2014 Holiday TV Countdown to Christmas

One of our favorite things to do over the holidays is to snuggle up and watch the old Christmas movies. So, grab your remote and start scheduling your DVR for the holiday movie countdown. From classics to soon to be favorites, there is something for everyone on the list.

We are planning several Family Movie Nights each week with our White Chocolate Popcorn and Mock Margaritas.

If you are looking to stock up your holiday collection of DVD movies, this is the time. I have linked to each movie if possible. Most are available at awesome prices right now through Amazon.
