Movies
back when we still rented dvds and fought over who got to hold the remote. these are the movies that made christmas feel like christmas.
honestly what would this list be without this movie!!!. comfort movie of all comfort movies. i don’t care how old i get, Kevin defending his house is still peak Christmas spirit lol.
Home Alone (1990)
the sequel to the first, the city, the hotel, the toy store, the lessons, it somehow feels even cozier than the first! makes me feel all bubbly
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992)
Jim Carrey carried this movie like Santa carries gifts. green, dramatic, iconic.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)
where my Barbie fans at??? this was literally every little girl’s Christmas fever dream; pink castles, sugar plum fairies, and that iconic ballet scene . this one deserves a rewatch trust me
Barbie in The Nutcracker
pure nostalgia. the animation’s weird but it works. makes you feel like a kid again for two hours.
