UK Poll Reveals Favourite Christmas Films

A nationwide survey by Showcase Cinemas has revealed the UK's favorite Christmas films, with classics like 'It's a Wonderful Life' and 'Love Actually' in the top 10, but 'Die Hard' surprisingly ranking high despite its debated Christmas status. This coincides with Yahoo Entertainment's exploration of unconventional holiday movies, highlighting 'Bad Santa' and even 'Iron Man 3' as unexpected festive favorites. Meanwhile, research by Slingo names Bruce Willis as the top Christmas movie heartthrob for his role in 'Die Hard,' followed by Jack Black and Hugh Grant for their roles in 'The Holiday' and 'Love Actually,' respectively. In royal news, Carole Middleton, grandmother to the Prince and Princess of Wales's children, continues her tradition of gifting Christmas Eve boxes, which has become a cherished family ritual. On a more somber note, Prince Harry's Christmases have been marked by personal tragedies and military duties, including his tours in Afghanistan and the loss of his friend in 2002, as detailed in his memoir 'Spare.'
