Here’s our compilation of top-tier flicks to enjoy while celebrating Christmas in July. A bit off the beaten path, every one of these films has a unique charm that makes it ideal for the summertime celebration. Feel free to indulge in Christmas Movies any time of the year, but these are particularly fitting for July, and you’ll soon understand why.
Let’s commence with the most obvious choice:
Rudolph and Frosty’s Christmas in July
This is the actual continuation to both the original Rudolph and Frosty films, and it’s the sole instance you’ll see Frosty in a stop-motion feature – most devoted Rankin & Bass enthusiasts deem this the weakest in the iconic series. How about you decide for yourself?

The Die Hard Trilogy
That’s right, all three. (Let’s all imagine there are only three, okay). Watching The Die Hard trilogy makes for the ideal Christmas in July movie marathon – since the first two are set during Christmas time and the third occurs in the summer (likely July, don’t you think?).

Holiday Inn
