With the wide selection of holiday-themed movies at the video store, it is sometimes difficult to choose which ones to snatch up and which ones to leave on the shelf. Divine.ca is here to make your decision a little easier by providing some of our holiday must-sees, both classics and new favourites! Happy viewing!
1. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (1989)
 |
This third installment in the Vacation series has the accident-prone Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) attempting to give his family the perfect Christmas. That’s easier said than done when unwanted relatives stop by, the turkey is over-cooked, and Clark is nearly arrested on kidnapping charges… You’ll be glad your family gatherings have never been this disastrous! |
2. It’s a Wonderful Life (1946)
| Down-on-his-luck George Bailey (James Stewart) is ready to end his life on Christmas Eve. Enter his guardian angel, who shows him what the world would be like had he never existed. Seeing how many lives his presence and person has affected, George finds a new lease on life and returns to his family and eccentric neighbours. There’s a reason this feel-good movie is a holiday viewing-staple, showing the importance of family, community, and goodwill. |

3. The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)
 |
The Muppet Christmas Carol is an untraditional spin on the classic novel by Charles Dickens. With Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzy, Gonzo and other beloved Muppets resurrecting these beloved characters—and Michael Caine playing the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge to cranky perfection—you won’t be crying out “Bah, humbug!” this year! |
4. The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
| Jack Skellington, king of Halloween Town, believes there’s more to life than just scaring people. So he decides to abduct, and take the place of, Santa Claus and bring joy to children everywhere. His poorly-executed-yet-good-natured idea is a bust, but all is restored in the end. This Tim Burton classic acts as both a Halloween and a Christmas film, so why not break out this DVD for a second time this year? |

5. Love Actually (2003)
 |
The orphaned son, the jilted housewife, the has-been rock star… They’re just a few of the memorable, hilarious, and achingly human characters that lose, and restore their faith in, love. Coming together at a school holiday pageant, they all find that love is, indeed, all around. Perfect to view this holiday season with those you care for! |
