'Tis the season because it's finally winter break! The last few months have been filled with tailgate season, wild parties, all-nighters spent at the library, unhealthy eating, an insufficient amount of sleep, and endless amounts of homework and stress. But hey, you're here and you made it to the light at the end of the tunnel: winter break.
When college students start college, they anticipate all the fun times and crazy memories that come with college, but they also look forward to walking out of their last final and going home for the holidays.
While college students are excited to go home for winter break, the same thing happens every year: they run out of things to do. In the time leading up to Christmas and New Years, there are only so many shopping trips and lunch dates you can have with your friends from home before you get bored. No need to worry, because I have you covered.
Who doesn't want to spend winter break at home, relaxing, wearing your pajamas, drinking hot chocolate, and watching movies with your family and friends? In case you're in need of some movie inspiration, here are 20 must-see movies (not in any specific order) to watch over winter break, or anytime of year, because who doesn't want to watch Christmas movies all year?
1. "The Santa Clause"
2. "The Santa Clause 2"
3. "The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause"
4. "Elf"

Comprised of quite a few classics, movies you wouldn't expect, and a series, the best way to spend your winter break is by relaxing with a cup of hot chocolate, wearing your pajamas, and watching Christmas movies with your family and friends.
'Tis the season!
