Gathering together in the holiday spirit, watching your favorite Christmas movies is a timeless tradition. Maybe it was watching Flick struggle to get his tongue off the flagpole in A Christmas Story that kept you coming back as a kid, but now you know that the real Christmas movie gold is found where the stoners are. From the most outrageous to cinematic classics, sit back and pull your bong in close because we are about to countdown the 8 greatest stoner Christmas movies!
Bad Santa
This raunchy Christmas comedy is about a con man posing as Santa so that he can rob a department store. Will this movie warm your heart? Probably not, but it will make you double over in laughter. Bad Santa is outrageous, naughty, and a portrayal of the big guy that isn’t shown often. This is the kind of mall Santa you don’t want to let your kids climb on the lap of. Pair your Bad Santa viewing with a bowl of Kosher Kush, and spend your night in hysterics.
Elf
After hitting a dab, most us become our own version of Buddy the Elf. You know, “I love smiling, smiling is my favorite.” Will Ferrell brings Christmas cheer straight to us on a platter in Elf. With enough childhood nostalgia to make you reminisce about the old days, and equal parts true Ferrell genius, no one can resist this family film. So go take a dab hit, and lose yourself under a warm blanket next to someone you love. Stoner holiday spirit is alive and well!
Why Him?
If you haven’t seen this cringe-worthy holiday flick, get ready to enter a new realm of Christmas movie. Bryan Cranston plays a worried father, and James Franco is his normal eccentric self. It would be epic to smoke with Franco in real life, but until you win that golden globe, roll up a joint of Laughing Buddah and smoke alongside. This may not be a coveted family classic anytime soon, but it’s a smoker’s dream movie. Fun fact: Franco painted Cranston a portrait of a giant pot leaf to take home after movie filming was done!
A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas
Stoner. Classic. Seriously, how much more weed friendly does it get than our old pals Harold & Kumar. This stupid funny adventure has H & K on another inappropriate, over the top, and slightly offensive mission. Who wouldn’t rather watch the dynamic duo struggle to save Christmas, instead of listening to another boring story around the family table? NPH makes a few guest appearances as well, bringing the whole film together. Compliment the craziness with Deadhead OG, because laughing your ass off should definitely be a requirement for Christmas.
Scrooged
Bill Murray is a marijuana icon, so this underrated Christmas classic deserves a mention. This adaptation of A Christmas Carol cutting and unapologetic. They deliver quality satire without turning it into the cliche Christmas humor. Murray is a biting Scrooge-like figure, but Scrooged does end on a sentimental high note, leaving you with that fuzzy holiday feeling. Roll up some Purple Elephant, and try to wipe the smile off your face.
How The Grinch Stole Christmas
The Grinch is iconic in the realm of Christmas movies. He’s sneaky, bitter, and has an affinity for the 5 finger discount. The original comeback kid, with a heart that grows 3 sizes in one day. You can’t tell me that Cindy Lou didn’t give the Grinch a cookie from her special batch. Stoned or not, this is a Christmas flick that you can watch a million times a year, and yet still miss it when it’s gone. Roll yourself a fat blunt full of Trainwreck before you get couch locked and lost in the magic of Whoville.
Nightmare Before Christmas
There is a lively debate concerning what holiday The Nightmare Before Christmas correlates with. Whether it’s Halloween or Christmas, you can’t lose with this Tim Burton masterpiece. This classic should be watched and appreciated for its cross holiday charm! The graphics are groundbreaking, the story is original, and the soundtrack is still one of the best out there. Want to enjoy the surreal characters more? Throw some Bruce Banner #3 in the bong and allow its psychedelic effects to send you swirling into the world of Halloween Town and its spooky festive patrons.
Friday After Next
The Friday trilogy is known for being crazy, hilarious, and full of fresh bud. Friday After Next is their Christmas Story. Craig and Day Day finally get their own place, only to be robbed on Christmas Eve by a fake Santa figure. Let the hijinks and the HIGHjinks ensue. This hood Christmas comedy should be enjoyed with a classic OG Kush, for the original OG’s of Cali.
