Alternative Christmas films you should be watching every year including 'hilarious gem'

If you're tired of the same old Christmas films you've been made to watch over and over again year after year, there are still a whole list of alternative titles you can select to vary your festive viewing. A Reddit user issued a plea for people to suggest alternate Christmas films after going through all the typical options. They were hoping for something more 'offbeat' after having already watched the likes of Home Alone, Elf and Polar Express. They admitted: "I truly am scraping the bottom of the barrel in terms of options, and am looking for recommendations.".
They were inundated with replies of users listing several suggestions ranging from heartfelt comedies, a multi-lingual action title and more family friendly fare. They include a 'hilarious gem' and most comments claimed that each film should be added to everyone's regular list of seasonal favourites. Here are a select number of those suggestions and other titles that film fans suggest you should be watching every year.
While it is the lowest rated of suggestions according to Rotten Tomatoes, it still has many fans who claim they watch it every year following its 2019 release. The film stars Anna Kendrick as the daughter of Santa, who tries to prepare her brother, played by Bill Hader to take over the big man's important role. But when he goes missing, it's up to Noelle to bring her sibling back from the real world to the North Pole and save Christmas.
This title is one to throw on while the whole family are around or in the background while finishing up the chores like peeling or wrapping. One fan said: "This movie is adorable, funny, heartfelt and a great family holiday movie. It has been on our annual list since it came out!".
