During the holiday season, many households hold onto cherished rituals, and one of the most common involves gathering around to watch a beloved Christmas film. Whether it's a long-standing family custom or simply a seasonal favorite, everyone has at least one Christmas movie that stands out above the rest!
Below, we've gathered the top picks from 10 MMA fighters hailing from Alberta and B.C.:
Sean Michael: Home Alone
"It's one of those films that stays funny from start to finish. The whole setup with all the traps he lays for the burglars is brilliant. You can pop it on anytime, with anyone—even solo—and it still delivers."
Taylor Bull: The Nightmare Before Christmas
"Bad Santa is always a personal favorite, but I think everyone should ease into the season with The Nightmare Before Christmas after Halloween. It's wonderfully inventive and animated—I'm a massive cartoon fan, so claymation holds a special place in my heart."
Cleveland Bentley: Elf
"I love just how absurdly over-the-top Will Ferrell is in that movie. Pure comedy gold."
Sheldon Doll: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
"Cousin Eddie is a total legend."
Cole Campbell: How The Grinch Stole Christmas
"Jim Carrey was my favorite actor growing up, so that's what makes it my top pick—not to mention it's a true classic."
Sam Franchi: Elf
"I just find it absolutely hilarious."
Jesse Arnett: Elf
"Will Ferrell is just plain funny."
Maged Hammo: Home Alone
"It brings back memories of being Kevin McCallister's age—me wandering the city on my own. It's just a really funny film overall."
Gagan Gill: Home Alone
"I could rewatch this film every single Christmas and never tire of it."
Jamey-Lyn Horth Wessels: Elf
"I'm a big Will Ferrell fan, and Step Brothers is hands-down my favorite."
