A new survey has found that Home Alone is the nation's favourite Christmas film.

Video-on-demand service blinkbox's survey of 2,000 adults revealed that Christmas is the time we watch the most television, with the average adult spending five and a half hours a day in front of the TV over the festive period.

The poll also asked participants about their viewing habits over the Yuletide period, and discovered that 78% of people like to watch the same movie every Christmas.

Home Alone emerged as the favourite movie for families to watch over Christmas, winning 28% of the total vote. Close behind was the classic Raymond Briggs animation The Snowman, with 27% of the vote.

Rounding out the top five were Miracle on 34th Street (26%), Elf (20%), and Love Actually (18%). Star Keira Knightley recently revealed her delight at the romcom becoming an established holiday classic.

The findings also revealed that the majority of British adults (53%) admit they have seen some movies and TV shows so many times that they can recite the actors' lines verbatim.

Additionally, it was discovered that nearly half of us (49%) will watch 25 hours of repeats over a 10-day period.

Home Alone came second to The Muppet Christmas Carol in Digital Spy's run-down of readers' top Christmas films last year.

While i do like Home Alone and Home Alone 2.

It isn't the greatest. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, for me.

Every year i moan it is on but i still watch it and laugh. Another film i watch also is Batteries Not Included. That is usually on around christmas time too.

I forgot to say...

But I still like getting presents.

I think we should change it's name to Consumermas.

And everyone knows the best Christmas movie is The Muppet Christmas Carol.

Along with "A Muppet Christmas: Letters to Santa" & "It's A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie" & " A Muppet Family Christmas"

Not forgetting Bad Santa, Fred Claus & Scrooged.

I'd go with Christmas Vacation, Scrooged, Lethal Weapon (which is a Christmas movie as far as I'm concerned) and Bad Santa over Home Alone.

But I still like Home Alone.

I didn't like that as much I wanted to plus it reminds me of bad times (received the call my dad had died during that movie :( )

    • Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2 Ergonomic Office Chair review: The Ikea of chairs

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Huh? I have an Aeron Remastered and the backrest cannot go up or down (only the lumbar is adjustable). Yes, the Doro C300 Pro V2's backrest can be locked, but the locking mechanism is so weak that when you recline and lean back the backrest moves with your body. I think the whole purpose of this chair is that all of the moving parts (except for the rocking, which can be locked in place) are supposed to move with your body, as you shift your weight, that's why I couldn't get used to it. Some people might like it though. Its redeeming factor is the price, I mean it costs like a quarter of what a new Herman MIller (Aeron) costs.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By excalpius · Posted

      I notice how you dodged the questions I had about the racism shown by ignorant, gullible, cowardly people when the Poles, like your partner, were the immigrants. Ahem. I wonder how you'd feel if native born Brits suddenly treated you as "dirty crooked immigrant" for being half Trump-American? If they ordered you to leave and "go back to your corrupt country" (on the other side of the Atlantic), would you go? The truth is based on facts as supported by evidence. As requested in your previous posts, I have used the facts in your own post to show everyone the truth.

      US citizens are paying to their government, who could use that to fund healthcare and tuition and relieve the costs of these for citizens instead of making tax breaks that overwhelmingly favor the rich. I'm not saying that tariffs are the correct solution, but what else would they be used for? What else could Trump have in mind for wanting them, if he hasn't figured out that labor costs are higher in the US?
