The premise is simple: Billy (Zach Galligan), a down-on-his-luck teen, receives a mogwai for Christmas \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 an adorable hamster-like pet that comes with three simple rules: no water, no bright lights, and absolutely no food after midnight. Of course, these rules are inevitably broken, and the mogwai spawns evil Gremlins, who tear the fictional town apart.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is exactly why <em>Gremlins <\/em>isn&#8217;t like other Christmas movies: its antagonists smoke, drink, fight and spit, and as a child, this was one of those films that truly proved terrifying, and was particularly hard to sit through! The transition from cute mogwai to evil Gremlin is genuinely shocking, with the shrill soundtrack and gruesome death scenes helping to ramp up the tension, almost reaching demonic levels at points \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 something you very rarely see from this subgenre. It&#8217;s a festive horror with one clear message: read the instructions before enjoying your Christmas presents!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Gremlins (1984) Official Trailer #1 - Horror Comedy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XBEVwaJEgaA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em><strong>The Greatest Showman<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>by Molly Allen<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When some think of Christmas, you don&#8217;t necessarily think of <em>The Greatest Showman.<\/em> Yet I associate this film with the holiday season, largely because it has become a recent tradition in my household to watch the film around this time. The film was released on the 26<sup>th<\/sup> of December 2017, and since then it has always appeared on TV at Christmas-time, meaning it&#8217;s a hard film to avoid! It&#8217;s possibly one of my favourite film musicals, as the catchy music and star-studded cast never gets tiring to watch, meaning I can always look forward to spending time with my family and watching it as a Christmas film. I don&#8217;t know if anyone else has the same experience with the film, but let&#8217;s all be honest; who doesn&#8217;t want to see a catchy duet between Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron at Christmas?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AXCTMGYUg9A\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Harry Potter and the Philosopher&#8217;s Stone<\/em>\u252c\u00e1<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>by Alice Friel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All you need to get in the Christmas spirit is a bit of nostalgia. That&#8217;s why I&#8217;d argue <em>Harry Potter and the Philosopher&#8217;s Stone <\/em>is the best Christmas film of all time! Hot take, I know, but there&#8217;s nothing I look forward to more every year than snuggling up with a mug of hot chocolate and a tub of Celebrations to watch this classic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All I look for in a Christmas film is that warm, fuzzy feeling- and <em>Harry Potter <\/em>definitely delivers! The iconic scene featuring Harry and Ron on Christmas morning is the most magical part of the whole series. With a roaring common room fire, enchanted decorations and the cosiest knitted jumpers, the desperation I felt at age eleven whilst waiting for my Hogwarts&#8217; letter to arrive comes right back to me. And can you think of a more Christmassy image than the Hogwarts castle in snow? Of course not.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, the Christmas scenes only make up a fraction of the film. However, the excitement the trio feel as they enter into the wizarding world for the first time is akin to the excitement we all felt as children on Christmas morning, and that&#8217;s enough for me.\u252c\u00e1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div
