the film got the highest points for Christmas Food Appearance (15 points), Carol Singer Appearance (4 points), Sleigh and/or Reindeer Appearance (14 points) and Down the Chimney (18 points).

Considered a modern-day Christmas staple, Love Actually makes the top three with 406 points. This festive flick scored the highest points (135) for Christmas Trees Appearance. But, surprisingly, it gets zero points for Kisses Under Mistletoe.

Scoring only 97 points, the least Christmassy film of all time is the musical White Christmas.
