Raised as an elf, Buddy (Will Ferrell) grows into an adult three times larger than the biggest elf--and realizes that he will never truly fit in at the North Pole. This holiday season, Buddy goes looking for his true place in the world--in New York City. (WARNER BROS)BOB NEWHART, WILL FERRELL

At FanSided Entertainment, we’re celebrating Christmas in July! If you need a movie or two to get into the holiday spirit this summer, we’ve got 10! Here’s where you can watch holiday movies online to celebrate with us.

Summer vacations are fun and all, but we can’t be out and about all three summers. Not to mention, the temperatures outside are only getting hotter! And while the pandemic period is fading thanks to more vaccines, this summer is best spent indoors (for the most part).

To escape the heat, why not enjoy a few nights on the couch watching some of the best holiday movies? Christmas in July is the perfect “holiday” to celebrate. It’s fun, nostalgic, and while it may make you miss Christmas time even more, you’ll feel warm and fuzzy watching these movies.

From Elf to the Santa Clause franchise, we all have our go-to holiday classics we never grow tired of watching. What are your favorite Christmas movies? Let’s see if they made the list!
