I have a deep fondness for holiday movies and can effortlessly indulge in them all year long! There are endless mentions, ranging from enduring classics like Miracle on 34th Street to newer releases like Last , which I’m excited to experience. Here’s an overview of holiday films from the previous ten years.

A Christmas Carol

The irritable Scrooge receives visits from the spirits of Christmas past, present, and future, with the intention of ridding him of his hatred towards companionship, love, and all things festive. In their quest, the ghosts take him on a journey through time, unveiling the truths he hasn’t yet confronted and the consequences if he denies them. In the end, it’s up to Scrooge to see the emptiness in his life and unlock his heart before time runs out.

Nativity!

Disorganized and often unsuccessful grade-school teacher Mr. Maddens works at a school that competes annually with a nearby elite school for the best Christmas nativity play. Exhausted from always finishing second to his rival Gordon Shakespeare, Maddens concocts a story about his former girlfriend, a Hollywood producer named Jennifer, claiming she’s coming to see his play with an interest in adapting it into a movie. He conveniently omits that they haven’t been in contact for years. With the expectations of parents and students skyrocketing, can he turn his web of lies into reality in time to deliver everyone’s holiday dreams?

Arthur Christmas

How does Santa manage to distribute billions of presents globally in a single night? With the help of a million highly-trained Field Elves and a massive, high-tech command center beneath the North Pole’s ice cap! But even such an amazing operation can miss one child?! To Santa’s young son, Arthur, this threatens to ruin the magic of Christmas. Joined by retired Grandsanta, a daring young elf, an old sleigh, and some untrained reindeer, Arthur sets off on a wild quest to deliver the last present!

The Night Before

Ethan, Isaac, and Chris have been friends since childhood, and for ten years, their Christmas Eve gatherings have been a night of crazy antics and laughter. As they transition into adulthood, the tradition is drawing to a close, so they aim to make it unforgettable by finding the Nutcracka Ball – the ultimate holiday party.

Office Christmas Party

In Office Christmas Party, when the CEO plans to shut down her wildly partying brother’s branch, he and his Chief Technical Officer must rally their team and host an epic office holiday bash to impress a potential client and secure a deal that could save their jobs.

A Bad Moms Christmas

A Bad Moms Christmas tracks the journey of three unrecognized and overburdened moms as they defy the demands and expectations of the festive season in hopes of creating a more ideal holiday for their families. And if that wasn’t challenging enough, they also have to host their ultimate holiday adversaries: their own mothers. By the end of the journey, the moms redefine holiday traditions for their families, forging deeper connections with their own mothers.

The Nutcracker and the Four Realms

Clara’s only wish is a special key – one that opens a box containing a priceless gift from her late mother. A golden thread, handed to her at godfather Drosselmeyer’s annual holiday gala, guides her to the coveted key – which promptly disappears into a queer and mystical parallel world. In this realm, Clara encounters a soldier named Phillip, a group of mice, and the regents of three Realms: Land of Snowflakes, Land of Flowers, and Land of Sweets. Clara and Phillip must brave the ominous Fourth Realm, governed by the formidable Mother Ginger, to retrieve Clara’s key and restore harmony to the unstable world.

The Grinch

Illumination and Universal Pictures present The Grinch, a rendition inspired by Dr. Seuss’ cherished classic. The Grinch narrates the story of a grumpy character who sets out to steal Christmas, only to have his heart transformed by the generosity of a young girl. Funny, moving, and visually stunning, The Grinch promises amusement for the whole family!
