Winter break is only 24 hours away. Be sure to start your break off right with these festive flicks to get you in the holiday spirit!

The stockings are stuffed, fresh cookies are on the mantle and twinkling lights are wrapped around the Christmas tree that stands in the corner. This scene is made complete with a classic holiday movie. A Christmas Story is a comedy that also shows the materialistic and wacky aspects of the holidays: extensive wish lists and family shenanigans. The movie stars Ralphie, a young boy trying to convince his parents to buy him a BB gun. The audience will certainly empathize with Ralphie because everyone has experienced holiday drama. This Christmas, watch a movie that just might make your holiday seem normal.

The best way to spend the holidays is wrapped up in blankets watching the best Christmas movie, The Polar Express. A cuddle buddy must be present, a fuzzy blanket must be in reach and a cup of espresso must be ready to drink. Before pressing play, know that this movie is about a boy who doubts the existence of Santa Claus. However, when a train appears in his front yard on Christmas Eve, he embarks on a train headed to the North Pole. As the holiday season kicks off, take a night to climb aboard “The Polar Express.” After all, this train only comes around once a year.
