Which Christmas Character Movie Would You Pick To Spend A Day With?

Films at Christmas are one of the joys of the festive period. We've seen the same ones over and over, and now they're like old friends. But imagine if the characters were real friends. The UK public has voted on what they think is the ultimate movie characters to spend Christmas with. But how would you spend your day?

The survey was conducted by the Maldron Hotels in December 2018 and asked 1000 people in the UK who they would choose to spend a Christmas day with.

Imagine how a day with each one of these remarkable characters would be…

Buddy (from Elf)

Buddy the eccentric and enthusiastic human who was raised as an elf from the hit comedy 'Elf' would be a great companion for the day. Remember to steer clear of wannabe Santas, Buddy got himself in trouble with these guys before. Spend the day at a Christmas-themed karaoke with Buddy, as he says, “the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear".

Snowman (from The Snowman)

Bring all your childhood wintery fantasies to life with a day in the wonderful company of the Snowman. Obviously, hot weather is not good for our snowy friend, especially if you've seen the end of the film. So meet up on a clear crisp day. Take to the skies with the Snowman and sing your own version of Walking in the Air, and remember to hit those choir-like high notes.

The Muppets Crew (from The Muppet Christmas Carol)

Grinch (from The Grinch)

Meet him at his imposing snowy lair on Mount Crumpit, but remember he's not a big fan of visitors, especially unexpected ones. Definitely call ahead and you can always play with his loyal dog Max if he's not feeling like a morning person. Join him for a stroll of Whoville, encourage him to be a bit nicer to the townsfolk. He is capable of it, especially if he sees Martha May, he just needs time to warm up that tiny heart of his.

John McClane (from Die Hard)

Imagine how a day with the reluctant hero, John McClane, from the Christmas action classic Die Hard could finish? You could join the Detective Lieutenant on the beat as he patrols New York City. Keep away from bars and drinking, and maybe arrange to meet up with his children. He knows he needs to spend time with them and he's not the best dad. Perhaps don't plan anything and just see what happens, he seems to end up in an incredible adventure whatever he's doing.
