Looking for something fun to watch this Christmas and add a burst of festive cheer to your holiday season? Then you might want to give the following movies ...

adaptation of – and improvement upon – the British series Murder in Successville takes a famous guest star and puts them in the middle of a murder mystery without giving them any details about the story or an actual script, leaving them to use their improvisational skills to make their way through the episode and figure out who the culprit actually is. While the overall trajectory of the story may be predictable, there are many little touches throughout the movie – from the details that pop up on Santa’s naughty list to the references to other films – that are guaranteed to deliver a chuckle. An elaborate team of afterlife spirits helps them find and research a perp and the ghosts then visit him (or her, as the case may be) on their annual Christmas haunt in the hopes of making him see the error of his ways. An excellent Harbour leads the cast, and a terrific Legui-zamo makes for a perfect antagonist. He’s cranky and he’s drunk and he’s tired of delivering cash and videogames to kids who have forgotten the real meaning of Christmas.

The screen critic: The ultimate Christmas movie list to watch with the ... (Starts at 60)

It's also one of many classics inspired by A Christmas Carol, the 1843 novella by Charles Dickens that just doesn't stop giving, with scores of adaptations.

As an entrée, snack on the snarky delights of Black Adder’s Christmas Carol (Stan), a 43-minute jape from 1988 that clocks in as one of the funniest, most subversive adaptations of the Charles Dickens story. Its surreal tale of a couple (Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman) whose marriage hits the rock is sprinkled with fairy lights, Christmas décor, and controversial sexual content. Or, for one of the most deranged takes on the Santa myth, try the 2010 Finnish action horror comedy Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (Prime, $4.99), which posits how Santa Claus isn’t a person, but a species. Remade in 2019, this underrated film actually set the tone for the new wave of Hollywood horror four years before Halloween took more credit than it deserved. After all, who else would pull off a multi-billion-dollar heist right in the middle of an office Christmas party? Some purists regard the film as a sappy, overly sweet rom-com but to quote Christopher Walken from another mid-tier Christmas film Batman Returns (Stan): “Have a heart. For the middle branches of the tree, you can’t ignore the comedy Christmas chestnut Love Actually (Stan; Binge), the multi-storied romantic charmer that has just turned 20. If anything, the giant legacy of this little film owes much to its humility – a key part of the Christmas spirit. The film’s appeal to Emo and Goth kids is boundless. Among the best are: Mickey’s Christmas Carol, a beautiful 26-minute 1983 cartoon; the digital animation with Jim Carrey; and, how could we neglect, The Muppet Christmas Carol (all on Disney+). And consider this: is villain Hans Gruber (the brilliant Alan Rickman) the ultimate Grinch? Tap “Christmas” into the search field of any streaming service and you’ll be deluged with a veritable blizzard of choices.
