A new poll by More in Common has unearthed Britons’ favourite Christmas films, breaking down the results by party voting intention.
It reveals some surprising facts about voters’ festive favourites, and what sort of movies appeal to which political ideology.
Die Hard is the most politically representative film among voters, with Tory, Labour, LibDem, Reform and Green voters all saying it is their favourite at a similar level to the current polls.
By contrast, Love Actually steals the crown for “most Tory Christmas film”, with a 12 point lead over Labour.
35% of Tory voters say it is their favourite, compared to 23% of Labour voters.

Given Rachel Reeves’ Budget and cuts to Winter Fuel, it is unsurprising that Labour voters’ favourite film is ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas’, with a 15-point lead over Reform UK voters.
For Reform, who are riding high in the polls and securing a number of high-profile defections, It’s a Wonderful Life proves popular.
However the niche 1988 film Scrooged, starring Bill Murray, takes the top spot.
The LibDems, meanwhile, are clear Muppet lovers, placing The Muppet Christmas Carol as their best holiday flick.
According to More in Commons’ poll, Home Alone is the most popular Christmas film in Britain, at 35%, followed by Elf (21%) and Love Actually (18%).
The Snowman comes in fourth, at 17%, though has a disproportionate level of Conservative and LibDems support.

When it comes to Christmas songs, Fairytale of New York takes the top spot with 30%, though the annual rows about its non politically correct lyrics does not win over a disproportionate level of Reform UK support.
Last Christmas is Britons’ second favourite, with 25%, followed by Maria Carey’s All I Want for Christmas Is You.
The , keen to talk about multiculturalism under Kemi Badenoch’s leadership, are big fans of Bing Crosby’s White Christmas, with a 16 point lead over other parties.
Labour voters love Santa Claus is Coming to Town, while the Snowman’s Walking in the Air is the Reform UK tune of choice.
In a controversial finding on a divisive debate, More in Common finds a majority of Britons do not think that Die Hard is a Christmas film.
