It is officially the season to be snuggled up on the couch with a hot chocolate and your furry friend (we might mean your dog or we might mean your bestie who’s discarded her razor for tights this season, you pick). Considering you’ve watched The Holiday and Love Actually so many times you can quote them word for word, why not try some of 2021’s best Christmas blockbusters? Here are our picks of the season’s best flicks.
Father Christmas Is Back
Centring around four sisters who have reunited for the Christmas holiday in a Yorkshire mansion. Misunderstandings uncover the long-buried secret that tore their family apart, so many years ago. Stars include Elizabeth Hurley, Kelsey Grammer, and John Cleese.
A Castle for Christmas
The story follows a famed American author, Sophie, who travels to Scotland and finds herself wanting to buy a castle, but the prickly owner, a Scottish Duke named Myles, is reluctant to sell to a foreigner. Working to find a compromise, the pair constantly butt heads, but along the way they just may find more than they bargained for.
8-Bit Christmas
Jake Doyle (Neil Patrick Harris) has come home for Christmas. He tells his daughter the story of how he got a Nintendo Entertainment System on Christmas Day in 1988 and his sister got a “real” Cabbage Patch doll. Telling him that video games are bad for kids will not stop young Jake and his friends. How far will they go?
Love Hard
Hopeless romantic but eternally single LA journalist Natalie thinks things are beginning to look up when she swipes right on a dreamy guy from the East Coast, Tag. Taking a leap of faith, she jumps on a flight to surprise her crush for the holidays, only to discover that she’s been catfished by Tag’s childhood friend who is equally unlucky in love, Josh. This lighthearted romantic comedy chronicles her attempt to reel in love.
