12 Amazing Family Movies to Give for Christmas

The Apple Dumpling Gang

If you have never heard of the hilarious Don Knotts, then may I suggest that you fix that problem quickly!

Our family absolutely loves Don Knotts!

Are you looking for a roll on the floor, clean, family movie for your children?

The Apple Dumpling Gang is the perfect movie to bring laughter into your home.

Andy Griffith

My dad introduced my kids to the Andy Griffith show years ago.

They have loved Andy ever since!

By the way, do you know Barney on the Andy Griffith Show? Guess what? That is Don Knotts!

I told you he is hilarious!

Swiss Family Robinson

When my older kids were little, we read the entire Swiss Family Robinson book. It took three whole months to complete it, and I am a super-fast reader!

With a book that long, you just can’t expect a movie to cover it all, but you can imagine our family’s surprise when the Disney version actually left out one of the Robinson family’s sons!

Still, the Swiss Family Robinson is one of our family’s top favorite movies to enjoy!

Little House on the Prairie

Yup, we have read this series over and over again, but we still adore the movie series!

Actually, Sarah has been playing the Little House on the Prairie DVDs every night lately!

Little House on the Prairie are excellent family-friendly movies!

Love Comes Softly

If you enjoy the Little House on the Prairie shows, then you will like the Love Comes Softly series too.

These are based in the same era as the Little House movies and are just clean, family viewing.

Mary Poppins

Remember watching Mary Poppins as a child? Maybe it is time to introduce her to your children.

Who doesn’t love Mary Poppins and her bag that never gets empty!

I took my children to a free community viewing of the newer movie, Mary Poppins Returns, when it first came out.

We did enjoy the show, but I noticed a lot of the younger viewers that day didn’t get a lot of the jokes because they were directly referring to the original show.

If you want to have good, clean humor for your family to enjoy, then make sure you include Mary Poppins with Julie Andrews and the ever funny, Dick Van Dyke!

Make sure your family watches the original!

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Here’s another Dick Van Dyke classic that my family has loved over the years.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is about an adventurous car that is loaded with fun and a lot of humor.

This one definitely makes our excellent family-friendly movies list.

Princess Bride

I have always told my children that they can find out if another family homeschools simply by making a reference to the Princess Bride.

If the family gets the humorous reference, then most likely, they homeschool!

(No, offense to my non-homeschooling families!)

Secondhand Lions

I am not a television-type person, but there are just some shows that I thoroughly enjoy watching with my family.

Secondhand Lions definitely makes this list!

I do admit there are a few words I wish I could bleep out, but overall, I love this movie!

Fat Albert

Do you find yourself saying the same things to your children over and over again?

I am not just talking about telling them to pick up their dirty socks and take their dirty dishes to the kitchen.

I mean during movies.

My kids just roll their eyes at me every time we watch Fat Albert and I say, Aww, I used to watch this as a cartoon when I was a child.

Yes, Mom, we know!

Snow Dogs

Snow Dogs is one of my favorites.

The kids literally hate it when I sit down to watch this with them because during every single scene I say, Oh, I love this part!

This show is certainly on my amazing family movies list!

John Wayne

Yes, we are that type of family. We love John Wayne!

I could buy a John Wayne movie every year, and my kids would be excited even if they already owned it!

We just really love John Wayne!

Is your family John Wayne lovers?

If not, please don’t tell us. We just couldn’t ha

If not, please don’t tell us. We just couldn’t handle such negativity!
