Movies are as much a part of our holiday traditions as opening presents and listening to Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" on repeat for an entire month. Each year we settle in to watch watch Elf, It's a Wonderful Life, and Love Actually, because no matter how many times we see them, they still put us in a Christmas state of mind. Pinpointing the best holiday scenes in movies is tricky — deep down, we love every moment of festive goodness that the movies have to offer — but there's no denying the power of watching Scrooge hoist Tiny Tim in the air or the sheer joy that is Will Ferrell declaring that Santa sits on a "throne of lies."
From the moments that make us laugh to the ones that touch our hearts, we believe these are the best holiday scenes that movies have to offer.
