The holiday season is one people usually celebrate with their loved ones. To get into the festive spirit during this time of year, many people celebrate with traditions such as baking, buying gifts, visiting holiday events, or watching movies.
Here are some of my recommendations to cozy up this holiday season.
The Chronicles of Narnia is a magical and fantasy film series. While not exclusively a holiday classic, this enchanting adventure captures the spirit of Christmas through themes of hope, bravery, and redemption. Father Christmas, a gift-bearing figure in the series, makes the movies a memorable watch, adding a festive feel to the magical story. The film series is available on Disney+.
The Nutcracker and the Four Realms is another family fantasy film which is full of the love and happiness that Christmas brings. The movie can be accessed on Disney+.
Meet Me Next Christmas, available on Netflix, is the perfect romcom to watch with your partner. This movie is packed with heartwarming laughs, festive scenes, and shows how holiday magic can bring people together in surprising ways.
Falling for Christmas, starring Lindsay Lohan, is another movie about finding love and rediscovering the true meaning of the season after an unexpected change in life. This movie can be streamed on Netflix.
Hot Frosty is Netflix’s latest romcom. This fun story with a romantic twist features Frosty getting a modern makeover. It is a must watch for people to feel the warmth of love this season.
A fun, action-packed adventure with a modern, charismatic Santa Claus is Netflix’s family comedy The Christmas Chronicles. With Kurt Russell as a cool and charming Santa, this movie is full of humour and heartwarming moments, making it a family favourite.
Also perfect for all ages, and a classic must-watch every December, is Elf, an American Christmas family comedy about a human raised as an elf who wants to bring Christmas cheer to New York City. The movie is available on Crave, Amazon Prime Video, and Apple TV.
Some heartwarming holiday dramas for families to watch together this season include Best. Christmas. Ever!, which is available on Netflix. This heartwarming movie is about dealing with holiday challenges and making special memories. It teaches the importance of resilience and staying positive during difficult times, especially around the holiday season.
Family Switch is another family-friendly comedy that showcases the relationships and connections between loved ones during the holiday season. The movie can be streamed on Netflix.
Lastly, Christmas as Usual, available on Netflix, is a comedic exploration of family chaos and togetherness during the holidays. The movie depicts the importance of loved ones and traditions during the festive season.
These holiday movies bring joy, love, and togetherness to the holiday season, making them a great way to celebrate Christmas with family and friends.
