There is nothing that can beat the joy and comfort that Christmas films provide. The holiday films bring obvious happiness, but it’s actually the actual experience that is what makes them a cherished celebration for kids or old. Even though your family might already have a list of classics ( Home Alone is an obvious choice), You could consider adding something fresh to your list by checking out these Christmas films available on HBO Max.
In this list, there’s a wide selection of movies that you must watch that was released during the holidays long ago, as well as some newer choices that the kids will be able to recognize. Although this list doesn’t have a ton of Christmas romantic comedies (head for Hallmark Channel or Lifetime for this), There are numerous old-fashioned films (Holiday Affair), funny Christmas movies (Elf), and even some horror movies to give anyone some festive fun.
While HBO Max doesn’t offer a trial for free, think of its monthly plan ($14.99/month) to be an ongoing gift that keeps giving, particularly since you’re able to revisit these films (and hundreds of others!) for as many times as you’d like, even for a long time after the season has ended.
