For the whole Family:
A Christmas Price – the royal wedding
If you enjoyed A Christmas Price last year then you will want to find out what happened next in this feel-good family sequel. Suitable for ages 7 and up.
The Christmas Chronicles
This fun and modern Christmas story sees a brother and sister accidentally crash Santa’s sleigh and then pull an all-nighter trying to save the night, and Christmas. Suitable for ages 7 and up, the whole family should enjoy this one.
A Wish for Christmas
This Romantic Christmas movie stars a hard-working young woman named Sarah, who has to find the courage to stand up for herself after her boss steals her winning idea. Luckily Santa is around to help with some Christmas magic. All ages.
Free Rein – the 12 neighs of Christmas
A must-see for horse-enthusiasts, young and old. This one will hit our South African screens on the 7th of December. It involves family secrets, glittering mistletoe balls and of course, plenty of horses.
Animation for the whole family:
Polar Express
This is a beautifully animated feel-good family Christmas adventure, featuring a young boy whose faith in the holiday spirit is restored when he makes a long train journey to the North Pole on Christmas Eve. Featuring Tom Hanks and Nona Gaye.
Shrek the Halls
Our favourite Dreamworks charater, Shrek, is back with the whole family for some grumbling Christmas fun. Watch our grudging hero come to terms with the merriment and joy of the holidays as only an ogre can.
Angela’s Christmas
Angela’s family trip to church on Christmas eve inspires her to do something extraordinary. This heartwarming tale will have the little ones smiling and remind them what Christmas is supposed to be all about.
For the Grown-Ups:
A Very Murray Christmas
Bill Murray rounds up an all-star cast for a Christmassy evening of music and mischief in this irreverent twist on holiday variety shows. Not for the little kids – this one is suitable for ages 13 and up.
Four Christmases
In this hilariously realistic Christmas movie, a new young couple struggles to get through visiting all four sets of divorced parents during their first Christmas together. Ages 13 and up.
The Night Before
This one is for the less-Christmas inclined adults. In this hilarious, and rather inappropriate, Christmas “dude” movie, three best friends decide to end their annual tradition of wild holiday partying, with just one last crazy Christmas eve in New York. Needless to say, things don’t quite go according to plan. Ages 16 and up.
