THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – DEAR SANTA

This is certainly cheesy and clichéd yet still manages to be a wonderful movie.

Amy Acker steals your heart as the poor little rich girl, told to do something useful with her life or lose her financial support.

Which she does after inadvertently intercepting a child’s letter to Santa, which brings her into contact with Haydn-Jones and his daughter Olivia Gowan.

She instantly falls in love with him and forms a close bond with her.

Gina Holden is excellent as the evil queen character as Haydn-Jones girlfriend who is at her worst/best when Acker comes between the two of them.

It’s a really sweet Christmas film not to be taken too seriously but is to be enjoyed.

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – THE CHRISTMAS ANGEL: A FAMILY STORY (1998)

The Christmas Angel is the heart-warming and beautifully portrayed story in a Nutcracker meets Disney on Ice style offering performed by Dorothy Hamill and other equally talented skaters.

Chip Davis and Olivia Newton-John narrate the story of a decorative angel that is stolen from the top of a Christmas tree by a villain called the Gargon. The toys under the tree will not become presents until the angel is found so with the toys' help, a young mother must defeat the Gargon and save Christmas.

Mannheim Steamroller provide the music and helps to set the mood of each scene in a great family movie that won’t disappoint fans of Mannheim Steamroller or Disney on Ice.

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – HOME FOR CHRISTMAS (2017)

Realtor Jane McKendrick (Catherine Bell), is an overprotective widowed single mom who has to maintain the balance between her career and her teenage daughter Betsy (Matreya Fedor), and even denies herself a love life with friend and admirer Jackson Hart (Victor Webster).

Mother and daughter have a good relationship, at least they did before Betsy met and fell in love with a serving soldier Tyler Sloane (Anthony Konechny).

Jane tries her best to steer her daughter away from the heartache, as her husband had been a soldier who was killed in action, but Betsy is determined to share a long-distance relationship with her active-duty soldier in the line of fire.

But she comes to the conclusion that her mother was right when it is reported that Tyler was killed in Afghanistan.

However they don’t realise that they are about to learn important lessons of the heart and that taking chances can make this Christmas one they will cherish forever.

ADOLPH HITLER REALLY LOVED CHRISTMAS

Adolph Hitler really loved Christmas

That much is perfectly clear

He loved the sleigh and the team

But Blitzen was his favourite reindeer?

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – MY FIRST CHRISTMAS (2015)

 

Angelica (Katya Martín), is a 16-year-old girl who's battling a rare kind of cancer called Myelodysplastic Syndrome, and it will claim her life if she doesn’t get a bone marrow transplant and on top of her struggles to try to live a normal life is the very real prospect of never finding a donor match, but higher on her priority list are her hopes of finding her first true love before it's too late.

But then she meets homeless teenager Sean (Juan Castano).

A heart-warming film in which the acting is only surpassed by the Cinematography, well worth a watch.
