Those predictable Christmas movies aren’t for everyone, but my family loves them. I mean, loves them. The storylines are all so similar, and they all wrap up within a neat hour and a half (or two hours, if you’re watching with commercials). They’re always a reliable choice to put me in a spirited mood, and nothing is better than cozying up with a mug of hot chocolate, a blanket, and your closest friends with one of these “classics.”
My mom and I have been working on a list of events that make an uncanny number of appearances throughout these movies over the past couple years, and I finally made them into bingo cards! Now you can host a Holiday Movie Bingo party and laugh your way through the predictability of these movies too. There are 8 different cards, so you can invite over as many friends as can fit in your living room. Play along by tagging @xheightment and #HolidayMovieBingo on Instagram! (Bonus: they can also double as a fun drinking game, if you so choose!)
Some of my favorite movies are the ones that come on the Hallmark channel and Lifetime, but Netflix has some great options too! Check out Christmas Crush, 12 Dates of Christmas, Holiday Engagement, Holidaze, A Christmas Kiss, The Mistletones, and All I Want for Christmas—and once if you've watched all of those, Netflix will just keep recommending Christmas movies to you until the end of time. Or at least until the end of the year!

Now I know you’re going to want to play this more than once, so instead of using traditional bingo daubers, try using Hershey’s Kisses or peppermints as markers! I found these adorable Kisses that look like Santa hats—how cute are they???
And of course, don’t forget to have prizes for the winners!
What are some of your favorite holiday movies? Are you a more traditional, Miracle on 34th Street and It's a Wonderful Life type? Or will you be playing #HolidayMovieBingo with me this year and watching all the cheesy romances?
