While some consider Mean Girls to be a “holiday” movie because of the “jingle-bell rock scene,” star Lindsey Lohan has delivered an unquestionably Christmas-worthy film this year. Lohan portrays a newly engaged heiress who gets amnesia after a skiing accident and has to be looked after by a handsome lodge owner (Glee’s Chord Overstreet) and his daughter.

Peter Billingsley returns to his iconic role of Ralphie from the 1983 film A Christmas Story. This movie is sure to transport us to Christmas’ past as an adult-Ralphie returns to his house on Cleveland Street so his kids can live the same magical Christmas he knew in his youth.

For another holiday romance, turn to Aimee Garcia and Freddie Prinze Jr.’s new film. According to IMDB, this movie “Follows a pop star who’s got a career burnout and escapes to a small town where she finds not only inspiration but a shot of love.” What better way to unwind after finals than watching a pop star de-stress and find love on the big screen?
