Holiday Movies Help the Holiday Spirit!

Delilah Travers, Writer

Holiday movies are the best way to get into the Christmas spirit, but what holiday movie is right for you? There are just so many of them out there.  It’s why certain stations can run a Christmas special every day for an entire month, sometimes longer!  Feeling overwhelmed?  Don’t.  Let’s go over what a few different movies have to offer.

I find that Elf is great for the comedy lover, with nothing but smiles radiating off the main character- Buddy the Elf.  The physical comedy is there!  Watching how Buddy interacts with other characters will make you laugh out loud.

If musicals are more your thing, you’re in luck! Movies like Spirited and 1970s’ Scrooge are sure to get you in the holiday spirit!  Don’t be surprised if you find yourself singing along!

Good Morning America

Fans of animation, The Polar Express is definitely the way to go.  You’ll be amazed at the lifelike details given to each character.  And c’mon, Tom Hanks in anything is amazing.

One of my personal favorites would be either The Grinch or Home Alone because personally I am a fan of the classics.

So whether you like classics such as Frosty the Snowman or Hallmark Christmas movies like The Noel Diary, it’s never too late to get in the Christmas spirit with a hot cup of cocoa and a jolly Christmas movie.
