London based aspiring old slut. Lazy but calling it ‘bulking’… Have morphed into a Christmas fairy for the season. You’re welcome
Movie 85: Christmas at Plumhill Manor.

She’s an American (🤮) and he’s the son of the old gardener of the house that she inherits. He’s a kind of budget Chris Evans type but it gets her knickers wagging. I would have pushed the Scottish housekeeper into the moat.

⛄️⛄️⛄️/5 much of the plot was spare

Movie 84: A Timeless Christmas

It’s 1905, he buys some cursed Christmas clock and gets transported to the modern era. I think he spent most of the film slagging off his 1905 rival but I fell asleep.

⛄️/5 literally no idea what happened

Movie 83: Christmas at the Plaza

She talks like every word is a surprise. The word that surprised us was Finial D’arbre. She’s using her four degrees to study tree-toppers.

He’s the hotel handyman, he puts her lights up after her blatantly gay boyfriend leaves her.

⛄️⛄️⛄️/5 not terrible

Movie 82: On the 12th date of Christmas.

She’s a small town girl moved to the city, he’s in her office. She realises she can get ahead on the strength of her work rather than bribing her boss with cookies.

She has to do group work with him, and you know the rest.

⛄️⛄️/5 as if he was single

Movie 81: Destination Christmas

This was re-titled ‘Single and ready to jingle’

She’s a toy maker, her PA books her a flight to Alaska and not the Caribbean. He’s the first single man she meets at the airport and she stays at his lesbian sister’s Christmas themed guest house.

⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️/5 loved it

Movie 80: Unforgettable Christmas.

He’s a fashion designer, she’s a princess with a flair for fashion. She gets a knock on the head and forgets everything except fashion and wheedles her way into the atelier as Adele the admin. The real Adele never shows, I assume she’s dead.

⛄️/5 forgettable

Movie 79: Angel Falls Christmas

Don’t confuse this with Christmas at Angel Falls: different film

She’s a dead-eyed doctor, he’s neurotic and dumps her under a pair of Christmas trees. The tree toppers come to life and it’s a wonderful life her to see the meaning of Christmas. In a rollneck.

Movie 78: Christmas Under the Northern Lights.

For literally no reason she goes back to the top of Canada with her dad, who was weirdly husband-ish for the first scene…

They hire the local testosterone to see the northern lights and you know exactly what happened next.

⛄️⛄️/5 something about bells

Movie 67: Renovation Romance

A couple does a tv show helping couples and also doing home renovations. The little Christmas
Homewreckers split up the couple they’re helping.

All the women in this have massive heads and tiny bodies.

⛄️/5 I fell asleep

Movie 76: Haul out the Holly LIT UP.

They did a sequel, funnier but still bad. They used the Angela Landsbury version of the opening song.

New family moves next door, they’re Christmas over-achievers which causes a whohar on the street.

Pompoms are jocular. Older Daniel Meade is in it

Movie 75: Haul out the Holly

She got dumped so moved back to her parents. The parents are people who do Christmas so much they had psychopathic home owner association rules around Christmas decor, sucking the joy out of Christmas.

She pulls the psychotic architect next door. Blah blah

⛄️⛄️/5 meh
November 18, 2025 at 9:19 PM
Movie 74: A merry little ex-mas

Alicia Silverstone pulled the fit one from The Other Paris at a Christmas tree farm to get back at her nearly-ex husband. But it’s ok, her solar batteries save Christmas.

Christmas tree guy also works as a stripper.

⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️/5 more strippers please

Movie 73: A Cinderella Christmas Ball

Dead mother.

Randomly her dance class sends her to Havanshire which is obviously a random European country.

He’s a prince and has to choose a bride on Christmas Eve and Hair’n’Make-up gave him a yellow face 🤷🏼‍♂️

You know the plot.

⛄️⛄️/5 very silly

Movie 72 - Operation Mistletoe

Dead grandmother

He’s back in town to sell the dead grandmothers house after he put her in a home 5 years ago, they weren’t childhood sweethearts.

Her demented sister in law puts mistletoe everywhere to try and make them kiss ,probably poisoning herself

The first Christmas film of the season has just gone on. It’s far too early and so far it’s a stinker…

Movie 71. The Muppets Christmas Carol

Dead Marleys

It’s not Christmas if you’ve not watched it. Surprisingly dark but us children of the 90s thought nothing of it at the time.

Movie 70. A Castle for Christmas

Dead father.

She’s a best selling author who gets divorced and goes to visit her Scottish roots. He’s a duke who lives in the castle her family used to work at.

Don’t go to Dunbar expecting it to look like this film.

☃️☃️☃️☃️/5 baffling

Movie 69. A Charlie Brown Christmas.

It counts, and as Lucy is my Spirit Animal. I will fight anyone who disagrees

Movie 68. 1000 miles from Christmas / 1000km de Navidad

He’s a Christmas hating auditor sent to a factory just before Christmas, she’s trying to get into the record books with an enormous live action nativity.

I watched the English dub, but will watch with subs next time. Loved it!

Movie 67. Christmas Prince 3 - The Royal Baby

After a year of marriage Queen Amber is up the duff and in true Netflicks Christmas Universe Lore something constitutionally important happens on Christmas Eve.

This time renewing a peace treaty with the country next door.

Insanity ☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️/5

Movie 66. The Grinch

Dead inside.

I understand the grinch, we have the same hair and a similar outlook in life. Will he stay strong in the face of the grating Whopeople or be indoctrinated by them and drink the Coolaid?

☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️/5 Angela Lansbury and a horny cow

Movie 65. The Christmas Thief

She’s a wannabe Private Investigator, he’s an actual cop and they end up working the same case. Not wanting to spoil, but the Poinsettia Delivery Man is prime suspect.

At one stage it’s as if the sound man was off sick and they filmed anyway.

☃️/5 terrible
December 23, 2024 at 11:50 PM
Movie 64: Carry-on

This isn’t a Carry On film, light on the innuendo. This also isn’t really a Christmas Film… it’s a bit light on the Christmas, other than being set on the LA Christmas getaway day (assume this is Christmas Eve as time off is illegal in America)

☃️☃️☃️☃️/5 felt like seen it before
