With Thanksgiving just gone, and Christmas not too far away, the time to sit down, enjoy the festive break and spend time with loved ones will be on everyone’s mind. But there will come a time in the holiday season when you will want to sit down and just watch a good old family Christmas movie. Christmas movies have a few things in common. There is snow, there are arguments and there are beautifully decorated homes that we all wish we could own!

So, here are our, 5 Best Houses from Christmas Movies, enjoy!

1) The McAllister’s – Home Alone
They left their child whilst they went on holiday to Paris. The first question that springs to mind is, what did the dad for a living. (Apparently, he was a successful businessman) But this beautiful home, the exterior shots filmed in Chicago, is quite a delight. Floor plans on the internet point to it having, 3 floors, 4 bedrooms, 2 en-suites, 5 bathrooms, a spacious lounge and downstairs area and a basement.

2) Susan’s House – Miracle on 34th Street
The 1994 remake of Miracle on 34th Street introduced a new generation of children to the beautiful story of Father Christmas and hope; played by Sir Richard Attenborough this film is the spirit of Christmas in one showing. But what about the house that Susan gets at the end? Located in Lake Forest, Illinois, it has a beautiful mahogany study, gorgeous living and dining room, 6 or 7 bedrooms (we have no confirmation), a pool, a pool house with lodgings, and is surrounded by glorious countryside.

3) The Bailey’s – It’s a Wonderful Life
George and Mary Bailey are the All American couple trying to get through life, one room at a time! They had to put their honeymoon on hold, and they end up in this drafty old house which they then renovate for their future family. Aside from having to keep the evil business tycoon, Mr Potter away, George Bailey is trying to do the best he can, and on this house, George, we applaud you!

4) The Griswolds – National Lampoon’s Family Vacation
When it comes to vacations, the Griswolds were the family of a generation that grew to love films and, Chevy Chase. But the lighting that was used on this beautiful home could have powered villages across the country. The set which also featured in the TV show, Bewitched, has also featured in other hit movies such as Moonlight, Pleasantville, Small Soldiers and American Beauty.

5) The Stone Family – The Family Stone
A tale of bringing the family together for Christmas mixed with unresolved issues, a new girlfriend and trying to make everyone seem normal; if you’re nodding your head, so are we!
