As Christmas Approaches,
Viewers Seek Santa
With Christmas fast approaching, the Top 20 started an early “Santa Claus Rally” of its own with How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) and The Grinch (2018) taking the top two spots. Meanwhile, Elf rose three rungs to No. 6, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation climbed four to No. 11, Polar Express gained three and Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer added his rosy light to the ranking. Spider-Man: Far From Home swung into the Top 20, propelled by anticipation for new franchise installment Spider-Man: No Way Home, which will be in theaters December 17.
