THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – CHRISTMAS CONSULTANT

Everybody loves Owen, much to Maya’s annoyance, and he has the perfect solution to each and every problem as it arises but it turns out that his own life isn’t how he paints it. 

It isn’t the best example of a Christmas movie but it’s well worth a watch if for no other reason than to see Maya meltdown at the Christmas Eve party.

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – I’M NOT READY FOR CHRISTMAS

 

Holly Nolan (Alicia Witt) lives in a world where lying has become second nature for her. However, she finds after telling a few too many lies and disappointing those around her once too often that her life's about to change, because Holly's niece, Anna, (Mia Bagley), asks Santa Claus (Dan Lauria) to make Holly incapable of telling a lie as her Christmas wish.

The engaging story that follows is a tale of how telling the truth changes Holly's life in ways she could never have anticipated before.

It’s an enjoyable Christmas movie especially with Alicia Witt’s performance who never disappoints.

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER - HATS OFF TO CHRISTMAS

 

Mia (Haylie Duff), is the loyal and hard-working manager of her small town's Christmas hat shop, Hats off to Christmas.

She is hoping that after over ten years with the company she is due a promotion when she is called in to see her boss (Jay Brazeau).

However all does not go as she had hoped and instead of a promotion she is asked to train his son, Nick (Antonio Cupo), for the vacant upper-management position.

Nick himself gets a surprise when he finds out that the training is from the bottom up.

And that is the basic premise for this very likeable seasonal romantic comedy.

Good performances by Sean Michael Kyer as Mia's wheelchair bound so as her son Scotty and Melanie Papalia as her friend Ellie add to the overall enjoyment.

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – NOVEMBER CHRISTMAS

 

This is the beautiful tale of love and generosity of spirit where neighbours go above and beyond with their wonderful surprises to make a little girl happy.

At the heart of the story is Vanessa Marks (Emily Alyn Lind) a brave young girl who is battling cancer, which has an effect on the people around her.

In particular her parents Tom and Beth (John Corbett and Sarah Paulson) and her brother Gordon (Max Charles).

But when it looks like she may not see Christmas her parents decide to bring Christmas forward so that she will see another Christmas if the worst came to the worst.

Which is how they came to meet Jess and Claire Sanford (Sam Elliott and Karen Allen) who had themselves lost a child, and high school student Tammy (Elizabeth McLaughlin) who between them made sure Vanessa had Christmas in November.

The look on young Vanessa’s face when she sees the result is an absolute joy, Emily Alyn Lind’s performance in the film steals the show, and I say that despite the fact she is in very esteemed company.

November Christmas is a lovely family movie, a real, hot chocolate, warm fuzzy blanket kind of film, oh and a box of tissues for all those tender moments, of which there are many.

If you only ever watch one Christmas movie in your life, make sure it’s this one.
