The Top 5 Christmas Movies of 2020

 


I admit it--I am a Christmas movie junkie. Every year I watch as many of them as I can. Starting in mid December, it is my goal to watch at least one a day and maybe 2 or 3 on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. 2020 has been no exception. With Coronavirus lurking in the background and a still-undecided election not quite behind us, holiday cheer is perhaps more needed now than ever, so I have happily watched at least one Christmas movie a day since Dec. 13. 

While I enjoy most of the holiday movies, some Christmas movies as better than others. To make the top five list the movie has to be family friendly and have a moral a little deeper than "they fell in love and lived happily ever after." A good story, at least decent acting, and traditional values are are required as well as an abundance of holiday cheer. Christmas music is a definite plus.

The movie also has to be easily available for viewing on Netflix, Amazon Prime, or other channels during the 2020 holiday season.

Here are my picks for the Top Five Christmas Movies for the 2020 holiday season.

1. "A Christmas Snow” movie (2010) stars Catherine Mary Stewart, Muse Watson, Cameron Ten Napel & Anthony Tyler Quinn. For decades, Kathleen (Catherine Mary Stewart) has been haunted by the painful memory of her father abandoning her and her mother on Christmas Eve. Her sadness has turned to bitterness which she is forced to confront when she is stranded in a blizzard with a bratty ten year old and a mysterious homeless man. This movies scored the Numer One position with a strong story about forgiveness and redemption. It was the only movie that made me tear up this year.

2. Max Lucado knows Christmas and has written many Christmas stories and books. Now you can watch Max Lucado’s “The Christmas Candle" for Free during the Christmas holidays to celebrate the holiday season. RevelationMedia is offering families the opportunity to watch the latest movie from MAx Lucado for free in 2020. Watch Max Lucado’s The Christmas Candle Free Through Holiday Season

3. "Hometown Christmas" (2018) is a fun holiday movie starring Beverley Mitchell, Stephen Colletti, Erin Cahill, Melissa Gilbert, and Brian McNamara. The movie focuses on family and hometown traditions, especially the annual Christmas play about the nativity. = 'Hometown 'Hometown Christmas' Movie a Fun Holiday Film

4. Rio Vista Universal Films released a Hallmark style faith based family friendly film, "Rekindling Christmas" for the holiday season. The film which was released last week is being heavily promoted by Dish Network and promises to be a holiday classic based on the novel with the same name, Rekindling Christmas. The film brings a variety of emotions, betrayal, forgiveness, and more. ‘Rekindling Christmas’ A Faith-Based Family-Friendly Film for the Holidays

5. Barely making it on my list for 2020 is "The Christmas Chronicles 2." "Chronicles" brings all the star power, excitement and holiday fun one could want, with the added bonus of telling the often-overlooked history of Saint Nicholas. However, it deviates from tradition with a quirky side story about an overgrown, somewhat vicious elf, Belsnickel, who doesn't look or act like the other elves. I had to winder why they picked a character who looked so different from the other elves in both his human and animated form.
