After watching the parade, eating your weight in turkey and pumpkin pie, and catching up with family and friends, there’s just nothing better than curling up on the sofa with your loved ones and watching a movie. Here are my top five picks to help you find a movie that makes everyone happy.
- THe Cozy Mystery: Knives Out
-
This murder mystery film has a star-studded cast and a story that will keep everyone guessing until the very end. Plus, the film’s family dynamics might resonate with you as you get the whole family together for the holidays.
- The Family-Friendly Pick: A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving
-
There’s nothing like Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the rest of the Peanuts to get everyone into the holiday spirit. This animated classic will be a popular pick with kids and grown-ups alike, and it’s so familiar to most people that everyone can keep talking throughout the movie without needing to worry about missing an important plot point.
- The Christmas Classic: Miracle on 34th Street
-
This holiday classic literally includes the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade as a major plot element, so it’s the perfect movie to transition your family from Thanksgiving to the Christmas spirit.
- The Modern Holiday Movie: Love Actually
-
This is my all-time favorite holiday movie because it has such a diverse range of characters and is tied together in a really heartwarming way. With its interwoven individual storylines, there’s bound to be a relatable character or plot for everyone watching.
- The Unconventional Choice: Uncle Frank
-
This film set in the 1970s focuses on the relationship between a teenager and her uncle on a road trip to a funeral where they’re unexpectedly joined by her uncle’s partner. With themes of family, connection, and acceptance, this is a great unconventional pick for those looking to try something new.
