Why Hallmark Movies are a Necessity to Celebrating Christmas
During the month of December, my mom and I sit down every single night and watch at least one Hallmark Christmas movie together. It is a tradition that we’ve had for years, and I’m sure by now we’ve watched every single one. But no matter how many times we re-watch the movies, it always leaves us with that feel-good feeling. Hallmark movies have that power to leave you in the Christmas spirit.
That doesn’t mean that these movies aren’t cringey and so cheesy that it’s hard to look at the screen… because they are. They are full of cringey moments and scenes that make you want to shove your face in a pillow and scream, but they are so worth it. They make you feel light-hearted and as if Christmas is really special and full of happiness.
Christmas is one of my favourite holidays and it makes the darkness of December seem so much lighter. It’s a time that, for me, is full of family and celebrating and spending time with my loved ones. These are all traits that appear in almost every Hallmark movie ever filmed. They almost always follow the path of someone who hates Christmas but ends up finding someone who changes their heart and makes them love again. It’s all very unrealistic, but it’s the kind of light-hearted romantic film that everyone needs in their life. They are films with almost no depth, but ones that you can watch at the end of a long day when all you need to do is relax and stop thinking.
If you’re looking for a care-free and spirit-filled Christmas film, just Google any Hallmark movie. Even though they are rarely well-produced movies, they always have endless amounts of cheer and can boost your mood in just a few moments of watching.
For me, Hallmark Christmas movies are a big part of a tradition that my mother and I follow every year, but that doesn’t stop me from encouraging others to watch these light-hearted films. The films, full of the Christmas Spirit, are always capable of making you leaving your room feeling better, even if the level of reality is very far-fetched. This is why I feel that they are 100 per cent a necessity for Christmas, and make December a very holly jolly month! I recommend indulging yourself in some extra cheer this year, and I promise you won’t regret it!
Happy December and I hope you have a Merry Christmas! 😊
