10 Christmas Movies You Should Watch This Year
Without further ado, here are some of the best Christmas movies you should watch in 2022.
Falling for Christmas
What makes this movie special? Is that Lindsay Lohan starring in it? If that’s not enough to entice you, she plays a spoiled heiress to her father’s Aspen resort business; she gets amnesia, and she falls for a local lodge keeper (Chord Overstreet). It’s a prime example of why you shouldn’t watch a holiday movie for the plot, but for the spectacle (or lack thereof).
Spirited
Yes, this is another retelling of “A Christmas Carol.” Only this time, the Ghost of Christmas Present is examining his life as a result of Scrooge. Spirited has the most famous cast of this year’s Christmas movies (apologies, Lacey Chabert), with Will Ferrell as the spectral representative of Christmas and Ryan Reynolds as the miserly human who’s supposed to be the one who’s changing. One other beautiful thing about this movie is that it is musical.
Three Wise Men and a Baby
This movie brings together three big Hallmark stars. Three Wise Men and a Baby are like Hallmark’s version of The Avengers. Andrew Walker (My Family Christmas Tree), Tyler Hynes (Unexpected Christmas), and Paul Campbell (Christmas by Starlight) play three guys who end up caring for a baby over the holidays, and yes, there will be diaper jokes. (It’s illegal not to make a stinky diaper joke in movies like these.) Peacock is currently streaming some Hallmark movies.
The Polar Express
The visuals used for this movie are outdated since technology has advanced so much since the movie was made. However, this movie was a massive deal at the time of its release. Tom Hanks played the role of a train conductor, and he did the motion capture for his own character. The movie itself is delightful to watch, and it talks about the journey of a young boy on a train to the north pole.
A Christmas Story
You could either wait for TBS’s annual 24-hour marathon of this classic on Christmas or you could just watch it whenever you want. A Christmas Story is one of our culture’s most enduring films, centred on a young boy who wishes for nothing more than to be given a BB gun.
Santa BootCamp
Melissa Joan Hart directs this film. It stars Emily Kinney from “The Walking Dead” as an event planner tasked with putting on an extravagant Christmas gala for a mall magnate. In her search for the perfect Santa, she attends a Santa Bootcamp, where she meets an instructor (the lovely Rita Moreno). This is the man who teaches her to love Christmas all over again.
Violent Night
Violent Night is a holiday-themed dark comedy starring Stranger Things’ David Harbour, Beverley D’Angelo, Cam Gigandet, and John Leguizamo. In this R-rated film, David Cross plays Santa Claus, who steps in to save the day when a wealthy family is kidnapped by a group of mercenaries.
A Holiday Spectacular
A Holiday Spectacular is set in 1958 and talks about a Philadelphia heiress who postpones her high-profile wedding plans in order to pursue her one true dream: dancing as a Rockette in Radio City Music Hall’s Christmas Spectacular.
Home Alone
I bet you must have seen this movie as a kid. And even after that, it never gets old. Home alone features comedy, family, and the Christmas spirit. This movie is about a young boy named Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin), who was left alone by his parents unknowingly. He now takes on the responsibility of protecting his home from burglars.
Die Hard
Every year, lots of articles come out on how “Die Hard” is a Christmas movie. Despite all that, nothing takes away the fact that it is an amazing movie. In this movie, Bruce Willis plays John McClane, a cop who is trying to save the lives of his wife and other hostages at a holiday party that gets taken over by German terrorists.
