How do you spend your Christmas break? Ice skating? Carolling? Or curled up in a blanket watching Christmas films like a sentient toad?

If, like us, it’s the amphibious life for you and you plan on engaging in a festive film marathon, you’re in luck. We’ve re-watched and reviewed some Christmas classics, giving points for fuzzy feelings and festive features. With more platforms than ever before, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney+, we’re spoilt for choice.

How about a feel-good classic, such as Emma RobertsHolidate or Lindsay Lohan in Falling for Christmas? Or of course, there’s sentimental festive favourites like The Holiday, Elf, Home Alone and Miracle On 34th Street – or the more rogue choices for the less festive (like A Nightmare Before Christmas or Die Hard).

LP Staff Writers

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
