How the Grinch Stole Christmas
This revamped version of the classic story follows the relationship between the holiday-loving town of Whoville and a recluse Grinch. When the Grinch decides he’s finally had enough of all the holiday cheer, he sets off on an adventure to stop Christmas from coming. Instead, he crosses paths with a little girl named Cindy Lou Who, who teaches him the true spirit of the season.
Christmas Inheritance
A heart-warming love story unfolds as heiress Ellen Langford is sent incognito to her father’s small hometown to deliver a traditional Christmas letter to his business partner. Make sure to grab someone you love and cuddle up for a story that will melt away all of your cynical tendencies, for a moment at least.
The Christmas Switch
Starring Vanessa Hudgens as two twins, a baker and a soon-to-be princess switch lives for Christmas. Even though it’s a Netflix original it feels like a Hallmark Christmas movie. So, it’s full of cliches and everyone gets together in the end. Sometimes that’s just want you want around Christmas time after the stress of finals.
Christmas Break-In
If you’ve ever wanted to see Home Alone set in a school, then this is the movie for you. Released in December of last year, the film focuses on 9-year-old Izzy who is left alone at school when a blizzard hits her town. After some crooks take shelter there and end up taking the janitor hostage, Izzy must come to his aid.
Klaus
This delightful animated Christmas movie follows a spoiled postmaster to his new station in a distant, unpleasant outpost, where he meets a certain woodsman with a fluffy white beard and a penchant for making toys. As a new retelling of the story of Santa Claus, this film is creative and interesting, with enough touching moments and heart-warming scenes to make any grinch smile.
White Christmas
If you don’t watch this movie at the holidays, then you’re missing out. Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, Danny Kaye, and Vera Ellen and the most insanely elaborate dance costumes ever will charm you right back to the 1940s. Just watch it. And they sing an entire song about snow that will make even the most anti-snow and winter person feel as if they might be OK with the stuff.
