With Thanksgiving over, Christmas movies have begun filling the airwaves. In some cases, nearly as famous as the movies are the holiday houses involved. One of these homes is in Greenwich’s Riverside neighborhood.

The homes featured on these Christmas classics have left a mark on viewers and just scream Christmas.

Here are five homes from holiday classics that some lucky people actually live in:
