Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies blog. Today, we’re popping my favorite film adaptations of A Christmas Carol into the ol’ VCR. 

We all know the story behind A Christmas Carol. 

A rich a-hole gets visited by ghosts that essentially say, “Bro, stop,” and he awakes on Christmas morning as a new man. 

P.S. Ghosts, if you’re looking for some new blood, I can definitely give you names of some peeps who need to be haunted 👀

I digress. 

Dickens was paid by the word, and no offense to those who prefer the novel, but I think it’s a rare exception where the film adaptations help keep Dickens in check. 

There are countless adaptations of A Christmas Carol, from traditional adaptations to modern interpretations, making it hard to choose which ones you should watch. 

That’s where I come in. 

I’ve seen more than my fair share of adaptations over the years, including a fabulous one from last year, and I definitely have opinions. I’ll be the first to admit that some of these aren’t cinematic gold, but they’re fun, and movies don’t always need a deeper meaning. 

Now that you’re in the spirit, here are my top five adaptations of A Christmas Carol: 

• Spirited 
• Scrooge (1970) 
• Christmas Cupid 
• A Carol Christmas 
• The Muppet Christmas Carol
