According to a recent Poll conducted by Freeview, the UK's number 1 Christmas film is 'Mary Poppins'. On average, the film has been viewed 8 times by British audiences, surpassing other classics including 'The Wizard of Oz', 'The Sound of Music' and 'Strictly Come Dancing'.

'Mary Poppins' is a classic musical, produced in 1964 by Disney and stars Julie Andrews. 2000 people participated in the poll that revealed the top 5 films. Julie Andrews was definitively the most popular actress being in two of the top 5 in the Christmas favourites.
