Rating: 8.6/10 IMDb

Some holiday movies do suffer from age, but I am happy to report that It’s a Wonderful Life is not one of them. I first watched this film when I was 19 years old, spending the holidays with my grandparents in south Texas. My immediate thought was the overwhelming regret that I had waited so long to treat myself to this gem of a film, about a down-on-his-luck businessman realizes that he has so much more to be grateful for than he realizes.

What is is about royal palaces and the holidays? Whatever it is, we here at Reel Good approve!

Rating: 6.4/10 IMDb

This 1994 animated production of A Christmas Carol is great to share with the kids. The story is already pretty dark, and this version is no exception.

Christmas Miracle

Starring: Allison Hossack, Aaron Pearl, Dan Payne
Rating: 5.3/10 IMDb

Even with the usual cheese (“The good cheese,” trademark Sabienna Bowman) that comes with many of Thomas Kinkade’s Christmas films, there comes a time of year when all a holiday movie has to do, is convey a genuine sense of holiday warmth and coziness that doesn’t feel like it came straight off of a soundstage. Christmas Miracle has that in spades.

 A Golden Christmas
