Home Alone named UK’s favourite Christmas film, ahead of Elf and the Grinch

Kevin!

And what's the best Christmas film?

Well, on the last point, the nation has spoken (the answers to the first three are Fairytale of New York, stuffing, and a very definitive yes by the way.)

Some of the nation's other favourites were A Christmas Carol (4th, 14 per cent), The Polar Express (5th, 13.4 per cent), and Miracle on 34th Street (6th, 13.3 per cent).

Perhaps surprisingly, Love Actually found itself down in 8th, with just over 12 per cent planning on watching the 2003 film this year, and the ever-controversial Die Hard rounded out the top 10.

Watching a Christmas movie was also the most popular Christmas Eve tradition of those asked, with 37 per cent of Brits saying they watch a festive film on December 24.

Other wholesome traditions that made the top of the list were opening the last door on the advent calendar (20 per cent), hanging out stockings for presents (19 per cent) and wearing new Christmas pyjamas (18.8 per cent).
