I’ve always been in love with Christmas. It’s my favorite season — cozy lights, festive decorations, and, of course, the joy of curling up with a good Christmas movie.
When I met my husband, I introduced him to this magical little tradition, and now he loves it just as much as I do. Almost every night before bed, we watch something light and heartwarming — nothing heavy or negative. And that’s precisely where Christmas movies come in.
We usually start our holiday movie marathon in September (yes, you read that right!). While Netflix and Amazon Prime tend to release their Christmas lineups closer to November, we can’t wait that long. Thankfully, the glorious Hallmark Channel always comes to the rescue with a never-ending supply of holiday cheer.
Now, let’s be honest — most of the romantic Christmas movies follow the same formula:
- A woman meets a man in the most unexpected way.
- They face a few challenges, but start to fall for each other.
- Some drama causes a rift.
- They reunite just in time for a magical Christmas ending.
It’s predictable. It’s cheesy. And it’s absolutely fantastic.
