BRITS watch more than 28 hours of Christmas films and TV shows in December \u2013 nearly an hour every day.<\/p>\n

A poll of 2,000 adults said they sit down and binge three and a half hours of festive films a week, and 14 hours of telly across the month as they gear up for the big day.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

Elf and Love Actually were among those topping the list of fan favourites \u2013 with viewers saying that watching the flicks gets them in a jolly mood, and 70 per cent went as far as to say it \u2018makes Christmas\u2019.<\/p>\n

Home Alone helped round off the top three.<\/p>\n

While Only Fools and Horses, The Vicar of Dibley and The Snowman were the most-watched TV specials in December.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Sky, which commissioned the research, said: \u201cBrits love to kick off Christmas with their favourite festive films and TV \u2013 and this year is no different.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no doubt the genre is as popular as ever and it really helps to get people in the mood.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith more content than ever to choose from, and with so many hours spent watching a variety of TV shows and films, having a big range of choice is so important to viewers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The study also revealed the nation\u2019s favourite, and least favourite, Santa of all-time.<\/p>\n

Richard Attenborough\u2019s portrayal of the big man in \u2018Miracle on 34th Street\u2019 reigned supreme as the best.<\/p>\n

However, Hulk Hogan\u2019s 1996 flop \u2018Santa with Muscles\u2019 was said to be the biggest stinker when it comes to a Father Christmas on screen.<\/p>\n

Billy Bob Thornton\u2019s turn as Willie T. Stokes in Bad Santa and Jim Carrey\u2019s The Grinch were the next<\/span> most-disliked festive portrayals.<\/p>\n

Researchers via OnePoll found 53 per cent are bored of watching \u2018repeats\u2019 at Christmas, with 40 per cent needing some inspiration on what new festive content to watch this year.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson from Sky, which allows you to order Sky Stream for next-day delivery ahead of Christmas and has more than 1,000 films available through Sky Cinema, and 12,000 hours of entertainment telly, added: \u201cThe research has shown while there\u2019s a real love for the old classics when it comes to repeated TV shows and films, there\u2019s also a desire to freshen it up.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has never been easier to do so with the emergence of content you can stream, which allows the viewer to try something new as well as soak up the old classics.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no need to be simply stuck with repeats in the schedule any longer, you can now watch what you want, whenever you want.\u201d<\/p>\n
