“It’s a Wonderful List:” Our Top 5 Favorite Christmas Movies

Christmas is a wonderful time of the year, and what better way to celebrate it than by watching some of the best Christmas movies ever made? Well, stocking up on pre-rolls or gummies before the movie probably makes it better, but what movie do you watch along with? 

Whether you’re looking for comedy, animation, or family fun, there’s a movie for everyone on this list. Ben, Karina, Wendy, and Trevor all have different favorite Christmas movies, so we thought we’d share them all in a list for you and the family.

Here are 5 Christmas classics you can get ready for with a basket of your favorite Go Green Botanicals products. Stuff those stockings, load a bowl, then hit play.

1. Home Alone

This is the ultimate Christmas coming-of-age story, starring Macaulay Culkin as Kevin McCallister – an eight-year-old boy who is accidentally left behind when his family goes on a holiday trip. Kevin has to fend off two bumbling burglars, played by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern, who try to rob his house. Along the way, he learns some valuable lessons about family, friendship, and courage. Home Alone is full of hilarious scenes, memorable quotes, and heartwarming moments that make it a must-watch every year.

We recommend plenty of popcorn and some CBD or Delta Chocolates, or even some Tillman’s Tranquils Delta 9 Mints.

2. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

This is the oldest movie on this list, but also one of the most beloved. Based on the famous song, this animated film tells the story of Rudolph, a reindeer who is born with a glowing red nose. He is rejected by his peers and runs away, only to meet a group of misfit toys who are also looking for a place to belong. Together, they embark on an adventure to find Santa Claus and save Christmas. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a charming and uplifting movie that teaches us to embrace our differences and be proud of who we are.

For the kids, get your hot cocoa ready and keep it pouring. For yourself? Our Delta 8 Straight Dranks can be sipped all movie long. And right now all Straight Dranks are 30% off.

3. Christmas Vacation

This is another hilarious comedy, starring Chevy Chase as Clark Griswold, a father who wants to have the perfect Christmas with his family. However, everything goes wrong, from a disastrous tree-cutting expedition, to a malfunctioning light display, to an unexpected visit from his eccentric relatives. Clark tries to keep his spirits up, but soon reaches his breaking point. Christmas Vacation is a relatable and funny movie that shows us the joys and challenges of spending the holidays with our loved ones.

Play a game and every time you hear “Merry Christmas,” take a puff of your favorite CBD strain.

4. Bad Santa

This is a dark comedy, starring Billy Bob Thornton as Willie, a con man who poses as a mall Santa every year with his partner, played by Tony Cox. They use their disguise to rob the stores at night, but their plan is complicated when Willie befriends a lonely kid, played by Brett Kelly, who believes he is the real Santa. Willie also falls in love with a bartender, played by Lauren Graham, who has a fetish for Santa. Bad Santa is a raunchy and irreverent movie that subverts the typical Christmas cliches and makes us laugh out loud.

Put the kids to bed before you start this one, then break out some potent flower to get in the spirit.

5. Elf

This is a modern classic, starring Will Ferrell as Buddy, a human who was raised by elves in the North Pole. He discovers that he is not an elf, but the son of a businessman, played by James Caan, who lives in New York. He decides to travel to the city to find his father and experience the human world. Along the way, he meets a cynical journalist, played by Zooey Deschanel, who helps him adjust to his new surroundings.
