The Best Christmas Movies to Watch in 2021

Welcome to the topic The Best Christmas Movies to Watch in 2021.

Part of what makes the holiday season so special every year is the feeling of snuggling up with family in a blanket or next to a fireplace with a nice, hot cup of coffee and watching a Christmas movie just like we’ve done since we were kids. However, sometimes it can be a bit difficult to find something new to watch for the occasion, as we’ve all seen the Home Alone series about ten times every Christmas already.

A Boy Called Christmas

This movie is a heartwarming story about a boy that adventures out into the snow-covered North while searching for his father who has set out on a quest to find the mythical village of elves. Accompanied by his reindeer Blitzen and a joyful companion in the form of Miika, his pet mouse, Nikolas faces several challenges that he must overcome throughout his journey to meet his destiny. This movie is sure to be a delightful watch with the family, especially with your kids.

Love Hard

Love Hard features Nina Dobrev as the main character, a girl who finds the love of her life on a dating app and decides to fly over to the East Coast from L.A. to surprise him. However, it turns out that she’s been catfished and that the actual holiday surprise was the one waiting for her when she saw him. In a fun and comedic way, this movie shows a new perspective on love with the classic holiday flavor.

A Castle For Christmas

A feel-good entry where the author of a bestselling book decides to journey to Scotland. Here, she sees a castle on which the movie is based, and she falls in love with it, hoping to acquire it however she can. However, she is faced with the challenge of dealing with its owner, the grumpy duke who is strapped for cash and is not so eager to hand over the keys.

Robin Robin

Sometimes we don’t have the time nor energy after a long day of prepping and hosting a Christmas party; perhaps you want to watch something short and sweet that is still guaranteed to offer you a good time in these blessed holidays. Robin Robin is a unique stop-motion treat for Christmas from the creators of Chicken Run, one of the best stop-motion animated movies of all time. It features a tiny robin that makes a wish on Christmas, in the process of learning about herself and whether she can fly.

The Princess Switch 3: Romancing The Star

A Vanessa Hudgens special, this movie features the iconic movie star playing three different roles in the 3rd installment of the Princess Switch Christmas series. This time, a princess relic appears to have been stolen, which leads the duo of Fiona and a mysterious, charming man from her past to set about retrieving it. In the process, they rediscover the spark of romance and love that they felt they always had, leading to an exciting and wholesome Christmas romance story that is bound to make you feel good at the end of it.

The best family movies to watch with your kids on Christmas

The best family movies to watch with your kids on Christmas

With the holidays just around the corner, it’s about time that you and your family settle in with a mug of hot chocolate and spend cozy evenings together binging some of the very best Christmas movies. Here are five family movies that you definitely need to add to your watch list for Christmas day.

The Grinch (2018)

Your favorite spoilsport is back yet again in this animated movie, plotting and scheming to dampen your festive spirit against all odds. Grammy-winning artist, Pharrell Williams, narrates the newest version of this all-time classic while Benedict Cumberbatch truly encompasses the Grinch’s grumpy character with his voice acting. From its flawless animation to its catchy songs, this film will take you on an entertaining and fun-filled journey that both you and your kids are bound to enjoy.

Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey (2020)

Now here’s a musical that is bound to awaken your Christmas spirit! Jingle Jangle is a heart-warming tale about Jeronicus, a toymaker left devastated after his apprentice cheats him by stealing his latest invention. Jeronicus loses all his drive to work on his craft until a fateful visit by his granddaughter rekindles his creative spirit. The fresh storyline and acting leave nothing to be desired.

Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town (1970)

Old but gold—our next recommendation is one that you or your parents probably might have seen in your childhood, and it’s definitely one that you need to watch with your kids this year. With the charismatic voices of Fred Astaire, Mickey Rooney, and more, we learn the origin story of Santa Claus and how he came to become the jolly old man we all know him as. No matter how many times you watch this movie, it never really gets old!

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)

This animated stop motion special focuses on the story of Rudolph, an adorable fawn with a glowing red nose who can’t fit in with the other reindeers no matter how hard he tries. We follow his journey over the years as he meets new friends and learns valuable lessons. This movie is perfect for teaching your kids about both acceptance and the festive, loving Christmas spirit.

Klaus (2019)

Our final recommendation is Netflix’s first animated movie, Klaus. This is yet another movie with fantastic animated visuals and voice acting that centers on a degenerate postman named Jesper and an unsociable toymaker named Klaus. After their initial meeting, the two strike up an unlikely friendship and partner up to secretly deliver Klaus’s toys to the children in the town. This film is an excellent option for all those kids who leap out of bed on Christmas morning in excitement to unwrap Santa’s thoughtful gifts.

And that’s all of our recommendations for the day! No matter which movie you choose to watch on this special day, make sure that you have your spouse and your kids close to you wearing those warm Christmas sweaters. May you have a merry Christmas evening watching these classic movies!

WHAT I GOT MY KIDS FOR EASTER- EASTER BASKET IDEAS

WHAT I GOT MY KIDS FOR EASTER- EASTER BASKET IDEAS

Easter is finally almost here! One of my favorite time of year. It is a time to reflect and celebrate with family and friends all while watching the little ones hunt for Easter eggs in the backyard.

I will be honest with you, I’ve always just done treats for the kiddos. It wasn’t until last year that I started to fill their baskets up with things that they use rather than just junk. I love doing gift guides and sharing my ideas with other mamas. I finally was able to film the video for YouTube yesterday for what I got my kids for Easter. Check it out below.

 

 

Here are also the links to some of the things that I got for the kids. Keep in mind, some of these are from my local stores so I wouldn’t be able to link those. Nate is seven and Sophia is two  (although it feels like she’s  2 going on 12) just to give you an idea.

Here is a one of my favorite throwback photos. It was taken last year during the Covid lockdown. I wanted to get Easter pics done so bad that I had no choice but to do it myself at home. I think it turned out very well to be honest. 🙂

That way, it gives them something to look forward to yet you are not overdoing it as if it’s Christmas. I hope you find this useful. Be sure to share any of your ideas with me.
