My Top 10 Favourite Holiday Movies

I'm always so interested to see which movies everyone loves around the holidays. I can honestly say that one of my favouite things to do is to bundle up under blankets with some hot chocolate or tea, throw on some Christmas movies and nibble on cookies. Below are my top 10 Favourite Holiday Movies.

1) Mickey's A Christmas Carol

2) Arthur Christmas

3) Elf

4) The Grinch

Both the 1966 Cartoon and the 2000 version with Jim Carey

5) Home Alone

6) Home Alone 2

7) The Holiday

8) Love Actually

9) New Years Eve

10) Office Christmas Party

Frosty the Snowman (1969) and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (1964) deserve an honorable mention because if they happen to be on tv I always enjoy giving them a watch.

I also make a point to watch all of the Christmas episodes of the Office (FAVE) and Friends.

I also love watching Harry Potter around Christmas but I'm not really sure why. Anyways, I know that my list doesn't mention some popular movies and while I enjoy movies that aren't on this list as well, they aren't ones I go out of my way to watch.

I'd love to hear your favourite movies to watch over the holidays. I'm sure there are movies I haven't seen that I would love to add to my list. I only discovered Arthur Christmas a few years ago and it's become a fave so I'm always open to hearing what everyone else is loving.

Today, in honour of #tbt, I'm excited (and slightly horrified) to share with you my Holiday Survival Guide. This video is from 2012 and I think the advice still stands true today! Enjoy!

Styling Pants for the Holidays

One look that I wanted to put together for the holidays was a pant look. Last year I started hosting some dinners at our home and it's important to me that I'm comfortable while I'm getting dinner together. It's not that I'm not comfortable in a dress, but when I'm prepping dinner I am more of a pants gal. Even though I want to be comfortable I do like to dress up a little because my evenings out are at a minimum these days and I like getting use out of the "fancy" side of my wardrobe sometimes lol.

I've had these high waisted pants for almost 10 years and they are a go-to for me when I want my comfortable look to be a little more elevated. Any black trousers that you're comfortable in will do the trick. I love how quickly a trouser can change the look of an outfit I would regularly wear with jeans. Paired with one of my favourite black blouses, my black pumps that I always wear, some glitzy earrings and my sequinned clutch (which if you remember, is one of the two evening bags I have so it was my only choice and I'm happy with it) I'm holiday ready.

Honestly, everything I'm wearing here is old (like, I'm talking 5-10 years old) so I'm going to link some fun trousers that are similar-ish and would be great for the holidays. I'm a fan of Zara trousers because they are budget friendly. I love these tuxedo trousers, these crepe trousers look great or there is this shimmery velvet pair that would be amazing for a holiday party.
