If you’re anything like us, then one of the best things about the festive season is the myriad of Christmas-themed films that get released right about this time. And this year, we’re absolutely spoilt for choice, with over a dozen major productions worth adding to your list.
Here are three we absolutely can’t wait to see.
Nutcrackers: We kick-off our list with a brand new Christmas comedy featuring the inimitable Ben Stiller. In Nutcrackers, which will be available on Disney+ as of November 29, Ben stars as a real-estate developer (very appropriate for Malta) who ends up taking care of his sister’s orphaned son. As is tradition, the story takes place in a rural setting, bringing together all the ingredients that make up a classic Christmas feel-good movie.
Hot Frosty: By far the most talked-about Christmas film this year is Hot Frosty, which stars Mean Girls’ Gretchen Wieners actress, Lacey Chabert. In the film, Lacey, who was widowed two years ago, brings a snowman to life for an adventure full of romance, tears, laughs, and even a Mean Girls reference. Hot Frosty is already available to stream on Netflix!
The Merry Gentlemen: Millennials will surely recognise the star of The Merry Gentlemen, as it’s one of the most popular actors of the early- to mid-noughties, the very handsome Chad Michael Murray. In this film, he’s a dancer looking to save a performing arts venue and he does so pretty much shirtless, which we can’t complain about. This film came out on Netflix on November 20.
