Stoners absolutely love Christmas (or at least they should), and there are multiple reasons why: It's a national holiday so there's typically no work or school for a day or two. There's yummy food for Christmas dinner, as well as giving and receiving presents and spending time with loved ones. Last, but certainly not least, watching Christmas movies while simultaneously getting extremely baked is usually also a part of the wonderful holiday traditions. If you're a cannabis connoisseur looking for some of the best holiday movies that will be sure to have you hootin' and hollerin' for your next smoke session, we've got a list for you. Also, we included the best weed strains to be smoked with each movie- because what pairs better with a good movie than good weed?
