It’s that time of year where you try to cram as many festive films into four weeks as humanly possible.

And even though there are new Christmas films coming out all the time, sometimes you just have to go with your favourites!

Here are our top five Movie Santas of all time…

5. Jack Skellington – The Nightmare Before Christmas

4. Tom Hanks – The Polar Express

Special Mention: Will Ferrell – Elf

Ok, ok, we KNOW he doesn’t play Santa Claus but when it comes to Christmas cheer, we think Buddy the Elf has more than all those other Santas put together! The best performance of his career.
