A Holiday Movie for Every Occasion

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at CWU chapter.

For a Good Cry… Watch The Christmas Shoes

If you and your girlfriends need a good cry, The Christmas Shoes is the perfect movie to curl up with a glass of wine and chocolates and let it all out. The song alone that this movie is based on could bring anyone to tears!

 

If you’re in the mood for a Rom-Com… Watch Four Christmases

Four Christmases is such an underrated movie about a couple who avoids spending time with their dysfunctional families in search for a relaxing holiday. When they’re flight to their tropical destination gets cancelled, they find the joy in being together while they’re visiting the four houses on Christmas day. 

 

If you want a classic… Watch A Christmas Story

 

While A Christmas Story is not the most popular holiday movies out these days, it’s a great movie to watch with your family because it’s probably one of the movies our parents watched when they were little.

 

For a good laugh… Watch Elf

In the past 10 years, Elf has become a pivotal movie in many households during the holidays. Not only is it hilarious (Will Ferrell, duh) but it warms your heart with a love story and the story of family.

 

For a Family movie… Watch This Christmas

This movie lets you into the lives of a big family and their traditions and problems that most big families face around the holidays. It stars young Chris Brown, so that’s a reason to watch it alone!

 

For a change of pace… Watch Eight Crazy Nights

Adam Sandler is the voice of Davey Stone in this animated film about Hanukkah. It’s rarely talked about, but it’s hilarious and definitely a nice change from the long list of Christmas movies.
