Do you feel that? The crisp breeze in the air? Can you smell the sharp scent of pine cones and evergreen trees? It’s (nearly) the holiday season, so hoop-de-do! In our opinions, it’s never too early to start watching festive films and spirited specials—there are way too many classics and new holiday movies combined to get through in just December alone. Our suggestion: Start in November. Now. Get cracking.
If you thought there weren’t any new classics headed to the Christmas movie canon this year, you’re wrong. There are so many on the way!
A Christmas Carol will be rebooted approximately 87 times this year, making it the Pinocchio of the Christmas season this year—both seem to have been rebooted over and over again in the Year of Our Lord 2022. Psych, there are only three: Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds’ take on the classic will come with Apple TV+’s Spirited; Netflix will release an animated version; and the terribly hilarious (or hilariously terrible?) A Christmas Karen will grace our screens with a blessed chorus of “Can I Speak to Your Manager?”
