We end this article on a light note with How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) or its recent fully animated version of 2018 based on Dr. Seuss’ beloved holiday classic. An iconic movie that will make the little ones like the older ones laugh and smile. Not only is this movie so well done and Christmassy but it teaches a lesson of love, positive vibes and care for the other. We are in Whooville where the Whoos (citizens of Whooville) are cheerfully preparing for Christmas. However, the Grinch, a selfish and cold creature that lives up in the mountain, is not taking part in any of the fun. He hates the holiday. Cindy Lou-Whoo, a 6 year-old discovers one day, after encountering the Grinch at the post office that he has a terrible hidden past of being bullied and left aside. Therefore, she nominates the Grinch as the new “Holiday Cheermeister, which starts well for him but ends drastically badly. The Grinch is enraged by how materialist Christmas is and this is when everything starts going downhill. He proceeds to stealing gifts, decorations and even food. His mission is to destroy Christmas. However, the movie ends on a very delicate and positive note, as the Grinch will realize thanks to Cindy, that Christmas is more than material. At the end of the day, what matters is to be surrounded by family and friends. We recommend this movie to unwind after a long week and to reconnect with the true meaning of Christmas, sometimes overshadowed by material wants.

We are hopeful this selection will spark your interest and keep the Christmas cheer around for as long as possible. After all, this holiday only happens once a year, we might as well cherish it! Gather with friends and family to watch our top movies for the holidays and take some time to chill!
