What’s Christmas time without the perfect holiday movie to pop in the DVD player while snuggled up with hot chocolate and warm blankets? Even if I’m not feeling the holiday spirit, I can watch any of these movies and I’m instantly excited for Christmas lights and decorations and gift wrapping! The Family Stone is the most serious and realistic film of the bunch as it focuses on a dysfunctional family during the holiday season. I’m also here for any movie that includes Carrie Bradshaw, Allie Hamilton, Michael O’Neal, Mark Brandanowitz, and Zeke Braverman. Eloise at Christmastime is my favorite Christmas movie ever because I may or may not fully identify with the wild six-year-old protagonist. Eloise is the most insane and caring child (obviously like me) and I love her relationship with Bill so much! Eloise at Christmastime has romance, friendship, and a happy ending in New York City. What’s not to love about it? Home Alone 2 is the classic this-could-never-happen film that’s important to any Christmas movie guide. Macaulay Culkin is perfectly believable in an impossible situation and my favorite scene has always been his time with the bird lady. You may find that my favorite holiday movies are set in New York! Speaking of the city, Elf is a must-watch for any and all Christmas lovers. Will Ferrell, Zooey Deschanel, Tyrion Lannister, and Danny from Hawaii Five-0’s dad in real life? A real dream team. Tune in for the laughs, Buddy and Jovie’s duet in the shower, and Buddy’s candy spaghetti. Just don’t try to recreate the dish for yourself! Now pass the popcorn…
