I watched these Christmas movies this year:
The Muppet Christmas Carol: Not only the best adaptation but probably my favourite Christmas movie that gets a watch every year. It perfectly blends the source material with muppet humour that is a lot of fun. Michael Caine is great. 10/10
Klaus: I loved this one. Has some beautiful animation while telling an engaging Santa origin story with interesting characters. Just a cute heartwarming film that deserves a spot in the yearly rotation. 10/10
Noelle: This is a safe Disney Christmas movie that has some enjoyable moments. Anna Kendrick is adorable despite kind of ripping off Buddy from Elf. Bill Hader as Santa is the highlight. It's fine. 6/10
Iron Man 3: I wanted something more action packed and I guess this is a Christmas movie. It actually works better as a Christmas movie, following a damaged man learning to be less selfish, before losing any resemblance to a holiday film in the over the top action packed third act. I wasn't a fan of this when I first watched an watching at Christmas doesn't change much. 5/10
