I have a treat for those of you who like to travel during the holidays. You may not be able to travel this year (2020), but you can alleviate that feeling of being stuck inside. The following list of movies are guaranteed to satisfy your traveling bone. From the mishaps of infamous the Griswold family in National Lampoon’s Vacation (1983) to the love affairs of a traveling princess in Roman Holiday (1953), this list is will virtually take you around the world. And sometimes, there are films that can help you travel away from and to another time or other unusual aspects of travel.

When planning a travel movie fest, you could also plan a dinner with the cuisine that matches your travel location. Of course, don’t forget to get a stock of popcorn with all your favorite toppings to go with your film adventures. Another idea: Sundaes! And Floats! All of these together with nachos added to your food list makes for a comfort food and travel time to be remembered.
