This Is Christmas (2022): This British movie (streaming on Prime in the U.S.) is SO charming! It has trains, inter-generational friendships, community care, and more! It’s also the only movie I’m in the top 10 letterboxd reviews for (lol) so it warms my heart again every year when the “like” notifications start to come in and I know holiday movie season has begun.

Clara · Answer

Happiest Season (2020): Don’t normally love holiday movies but this one is amazing. Although the main love interest leaves something to be desired (but maybe that’s an artistic choice?), the supporting cast and Kristen Stewart are all fire.

Maryn · Answer

Jingle Bell Heist: Okay I can't say this one is my favorite, but every year I watch all the new holiday rom coms and this one is surprisingly good! Fun to see Connor Swindells in a starring role after Sex Education.

Dash & Lily: it’s FINALLY Dash & Lily season!!! It’s an eight episode y/a adaptation (that you can easily binge in a day or two) set in NYC at Christmas time starring one of the white boys of the year, Austin Abrams, and The Sex Lives of College Girls’ Midori Francis who I have been a big fan of ever since the play The Wolves. They’re both so great in this! The entire cast is great and includes a lot of local theatre actors which we love!!!

Basic premise is: Dash hates Christmas. Lily loves Christmas. They’re both stuck in the city for the holidays and end up trading messages via a notebook scavenger hunt. It’s such a warm, cute show and a genuinely lovely depiction of the city at this time of year. I’ve watched it yearly since it came out ❤️
