12 Days of 3D Christmas / Holiday Movies

By: Jake Jarvis

Christmas and the Holiday season is upon us. What 3D Movies are great to watch during this time ? We made this list for this special occasion.


12. SAVING SANTA (2013)

This is a British animated holiday movie starring Martin Freeman, Joan Collins, Tim Curry, Tom Baker and Tim Conway. Time travel is used to save Santa and Christmas. 

11. A VERY HAROLD AND KUMAR 3D CHRISTMAS (2011)

Pot smoke looks great in 3D! This is another fun romp with Harold (John Cho) and Kumar (Kal Penn), America’s favorite stoners since Cheech and Chong. This film has plenty of childish adult humor with non-stop laughs.  

10. ICE AGE: A MAMMOTH CHRISTMAS (2011)

Ice Age has a Christmas TV special that was given a 3D Blu-ray release. Starring Ray Ramono, John Leguizamo, Queen Latifah and T.J. Miller. Sid, Edddie, Crash and Sid are on Santa’s naughty list. 

9. THE SNOW QUEEN (2012)

This is a russian animated 3D movie based on the Hans Christian Anderson story of the same name that inspired FROZEN. This particular version has turned into a franchise with three additional 3D movies.

8. MARCH OF THE WOODEN SOLDIERS a.k.a. BABES IN TOYLAND (1934)

A holiday staple starring Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy has been restored, colorized and converted into 3D. The results are quite nice. Loosely based on the 1903 operetta by Victor Herbert. Laurel and Hardy play two Toymakers, who are fired for screwing up Santa's Christmas order, and hijinks ensue.

7. POLAR EXPRESS (2004)

This movie has some of the creepiest motion capture footage ever released to the silver screen. Otherwise this is a great Christmas / holiday movie. Directed by Robert Zeneckis and starring Tom Hanks. The movie about a young boy who embarks on a Christmas eve trip aboard the Polar Express to discover if Santa Claus is real or not.

6. THE GRINCH (2018)

Benedict Cumberbatch voices The Grinch in this 3D animated full length feature remake of Dr. Suess' classic. This is not as good as the original Chuck Jones' animated tv special with Boris Karloff and Thurls Ravencroft, but a lot better than the Ron Howard directed Jim Carrey version. To read my full review of this movie go here. 

5. IRON MAN 3 (2013)

This is another Shane Black movie set during Christmas. Tony Stark vs The Mandarin and nothing is quite as it seems. Many people are not fans of this movie but I am. 

4. ARTHUR CHRISTMAS (2011)

This is an Aardman animation (Wallace and Gromit) British animated film. Arthur Claus has less than two hours to deliver a lost Christmas present to young girl.  What a charming little movie !

3. SHAZAM! (2019)

A Christmas time movie set in the DCEU. Teenager Billy Batson learns the magic word and transforms into an adult super-hero. This movie has some spooky scenes but is tons of fun. Starring Zachary Levi, Mark Strong, Asher Angel and Jack Dylan Grazer. My review for this movie can be found here.

2. RISE OF THE GUARDIANS (2012)

An animated version of William Joyce's Guardians of Childhood books. This is essentially a holiday character animated avengers movie. Stars the voices of; Hugh Jackman, Alec Baldwin, Chris Pine, Jude Law, and more. The Boogeyman makes the children stop believing in Santa, the Guardians must correct this injustice. 

Honorable Mention: A Christmas Carol (2009)

This holiday movie was selected by Mr.Bungle5 . Mr.Bungle5 Is one of our patrons off Patreon. The classic Charles Dickens tale is reinvented in this animated with motion captured movie.

1. THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS (1993)

This is an incredible stop motion animated film directed by Henry Selick and produced by Tim Burton. Stars the voices of; Danny Elfman, Chris Sarandon, Catherine O'Hara and Paul Reubens. Lovingly converted to 3D and re-released in 2006, this is a great story with great music.

Volcanoes explores the contributions that some of the world’s most spectacular volcanoes have made to some of Earth’s greatest ecosystems, and how they continue to influence them today.
