WE’VE OFFICIALLY ENTERED the realm of obligatory Christmas movie marathons.

Every year, the same classics put us in the festive spirit by delivering the same laughs as the year before or making us shed a tear or two (we’re looking at you, It’s a Wonderful Life).

Even though we rewatch them annually, we thought we’d put your memory to the test. How well do you remember these Christmas film quotes?
