A Bad Moms Christmas

very relatable if you have a wife stressing out over "the perfect christmas" for 30 consecutive days of misery

Four Christmases has slowly become one of my favorite holiday movies over the years. I laugh at the entire movie. Great quotable comedy.

8-Bit Christmas (2021) was pretty solid. Neil Patrick Harris telling his kids about the glory days of when the Nintendo first came out.
Great movie, but only good for 1 watch thru. Wont watch it ever again.

It’s not new and I have no idea if your wife will like it, but Harold and Kumar Christmas is Chritsmas-y and kind of a fun movie.

Another vote for Klaus. This board's been championing it for years and I got on the hype train. It's outstanding.

Silent Night, Deadly Night is always a Christmas classic.

Not new but An American Christmas Carol with Henry Winkler was pretty decent imo. It follows the general theme of the Scrooge story but in a different way. It's worth a watch if interested. I'm pretty sure it's on Tubi currently

The Night Before is absolutely hilarious if you like stupid Seth Rogan

8-bit Christmas and The Naughty Nine are both very modern themed Christmas movies that came out recently.

Klaus is a little unorthodox animation style but really, really good story telling

A Boy Named Christmas is again a really good story and stars the late Professor McGonagall.

Honestly think it’s a top 5 Christmas movie for kids that will stand the test of time.

There was a movie where Goldberg was a homicidal version of Santa I saw a few years back that was something


Santa's Slay, and I found it absolutely ridiculous.

Not necessarily good, but the 2012 version of Silent Night is how I usually begin my Christmas season movie watching.

Spirited (Ryan Reynolds and Will Farrell
please tell me that's not the one where he falls in love with a fat black woman .

And that recent Eddie Murphy black Santa movie was terrible. Just terrible.

So is the one with the black inventor who creates a mechanical man and his granddaughter shows up and does calculus in her head

Just absolute trash

My millennial kids and I like Holidate. It's pretty funny, but not a kid's movie. Love Hard is pretty funny too, but not as good as Holidate. Both on Netflix. My 3 favorite, very cheesy Hallmark movies are Good Morning, Christmas, A Shoe Addict's Christmas, and Ghost of Christmas Always. The last 2 are takes on A Christmas Carol, with Ghost of Christmas Always being a little more original. But they are Hallmark.

8 Bit is an awesome bit of late 80s type fun! Noelle is very cute. It's on Disney. Unaccompanied Minors is kind of cute. I forget about that one.

I count The Family Man and The Holiday as Christmas movies. Your wife probably loves those.
