It is a sweet but funny story of a family who is getting over the loss of family members before Christmas. Stars Ben Stiller (Zoolander and Secret Life of Walter Mitty) and Linda Cardellini ( Freaks and Geeks and Scooby-Doo live-action movies), but the children really steal the show.

It’s a fun rom-com where neighbors band together to save a small-town business. Britt Robertson is from Secret Circle, Under the Dome and Rookie Feds. Chad Michael Murray is from One Tree Hill, Agent Carter and Sullivan’s Crossing. They look adorable together. Some other familiar faces Marla Sokoloff (Full House/Fuller House, The Practice and Joey Tribiani's sister in Friends) Michael Gross (Family Ties, Tremors and even a few Christmas movies) and Beth Broderick (Sabrina the teenage witch, Lost, and Christmas movies). Melanie Says - This is one of the few new Christmas movies I have actually watched this year because Em came over and wanted to watch it. This has a pretty recognizable cast (although personally the main lead actress just didn't work for me or Em - and it's only reading Jenn's blurb I realize where I know her from). The movie was OK but definitely won't get added to my rewatch list. Em thought the movie needed a PG rating for "Sexual Suggestibility" - which I don't actually think is part of the movie rating scale BUT I will say that had they slapped a PG13 label on it I think it might have done better. I personally felt that the movie was a little confused. It wanted to have the Magic Mike feel but in a Hallmark setting.

Merry Christmas Day 12 - Christmas at Plumhill Manor (2024)Jennifer Says - Nothing like getting a secret inheritance from a long-lost relative you never knew. This isn't just a sweet holiday romance but it has a touch of mystery as well. Maria Manounos is well known for her TV show hosting but has also been acting and even done some other Christmas movies. She is lovely and even has a lovelier voice. I could listen to her recite the phone book. Streaming Availability - You can find this on Lifetime - Check your local listings for availability.

Andrew W Walker is my favorite Christmas movie leading man with 15 Christmas movie credits on his resume plus tons of other Hallmark movies as well.

With such big names and special effects this could be good but big budget doesn’t always mean quality. It’s a action adventure comedy holiday feature with top Hollywood names and award winners. I am hoping this will add some fun new aspects to the lore of Santa and the North Pole. Streaming Availability -In Theaters - Check your local listings for availability Have you seen it?

Merry Christmas Day 7 - The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland (2024)Jennifer Says - This animated Christmas special has a unique animation style. This film also has musical numbers and a rhyming dialog. The cast was another thing that made this film stand out. Gerard Butler from 300 and Bounty Hunter is St. Nick. Emilia Clark from Game of Thrones and Me Before You is the Red Queen. Simone Ashley from Bridgerton and Sex Education is Alice. This may have more appeal for kids, musicals, and fans of Alice and Wonderland. The song I like the best is the 12 Crimes of Christmas. .

Merry Christmas Day 6 - An Almost Christmas Story (2024) Jennifer Says - An Almost Christmas Story may be one of the best, new Christmas films this year. This movie is a short sweet Christmas movie. I was able to watch it and It is visually stunning and made mostly from cardboard and paper with an almost monochromatic color palette. The story is all about friends and family. The cast is great. There is even handicap representation. This is great for all ages. I see awards in the future for this film. Streaming Availability - Available to watch with a Disney+ Subscription Have you seen it?

It was originally made into a film in 1983 and starred Loretta Swift and Fairuza Balk. This version stars Judy Greer from Married, Kidding, and Archer. This is a great book and the first movie was real cute, funny, and heartwarming. I anticipate this film will be just as good if not better. I recommend it for families who enjoy Home Alone or have ever been involved in a Christmas pageant or nativity play. Streaming Availability - In Theaters Now Have you seen it? What did you think?

Merry Christmas Day 4 - A Sudden Case Of Christmas (2024) Jennifer Says - This all-star cast makes for a promising Christmas movie. The fact that Danny Devito and his daughter Lucy are together should be a fun dynamic. That and a daughter trying to get her parents back together should make it a fun family watch.
