As the days get shorter and the nights get longer, and that signature breeze begins to cool everything down; there is nothing that screams Christmas time more than snuggling up to a feel-good movie or blasting your favourite holiday song on the radio. Buzzz Magazine has put together a list of some holiday favourites. A few festive songs and movies that never grow old. You know the ones that you can’t help but look forward to watching and listening to every year. The ones that bring back the happy memories from your childhood and transport you to a place of undeniable jolly and cheer.
Here are some holiday movies that you need to add to your watch list this season. These movies will not only leave you filled to the brim with holiday cheer, but they are also family friendly and have a laugh out loud comedic factor as well. Perfect for holiday movie nights with friends and family or Christmas date nights for two.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
First on the list is Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas. This movie was released in the year 2000 still makes its rounds on the TV screen every year leading up to Christmas. The comedic factor that Jim Carrey brings to role is unmatched and the visuals capture Christmas perfectly. It really brings the whole season to life.
Home Alone
Next up we have Home Alone. This timeless classic released in 1990 can be considered a Christmas movie because the events take place during Christmas time, and the storyline celebrates the importance of love and family relationships. Honourable mention goes to Home Alone 2: Lost In New York that beautifully highlights all the magic of a New York Christmas.
Elf
Elf is a movie that pokes fun at the whole concept of Santa Claus living in the north pole with his elves. When you watch wellknown comedic actor Will Ferrell take on the role as Buddy, the Elf, you will surely be left in stitches from laughing so hard. It’s a perfect ten on the feel-good movie meter.
This Christmas
This Christmas is a 2007 holiday movie that depicts an authentic, imperfect family Christmas experience. Family members that may not get along; things not going according to plan; plus all the different aspects of the holidays. A movie that has to be on a holiday list is Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer (1964). This Classic holiday film is nostalgia at its finest. From the cinematography to the music and the stories. It is the ideal family flick that can be passed down from generation to generation.

Now, moving on to songs. The holiday songs in this list are a mix of both international and local Jamaican holiday tunes. We can all agree that Mariah Carey’s entire Christmas album is holiday gold! But for the sake of the list lets narrow it down to the top two songs. ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’ and ‘Oh Holy Night’. Both songs are without a doubt Christmas anthems that will last for years to come. The moment you hear these songs on the radio you automatically know it’s about to be that time of year again!
