One of my all-time favorite animated films, and the friendship between Hiccup and Toothless is so heartwarming and cozy. I can’t help but watch it around Christmas.
How to Train Your Dragon (2010)
This animated movie is one of my all-time favorites. I love it so much. The nostalgia, the songs, the snow—it’s just so cozy and beautiful.
