What's not to love about the festive season? The overeating, the presents, the pretty lights, and of course, the Christmas movies. Here are some classic flicks to get you feeling jolly.

Join the Whos of Whoville as the spread the Christmas cheer all the way up Mount Crumpit into the Grinch's cave thanks to the courageous Cindy Lou (played by a young Taylor Momsen). Prepare to laugh and marvel at Jim Carrey's Grinch, and for some serious Christmas feels. (SPOILER: he may or may not save Christmas)

4. Bridget Jones's Diary

The movie that accurately portrays the struggles of singles at Christmas. Although we don't all get to eventually choose between Colin Firth and Hugh Grant. Proof that love can be found during the holiday season (even while wearing horrendous knitted jumpers).
