If you prefer movies over TV shows, here are our suggestions to help you make the last days of December cozy and fun.
Klaus @ Netflix
Klaus is a 2019 Spanish-American animated Christmas comedy.
A simple act of kindness always sparks another, even in a frozen, faraway place. When Smeerensburg's new postman, Jesper, befriends toymaker Klaus, their gifts melt an age-old feud and deliver a sleigh full of holiday traditions. A selfish postman and reclusive toymaker form an unlikely friendship, delivering joy to a cold, dark town that desperately needs it.
This Netflix animated film rounds out our Holiday Watchlist with a Santa story we've never heard before.
The Age of Innosence @ Netflix
Based on a 1920 novel by American author Edith Wharton, The Age of Innosence (1993) is a tale of nineteenth-century New York high society in which a young lawyer falls in love with a woman separated from her husband, while he is engaged to the woman's cousin.
In a world of tradition. In an age of innocence. They dared to break the rules.

Ali's Wedding @ Netflix
After telling a white lie which spirals out of control, a neurotic, naive, musically gifted Muslim cleric's eldest son must follow through with an arranged marriage, even though he's madly in love with an Australian born-Lebanese girl.
Ali's Wedding movie, aside from easily standing on its own two feet as entertainment, makes a contribution to our multicultural society through understanding. A true story. Unfortunately.
