It’s time!!!!!!! Christmas is dabbing in. The season is here and if you stay in the Giant of Africa, you’ll know that the harmattan season that signifies the season is very much vibrant. As for those in countries that experience winter,I hear the winter season is very much alive.
You need some good movies to enjoy the coziness of the season. Whether you have got a boo or bae to enjoy this season with or it is just you and your duvet, I’ve got some interesting collections of movies. This is not the regular Home Alone list but new movies from this year and one must watch from 2020.
- Carry On(2024)
Seeing the trailer sparked my excitement for December 13. Taron Egerton from The King’s Man franchise as the main cast of this movie is an exciting factor on its own. From the trailer, it is an action gripping movie that has you on the edge of your seat.
Jason Bateman from Ozarks plays the role of an eerie agent who blackmails Taron Egerton ( TSA agent) to place a dangerous package on a plane. After discovering this plot, Taron has just ten minutes to save the life of everyone in the airport.
This is an action movie set in the Christmas season to add up to the plot.
- Red One(2024)
This is an action packed movie featuring Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans as lead actors. Red One is already Amazon MGM’s third-highest Box Office earner of all time with a whopping sum of $83 million. Collider describes it as a perfect easy option as we head into the yuletide season.
This isn’t the first J.K Simmons will be playing Santa as he perfectly suits that role. Some critics reviewed Dwayne Johnson ‘s role in the movie as The Rock doing his regular thing. However, the plot structure is relatively unique and a perfect watch for you.
- Holidate(2020)
When I first stumbled on Holidate in 2020, I discovered it wasn’t just like the regular Hallmark themed Christmas movie where a girl finds her love during the Christmas holiday.
It is a Netflix romantic comedy that will have you giggling, smiling and blushing for most part of the movie. Though this movie rates 46% on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s really a good watch for the season.
If you are looking for a romantic comedy as your Christmas watchlist, then Holidate should be on your list.
- Our Little Secret
This year, Netflix isn’t playing with their collection of new Christmas movies. Lindsay Lohan returns to Netflix for another festive holiday film, Our Little Secret, this time alongside Kristin Chenoweth. In the movie, Avery finds herself in a complicated situation when she discovers her current boyfriend’s sister is dating her ex. As Avery navigates her first Christmas with her boyfriend’s family, she must keep her secret hidden. Our Little Secret premieres on Netflix on November 27.
5.The Merry Gentlemen(2024)
This holiday season, Netflix is bringing the sizzle with The Merry Gentlemen. Yahoo Entertainment describes it as Netflix turning up the heat.
The film follows a professional dancer who returns to her hometown to save her family’s struggling performance venue. Her plan? To stage a sultry Chippendales-inspired dance show. Starring Britt Robertson and Chad Michael Murray, this steamy Christmas movie is now available to stream on Netflix.
6. That Christmas(2024)
You thought I was done with the list? Nahh, I’ve got some for the cartoon lovers and kids.What is a Christmas movie list with one or two animation movies?
That Christmas is set to be released on December 4 but it already rates 8/10 on IMDb. It is based on Richard Curtis’ trilogy books of the same title. Tudum describes it as “a series of animated holiday stories that are sure to ease you into the season of giving”.

7. An Almost Christmas Story(2024)
This Disney movie has its picture texture and quality looking like the Pinocchio movie but this is more refined with the vintage quality of the movie. An Almost Christmas Story is the third Disney+ exclusive holiday-themed short film from producer Alfonso Cuaron.
John Serba for Decider reviewed the movie, saying, from its whimsical visual design to its simple and direct story, lovingly nurtures that joyful-melancholy tone and imbues it with poignancy and heart, but without overt sentimentality.
“Moon, a curious young owl, finds herself trapped in a Christmas tree destined for Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. Trying to escape the city, Moon befriends a lost little girl named Luna. Together, they embark on an adventure.”- IMDb
