With December right around the corner it’s almost that time of year for the Christmas lights to be hung, trees to be decorated, and gifts to be wrapped in beautiful and shiny paper. But what is the holidays without Christmas movies? For the entire month channels will be broadcasting their favorite holiday themed movies, both old and new. Netflix has also begun releasing new films as well, so it’s only fitting to do a quiz on them!
As expected, this quiz features a number of “classic” films which are staple pieces for this time of year. For example, Home Alone - the 1990 movie that depicts the Christmas events of young Kevin McCallister as he braves the holiday alone. There is also a mixture of both live action and animation for those enthusiastic Christmas movie lovers. But don’t expect just the most popular titles to be listed. To keep things interesting there are also some more recent movies that have been released in the last couple of years. Also some Hallmark classics which are known to be a little cheesy but undeniably sweet.
Whether it be movies that are loosely based around Christmas or ones that are set in the North Pole itself, only the Grinch wouldn't be able to name these merry movies!
