Christmas movie homes: the good, the bad and the ugly

Everyone loves a Christmas movie, if only for a peek into the lives of other homes - by Diana Moore

Christmas movie homes: the good, the bad and the ugly

There’s no better way to get in the mood as we progress through festive season than to sit down with a good old-fashioned Christmas movie.

Not least because it gives us a chance for a little house voyeurism! We love seeing how others decorate their homes for Christmas and draw inspiration from festive feasts, table settings, gift wrapping and tree decorations.

We’ve jumped in our virtual sleigh and collected together a round up of some of our favourite homes from Christmas movies, but you be the judge - which is your favourite?
