This list charts the largest opens for Christmas films worldwide. Since Christmas films do not open on Fridays in many markets, the 'opening' is taken to be the gross between the first day of release and the first Sunday. Figures are given in United States dollars (USD).
- Dr. Seuss' The Grinch (2018) $526.7 million worldwide, $271.3 million domestic. The eponymous antagonist of Christmas earned yet another film adaptation detailing his story, and with Illumination Entertainment masterminding the production, it was clear that commercial success of massive proportions was in the works.
- Home Alone (1990) $476.6 million worldwide, $285.7 million domestic. The most iconic of Christmas comedies packed a serious box-office punch, and while it's hard to pinpoint why this film became such a commercial success, the story of Kevin (played by the great Macauley Culkin in what is still his most famous role) defending his territory from his archnemeses, the bumbling Wet Bandits, is still hilarious and quite possibly timeless.
- Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992) $358.9 million worldwide, $173.5 million domestic. The first Home Alone movie was such a success that a sequel was imminent.
- Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (2000) $345.8 million worldwide, $260.7 million domestic. Jim Carrey plays a sulking and reclusive but sympathetic villain in A Christmas Carol, but that description also fits the character he plays here.
