Watching Christmas movies during the month of December is such a staple in the lead up to the holidays, it's pretty much second nature. What we mean is that when we're at home on a cold and blustery December evening, maybe wrapping up our presents or even doing some last minute holiday shopping online, more likely than not, there's a Christmas movie playing in the background.
There are certainly specific characters from our favorite Christmas movies that stand out in our minds as well. Of course, there's Kevin McCallister, the brainy and ever adaptable youngster from Home Alone. There's also the Grinch, who doesn't love Christmas or Whoville very much, but does have a warm place in his heart for his beloved dog. There's also Buddy the Elf who lives for anything Christmas related and has the ultimate sweet tooth. And there's everyone's favorite dad, Clark Griswold who's patience is tested at every turn throughout the holidays. And let's not forget about little Ralphie from A Christmas Story who is full of mischief and has a total one track mind when it comes to what he hopes will be under his Christmas tree.
So, please — take the 2-minute holiday movie quiz to get a Christmas character twin!
