Holiday Movie List

Sharing my holiday movie list for your viewing pleasure.

(Click here for this year’s holiday shop)

 

Last month, I watched Father of the Bride for the very first time! I didn’t grow up watching movies and never really got into movies as an adult. “I’m not a movie person,” I declared to Brian. But after watching FOTB and LOVING it, something clicked.  Perhaps, I haven’t been watching the right movies!

I shared my FOTB moment on my Instagram stories and hundreds of messages flooded in with classic movie recommendations! Cue all the Nancy Meyers references. Can you believe that I had no idea who she was before this?!  Simultaneously, I had messages from others who wanted me to share the movie list because they, too, felt the same as I did towards movies.  Thank you to everyone for making holiday movie nights a thing for me. If you’re looking for some good holiday movie recommendations, see the list below.
