(#10) The Holiday Calendar
Magical, witty, and warm, 2018's The Holiday Calendar tells the story of a fledgling photographer named Abby who inherits an advent calendar. But this is no ordinary calendar: it can seemingly foretell the future. And what does it say is in store for Abby? Why, romance, of course!
Starring Kat Graham, Quincy Brown, and the always fabulous Ron Cephas Jones, The Holiday Calendar is a guaranteed mood booster.

(#7) A holiday engagement
- Book
This one was originally made for the Hallmark Channel in 2011, which might tell you all you need to know. It's a well-trod storyline used in many a movie: a recently dumped woman hires a man to play her boyfriend for an upcoming visit with her family.
But what makes A Holiday Engagement so, well, engaging is the earnest performances of the two leads, Bonnie Somerville and Jordan Bridges; the supporting performances of two stars we don't see nearly enough, Shelley Long and Haylie Duff; and a couple of wonderful, truly surprising moments in the script.

(#9) A Very Murray Christmas
Bill Murray should consider releasing Netflix specials for every major holiday. In 2015's A Very Murray Christmas, the legendary star assembles a gaggle of equally big names (George Clooney, Miley Cyrus, Amy Poehler, Michael Cera, and more) to celebrate the holidays, sing songs, and engage in casual banter.
A Very Murray Christmas doesn't have a big budget or lofty goals; it's just people having fun. And that's why it's ideal for repeated Christmas viewings.

(#6) The Star
The Star is an enchanting 2017 animated film about a lovable little donkey named Bo who happens into the Greatest Story Ever Told: the birth of baby Jesus. It features a slew of fantastic celebrity voice performances, including Kelly Clarkson, Gina Rodriguez, Keegan-Michael Key, Kristin Chenoweth, Tracy Morgan, Mariah Carey - and Oprah as Deborah the camel.
The title song, performed by Carey, is also a stunner.

(#14) Uncle Nick
Like Bad Santa, Uncle Nick is one to watch after the kids have gone to bed. Released in 2015, the hilarious and underrated Brian Posehn stars as the crude title character, who shows up to a family Christmas event that starts bad and goes downhill from there.
Paget Brewster, the great Missi Pyle, and Scott Adsit (Pete from 30 Rock) costar.

(#1) The Christmas Chronicles
The Christmas Chronicles has a lot going for it. First, it stars Kurt Russell as Santa Claus and is produced by Chris Columbus, who directed the first two Harry Potter and Home Alone films. Second, it's both funny and heartwarming. And third, it plays with traditional Christmas-movie tropes and holiday folklore in fun, irreverent ways.
The 2018 movie is about a brother and sister who crash Santa's sleigh and must work against the clock to save Christmas for the whole world.
