Based on a novel by none other than the great Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol revolves around the story of Ebenezer Scrooge in 1843. Scrooge is a surly and penny-pinching moneylender with a gruff disposition and does not enjoy Christmas at all. He had run the business all on his own for the past 7 years after the tragic passing of his partner, Jacob Marley. As Scrooge falls into the Christmas mood slump while everyone around him celebrates, he is visited by Marley’s ghost who asks him to repent his ways or he would be condemned in the afterlife.
For the following three days, Scrooge meets the three spirits of Christmas – one each from the past, the present, and the future. Will these meetings shape the course of Scrooge’s life? Enjoy this movie and its light comedy and fantasy notes with Patrick Stewart, Richard Grant, Saskia Reeves, and Bernard Lloyd as part of the wonderful cast.
Is it really Christmas if you do not watch Home Alone at least once?

A delighted Kevin enjoys the empty home and all the fun that comes with being home alone. However, his euphoria is quickly overshadowed by two thieves planning to break into his home.
Kevin must pull himself together and protect his family home from the two dangerous burglars that are constantly hanging around — all while keeping himself safe. What will Kevin do?

Nothing screams the holiday spirit like watching Die Hard on Christmas Eve. It’s messy, it’s thrilling, and to be honest, quite the drama we all crave. Bruce Willis plays John McLane in this holiday movie, an NYPD detective, who is visiting his separated wife and daughters in LA on Christmas Eve. German terrorists led by Hans Gruber, unfortunately, seize the building where McLane is to meet his wife, and everyone except him is taken hostage.

He alone has to come up with a way to storm into the building and become the terrorist’s worst nightmare.
