A company called Christmas Lights Etc. did a survey on people's favorite Christmas movies, and they broke them down into age groups.
It turns out the older folks are more into the classics, which isn't surprising, but younger adults seem to enjoy a mix of old and new.
Here's the breakdown:
Ages 60-plus:
- "Miracle on 34th Street" (1947)
