Movies to watch this Christmas!

I LOVE Christmas! I mean absolutely love it and I get so excited when I can start watching Christmas movies. Especially while decorating the Christmas tree, wrapping presents, and drinking hot chocolate. So this is going to be a blog post of Christmas movies I have watched this year that are worth mentioning. I'll also write a little description about them just in case you haven't seen them yet. Get ready to cuddle up and join in on the Christmas spirit! This is the 25 days of Christmas movies Meagan style! I added some new ones, some I haven't watched before but want too and of course kept the classic old ones :).


So I first started off with Netflix and all the Christmas movies they have on there. The ones that made it on this blog post were worth mentioning. I did find movies that I found myself saying they were too cheesy! I love Christmas movies that have a point to them and they aren't just your normal romance cheese fest. Don't get me wrong I love romantic Christmas movies, but not the ones that contain horrible acting, and unbelievable romance. Okay well a little bit of cheesiness didn't hurt anyone. 

I knew I wanted to watch this Christmas Movie the minute Netflix released the trailer for it. I liked the movie because it actually had a story line to it and not just all about cheesy romance. Yes it does contain romance and you can predict what is going to happen, but its actually bearable to watch. So watch the trailer below and see if this is a Christmas movie you could watch.  Personally I give it 4/5 stars, which is pretty good if you ask me.

 

A Christmas Prince is about a reporter Amber who is sent to Aldovia to get juicy details on the new so called playboy Prince Richard who is soon to be crowned king. She ends up being confused as Princess Emily's tutor and ends finding out the truth about the prince and who he really is. 

Now this movie I came across on Netflix as well, but I guess it's a hallmark movie. Anyways its really good and yes it has the romance, but it also has a meaningful plot as well. I don't know about you, but hallmark makes really good Christmas movies. Even some that make you cry because of the story line. 4/5 stars is what I give it.

Christmas in the Smokies is about Shelby who works on her family's berry farm, but complications put the berry farm in foreclosure. She does everything to help keep the farm from going under, even working together with her ex Mason who has become a country music star.

This Christmas movie proves that things stay in the past for a reason, and sometimes when you get a chance to change that you realize why it was in the past in the first place. You can watch Back to Christmas on Netflix. 3.5/5 stars.

Back to Christmas is about Ali who is given a second chance to change how things ended with her ex, but she soon realizes that is not what she needed.

This movie kind of reminds me of serendipity. Overall wonderful movie with well known actors/actresses.  4.5/5 stars in my personal opinion. You can find it on the Hallmark channel.

Picking up and dropping off is about a Divorced weatherman Will Chaney (Scott Wolf) and single mom Jane West (Amanda Detmer) meet at JFK Airport as they send their kids off for the holidays, and as they keep bumping into each other sparks begin to fly.

The movie NorthPole is perfect to watch with children or even without ;). I liked this movie because it was all about Christmas spirit and trying to show people that their spirit is still inside them regardless of their age. 4/5 stars. You can find it on the Hallmark channel.

Northpole, the magical home to Santa and Mrs. Claus, has grown into a huge city powered by the magic of holiday happiness around the world. Yet as people everywhere get too busy to enjoy festive time together, the city is in trouble. Who can help save the cherished traditions of Christmas? One young boy, Kevin, might have a chance if he can convince his protective mom, Chelsea, to rediscover the magic of the season. With a little added help from Kevin's charming teacher Ryan, a mysterious elf-like girl Clementine (Madison) and a gospel singer named Josephine, Kevin is determined to bring his mom in on the fun and prove that one small voice can change the hearts of many.

I really like this movie because I feel it has a different spin on the usual groundhog day movie. I watch this ever year and I love it even more every time. It really makes you stop and think what you would do if you were in that situation and what day you'd like to experience over and over again until you get it right. 5/5 stars. You can find it on Netflix.

12 Dates of Christmas, A story that follows Kate, a young woman who after a horrible blind date on Christmas Eve, wakes up to find she is re-living that same day and date all over again.

I really liked this one, I thought it was just a cute Christmas movie. Obviously when the movie started I already knew who she was going to be with, well at least I hoped she would be. I also liked how Pepper ends up really showing who he is instead of this bad ass mean guy he acts like. 5/5 stars. Found it on Netflix!
