35 Funny Movie Quotes That Perfectly Describe Being Home For Christmas

Being home for the holidays is an adventure in itself. You might wake up on Christmas morning to your younger siblings leaping onto your bed, telling you it's time to open presents, or your mom whipping up bacon and eggs and simultaneously welcoming guests into your home. And there are plenty of seasonal movies that recreate that atmosphere. It's a scene that may best be described by the funny Christmas movie quotes you know and love.

It's almost like the directors of your favorite holiday films — like Elf and How the Grinch Stole Christmas — were actually in your home when they came up with the hilarious scripts. It may feel like they took notes on how your younger cousins suggest making sugary spaghetti for dinner, or how you hang out with your dog in your room when your aunts are asking you questions like, "What do you want to be when you grow up?," or "Are you dating anyone right now?"

In those moments, you’re probably tempted to respond with a famous Christmas movie quote from The Holiday or Frozen, but you may not be sure if your family members will understand the reference. Don't fret or get your tinsel in a tangle. There are a bunch of holiday movie fans who are totally catching your snow drift, and they’ll get a kick out of how accurate, funny, sentimental, and relatable these 35 Christmas movie quotes are, too.
