We thought we would check out the list of the 50 best Christmas movies of all time published by Time Out to see how many included stars from the Garden State.

And sure enough, it didn't take us long to find out that New Jersey actors starred in three of the top 12 movies on the list.

So let's show some love to the Christmas movies or the movies that came out around Christmas that feature New Jersey stars that are in the elite section of this impressive list.

The #12 movie on this illustrious list is Batman Forever, and of course, we know that the amazing Danny DeVito played the Penguin, and played it masterfully.

At #6 on the list is the legendary Christmas movie Home Alone, and no one needs to remind you that Joe Pesci stole the show. It was one of his most memorable and funny roles.

And sitting right there at the #2 spot on this incredible list is the movie that always gets the "Is it a Christmas movie or isn't it" debate, Die Hard, and my vote is yes it is a Christmas movie, and of course, New Jersey's own Bruce Willis is the star of the franchise.
