People Are Sharing The Movies That They Love To Watch At Christmas That Aren’t Actually X-Mas Themed, And I Know I’m Adding Some To My List
We can all agree that the festive season is the perfect time to snuggle up and stick on a movie, but not all of us can stand Christmas movie after Christmas movie.
So, here are 24 movies that we love to watch around the holidays, that aren’t strictly X-mas themed.
1. James Bond
—aoifek4c217e389
2. The Wizard of Oz
“Those people of a certain age will remember watching it every year during the holidays.”
—markh63
3. Matilda
“It embodies the feelings you want at Christmas without being at all Christmassy. It’s super feel-good, it’s magical, and it’s got the nostalgia vibes that the holidays are all about!”
–sam_cleal
4. The Princess Bride
20th Century Fox“We watch it every single Christmas!”
—maddithesenpai
“It’s just delightful.”
—randocalrissian
5. Dune
“You wouldn’t think Christmas and vast planes of scorching desert work together, but honestly, getting fully engrossed in another world is just what Christmas is about. It’s definitely one for the post-mulled wine slump where you just want to put your feet up with a really good cinematic movie.”
–casualgem30
6. The Breakfast Club
Universal Pictures“It’s heavy-handed, but it’s a film that makes you reflect on relationships, and what’s more holiday-ish than that?”
–markh63
7. The Hobbit
“Every year when it gets round to December I watch The Hobbit movies because actual holiday movies are always so stupid.”
—stargategirl21
8. Singin’ in the Rain
Loew’s, Inc.“It’s so bright and cheery so is a great pick-me-up during the winter months.”
—lele_g_13
9. Twilight
“Nothing really shouts ‘Merry Christmas’ like some moody teen vampires in Forks, Washington! I think it’s the nostalgia of reading the books as a kid that makes me want to watch the movies around Christmas, or maybe it’s just Robert Pattinson – either way, it’s become a Christmas tradition!”
–casualgem30
10. The Lord of the Rings
“My family likes to do a marathon on Christmas Day in matching Christmas jimjams.”
—bloopbloop1
11. Harry Potter
“It’s an obvious one but it has to be Harry Potter. The first two movies in particular.”
—curtsdamnemail
“Especially the first Harry Potter movie. The way the food hall was decorated for Xmas makes me green with envy.”
—ravenbard
12. Little Women
Columbia Pictures“It has to be the 1994 version. I don’t know why but it has always felt like a Christmas movie to me even as a kid!”
—clairebsaenz
13. Jurassic Park and Godzilla
Universal Pictures / Warner Bros. Pictures“Before my aunt passed away, she gave me a dinosaur bookmark and T-Rex socks as a silly add-on Christmas gift, and she would watch Jurassic Park every Christmas (I still have NO idea why). I also just love Godzilla, so they both just kind of became Christmas staples for me. Nothing says Merry Christmas like a ‘ROOOOAAR!!!!’ in my house!”
—morgan_le_slay
14. The Deer Hunter
Universal Pictures“It’s an emotionally hard movie to watch, but so well done.”
–markh63
15. The Parent Trap
“I honestly hate Christmas movies so I try to instead watch something that is a feel-good movie and invokes the nostalgia of childhood. The Parent Trap is an absolute blast and I pair that with The Princess Diaries movies for a marathon that makes me feel nice and fuzzy.”
—monikap6
16. Long Kiss Goodnight
“Honestly, if you love murders at Christmas this is the one to watch!”
—e4cd1be7f6
17. The Nice Guys
“Christmas films never really do it for me, they’re all a bit too flat to really get your teeth in. The Nice Guys finds the perfect balance between funny and engaging to make it an ideal movie to watch around the holidays!”
–bendzialdowski
18. Bridget Jones
“Watching all three movies is an absolute must during the holidays”
—aimee25
19. Metropolitan
New Line Cinema“The backdrop is Christmas but this Austinian character study of a group of young Upper East Side ‘bourgeoisie’ could take place anywhere, at any time.”
—merylsmaydl
20. Die Hard
“It’s just the perfect non-Christmas Christmas movie, there’s no competition.”
—littlemixfan17
“It’s a family tradition to watch the first one while wrapping presents.”
—mikeumd
21. American Psycho
“There’s a Christmas party. It’s set over the holidays. Red is a dominant colour in the movie. It’s Christmas-core without being about Christmas.”
—caryscherry
22. Frozen + Frozen 2
“The winter anaesthetic is Christmassy and appropriate and I just honestly love these movies.”
—ravenbard
23. Anastasia
“I’m not sure why but the song, ‘Once Upon A December’ brings back Christmas memories for me.”
—ravenbard
