Le Grinch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMyF9-FZT_Q
The Grinch since its first adaptation with Jim Carrey has become a Christmas classic. Building on the success of the film, a new version was released in 2018. The Grinch is a bogeyman who hates Christmas. The trees, the songs of the choir, the Christmas cookies: nothing interests him. It will even exasperate him to the point of stealing Christmas from the townspeople. But beneath his cranky air, hides a good soul that asks only to be understood. Her cry of despair will be heard by a little girl. If you are feeling jaded as the holidays approach, this movie will bring your good humor back to you.
Jingle Jangle: an enchanted Christmas
Musicals, there are plenty. But Jingle Jangle stands out from the crowd. The motto of this film is: anything is possible. Jeronicus Jangle is an ingenious toy maker. But one day, his faith in people will grow cold because of a betrayal. Since then, the man has refrained from sharing his good times. But Journey, his charming and enthusiastic granddaughter will prove to him that it is necessary to break down the barriers of uncertainty and doubt. In addition to its benevolent history, this musical includes a cast of the most interesting. We have Forest Whitaker, Ricky Martin, and Lisa Davina Phillip. Plus, the movie has songs that will stick with you for a long time. This makes sense when you consider that John Legend, co-producer of the film, co-wrote one of the songs. In addition, the special effects and the costumes are quite eye-catching.

The Princess of Chicago Trilogy
If you have time to not know what to do with it, we advise you to make it profitable by watching the trilogy of The Princess of Chicago. Vanessa Hudgens plays both Lady Margaret, a princess who misses life at court, and Stacy a pastry chef in search of a life purpose. In the first part, the two women will exchange their respective lives in order to explore other horizons.
In the second part, the Princess of Chicago: in the skin of a Queen, the Margaret-Stacy tandem is joined by a third double, Fiona, Margaret’s cousin. Fiona, under her air of an inveterate party girl, has only one thing in mind: to steal the crown from her cousin. But Margaret is troubled by her relationship with the struggling Kevin. Stacy will then have to protect her friend from this double threat that looms.
After the success of the first two films, Netflix returns with the third film, The Princess of Chicago: In Search of the Star. The Vatican entrusts a Christmas relic to Queen Margaret who is organizing a party at the palace. But, during the event, the object is stolen. Stacy and Maragaret will then call on an expert in theft and subterfuge: cousin’s head in the air: Fiona. Each will put aside her apprehensions and work to find the stolen object. While the storylines are pretty light overall, the trilogy is best loved for Vanessa Hudgens’ acting. The actress has played three different roles, without being overdone. A feat that would have pushed Netflix to plan a fourth installment of the Princess of Chicago.
Holidate
Holidate could on the surface rank as one more Christmas movie. The scenario is ordinary: two singles decide to play lovers only for the holiday season. All this in order to avoid constant questions from their families. But below the Me, Myself and I, Sloane and Jackson hide personal battles that keep them from projecting into a relationship. This relationship, which was meant to be friendly, will slowly but surely lead to a more serious relationship. If you prefer romantic films, Holidate is perfect then for its sparkling and funny contributions.
A safari for Christmas
To cure a disorder, there is nothing better than to get away from it all. That’s what Kate will do. She spends a troubled moment in her life: her husband says he no longer feels anything for her. The very social New Yorker will then leave for Zambia. Not only will she find love there, but she will discover a passion for the animal cause. The added bonus of the film is that the production team has done everything possible to make it as authentic as possible. Everything was filmed in Zambia. In addition, the scenario has a personal approach, because it questions us about the animal cause. Failing to shed a tear for love, you will do well for the baby elephants.
