The Holiday

I mean, do you even need an introduction to this Nancy Meyers classic? (Actually, one Stylist writer did, and she shared her hilarious reaction after seeing it for the first time). It of course follows the story of LA movie trailer producer Amanda (Cameron Diaz) and Surrey-based journalist Iris (Kate Winslet) who do a house swap to readdress their broken hearts ahead of the holidays.

Gremlins

Although it was originally released in summer in 1984, Gremlins is widely considered as a Christmas film. It follows the story of struggling inventor, Randall Peltzer, who buys an unusual, furry creature as a Christmas present for his son. However the strange but sweet pet Gizmo soon spawns other creatures which transform into little gremlins, and wreak havoc across the town.
