10 Classic Christmas Movie Foods We’ve Always Wanted to Try

Christmas isn’t official until you start seeing those holiday movies popping up on Netflix. Christmas movies are the perfect blend of comfort and familiarity. They also contain some pretty mouthwatering festive treats that might not show up on your on holiday spread. Here are the top fictional Christmas movie dishes that we’ve been craving ever since we saw them.

1. Judy’s Hot Chocolate, The Santa Clause

Honestly, this sounds like a flawlessly engineered cup of hot cocoa, and we’re ready for it. Coffee is overrated anyway. After all, Jude the Elf practiced this recipe for over 1,000 years. The secret is for it to be not too hot, with extra chocolate. Oh, and it’s shaken, not stirred. Even 007 himself would approve of this ho-cho.

2. Ice Cream Sundae, Home Alone 2

Macaulay Culkin had a rough time in Home Alone when he was running from those two sketchy dudes. But most of us wish we were left alone at some point as kids, just so we could order whatever decadent food without mom’s judgment. The mac and cheese looked yummy and gooey, but nothing beats the room-service sundae that would make us throw any diet out the window.

3. Maple Syrup Breakfast Spaghetti, Elf

This scene is as upsetting as it is mesmerizing. The concept of breakfast spaghetti mixed with syrup, pop tarts and a bunch of other sugary bits sounds kind of gross, but also kind of amazing. After all, it’s just sweet noodles, right? Plenty of cultures have that! We were all curious about the flavor of this bowl when watching this flick.

4. Cheesy Egg Strata, The Family Stone

SJP plays a notoriously uptight character in this movie. The most memorable part is when she spilled that cheesy, delicious-looking egg strata on the floor. It was a scene that took place during a family meltdown, but all we really noticed was how sad it was that this strata was wasted.
