THE nation’s favourite Christmas films have just been revealed, as a new survey dug into the festive viewing habits of families across the country.
Many viewers tune into the likes of BBC, ITV, Channel 4, and Channel 5 to watch the highly-anticipated schedules.
However, it seems that many love to watch a festive-themed film as the year draws to a close.
A new survey suggested that three in 10 adults believe it is perfectly acceptable to start watching Christmas films by 25 November.
Some even watch their favourite rom-coms all year-round in their homes.
A poll of 2,000 people who celebrate Christmas found that 77 per cent of people think that festive flicks are not just for December.
Almost one in four (24 per cent) said that watching Christmas films was their favourite holiday tradition.
32 per cent of those asked admitted that it’s the ultimate way to feel festive, as well as emotions such as happiness (46 per cent) or nostalgia (45 per cent).
Home Alone, Love Actually, and A Christmas Carol all made it high up the list of the 10 best family festive movies ever made.
The research was commissioned by Disney+ as part of the launch of the new Home Alone Experience.
Fans of the beloved film franchise can now experience three rooms that were directly inspired by the infamous McCallister household.
Every nostalgic detail meticulously thought of as visitors will be transported straight back to Chicago in the 90s where the film is set.
Nearly half (46 per cent) of the poll respondents were able to quote scenes from their favourite Christmas movie verbatim.
The survey also found other festive traditions that the UK likes to embrace every year and Secret Santa gifts are at the top of the list.
According to the figures by OnePoll.com, 28 per cent of those polled said baking, whilst others said they liked making their own decorations (17 per cent).
In addition to enjoying festive film nights, 24 per cent say they love to have festive photo shoots with their friends and family.
This is as 22 per cent of people apparently treasure the chance to don matching pyjamas or jumpers for the occasion.
This trend is especially popular with younger generations, who are ditching traditional Christmas cards in favour of sharing festive snaps online.
36 per cent also say that social media photos have become their go-to for seasonal greetings among 18-34-year-olds.
The Home Alone trilogy, along with many other festive favourites, are available to stream now on Disney+.
