35 Holiday Movies To Watch: Suggestions for Families, Girlfriends, Couples & Kids

December 16, 2014 by Lisa Leave a Comment

The Best Holiday Movies Atypical Familia

Tis the season to snuggle up and watch holiday movies. Not every movie on this list has to do with Christmas but all – at some point – are set during the Christmas/Holiday season. I guarantee there is something on this list for everyone.

Holiday Movies: Families

From classics to cartoons here are 16 of our must watch movies! Not all will appeal to kids but they can be watched with kids in the room. As a kid, It’s a Wonderful Life never appealed to me. But my aunt always played it. The first time I watched it as an adult, I remembered it but saw it with a new appreciation. Now it’s a must watch every year. And I hope Norrin will grow to love it too.

Holiday Movies: Chick Flicks

Break out the wine, bring out the tissues and gather your besties! Or feel free to watch any of these alone. I love, love, love cheesy holiday romantic comedies – which all of these are except for Rent and Best Man Holiday. But all will make you ugly cry and feel good inside at the end.

  4. The Family Stone
  5. When Harry Met Sally

Holiday Movies: The Husband Won’t Hate Watching

If your husband is anything like mine, he’ll appreciate the movies on this list. These are all movies Joseph doesn’t mind watching because they take place during the holidays BUT they don’t revolve around the holidays. Which means they aren’t sappy. So on nights when Norrin falls asleep early and I want to watch something Christmasy – I check this list because it appeals to both me and Joseph. And honestly I do love them too.

Holiday Movies for Husband Boyfriend Atypical Familia
  1. The Long Kiss Goodnight
  2. Trading Places
  3. Die Hard
  4. Better Off Dead
  5. Gremlins
  6. Batman Returns
  7. Lethal Weapon
  8. Rocky 4
  9. LA Confidential

What’s your favorite movie to watch during the holidays?

euphoria: the feeling or state of intense exciteme euphoria: the feeling or state of intense excitement and happiness 🌻 I may struggle with depression and anxiety but I also have moments of pure and genuine happiness. That is where I am right now. One of the gifts I’ve received in sobriety is the ability to hold space for all of my emotions. I feel them, I acknowledge them and I let them pass. For me, it’s in the passing where the power is... I don’t stay in it. ✨ 45 is going to be amazing. ✨
Depression and anxiety can easily knock me down. B Depression and anxiety can easily knock me down. But I continue to get up. I do my hair, throw on some hoops, dab a little gloss and give myself a pep talk. Dear Me, I know you’re scared, but you can handle this. Keep going. Love, Me 🌻#selfcareseptember #radicalbodylove
No I’m sorry or explanation necessary. Just NO a No I’m sorry or explanation necessary. Just NO and keep it moving. ”No” is hard when you’re a people pleaser but boundaries are absolutely necessary. It’s something I’m learning to do to maintain my own peace of mind. Lack of boundaries invites lack of respect. And I respect myself way too much to allow anyone to disrespect me. 💥 periodt ✌🏼 #selfcareseptember #radicalbodylove
I try to start my mornings with a gratitude list. I try to start my mornings with a gratitude list. After meditating and writing my list, I opened my Beautiful You book. Describing myself in 25 words or less without using roles or physical features was not easy. It took a little time. But I did. Making healthy choices, setting boundaries is a daily practice. I am grateful I have the willingness to do so. I am grateful I can pause and breathe through my anxiety. I am grateful I have the courage to follow my dreams. Thank you @rosiemolinary - I am grateful for your words and online presence in my life. Hope we can be in the same room again soon. xoxo amiga 💛 #selfcareseptember #radicalbodylove

The solitude forced me to figure myself out. I may not always be happy about my situation, but I am happy with myself. And I think it shows. 💛 #selfcareseptember #radicalbodylove
