Each year as the holidays arrive, there is a quintessential trifecta of events that slowly set in the seasonal spirit: Holiday music, Decorating the tree, and Christmas Movies. I LOVE Holiday movies. The warmth and coziness, the loving and chaotic family dynamics, the dreamy soundtracks, the comfort of humanity and the reminders of the miracles of the human spirit when kindness is chosen above all. I wanted to put together a list of my favorites for you that are a non-negotiable for me for watching each year.
