Which Christmas and New Year's films became the highest grossing films in history (11 photos)

I propose to remember which films were able to hype up the winter holiday theme in a good way and collect the most money at the box office.





In the pre-New Year period, we are expected to be more sensitive and receptive to New Year and Christmas content. Classic holiday films are shown on TV, and snow-covered new films are released in cinemas, the authors of which are trying to lure viewers with the promise of creating the ever-flowing New Year's mood.

10th place - Exchange holiday (2006)



Box office: $205 million

A simple melodrama, the success of which was predetermined by the cast: in the frame are Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law and Jack Black.

9th place - Elf (2003)





Box office: $225 million

Not the most highly rated, but over the course of 20 years it has become a classic comedy in the West about an ordinary person who is forced to pretend to be an elf all his life.

8th place - Love Actually (2003)



Box office: $245 million

An even bigger Christmas classic, turning 20 years old. Nine romantic stories set against the backdrop of the winter holidays and a horde of British superstars.

7th place - Polar Express (2004)



Box office: $315 million

Robert Zemeckis and his animation experiments with motion capture technology. Part one.

6th place - A Christmas Story (2009)



Box office: $325 million

Robert Zemeckis and his animation experiments with motion capture technology. Part two. Also Christmas.

We don't say goodbye to Jim Carrey.

5th place - The Grinch Who Stole Christmas (2000)



Box office: $345 million

Let's not say goodbye to the Grinch!

4th place - Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992)



Box office: $358 million

We are not saying goodbye to this, probably the most famous and popular Hollywood duology about Christmas.

3rd place - Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)



Box office: $365 million

Agree, this is a rather unexpected project on the list. But he really collected significant cash.

2nd place - Home Alone (1990)



Box office: $476 million

That's why Macaulay Culkin was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. After 33 years, Home Alone is still the highest-grossing Christmas movie.

However, it is not the film that takes first place.

1st place - Grinch (2018)



Box office: $538 million

Taa-daam! The latest project in the top also managed to become the highest grossing.

Which movies on the list are you planning to watch this holiday season?
