5 Amazing TV Christmas Movies You Should Check Out

With Thanksgiving approaching us faster than ever, and radio stations getting in gear for non-stop Christmas music, I can't help but get excited for the upcoming holiday season a.k.a. my favorite time of year. Like many, ABC Family/Freeform's "25 Days of Christmas" marathon is always something I look forward to each and every year. For those of you crazy people who don't know what that is, the "25 Days of Christmas" marathon comprises of non-stop Christmas-related tv shows and movies leading up to the actual day of Christmas (accompanied in the mix are the Harry Potter movies...which is still something that perplexes me each and every year).

During the month of December, after "successfully" accomplishing each daunting day of school, I usually reward myself by sitting down and watching some Christmas-related movie whether it's on TV or on demand right before I go to sleep. Whether it's the classic clay animation movies like "A Year Without a Santa Claus" or more modern, cheesier ABC Family generated movies like "Christmas Cupid," I look forward to watching Christmas inspired movies each and every day.

I remember watching this movie back in 2007 when it first aired. Even though the plot is a tad cheesy and somewhat unrealistic, it is undeniably one of my favorite holiday movies to watch every year.

2. The Polar Express

This is probably a fan favorite for many people. There's something so cute and mysterious about this movie that really draws me to it. I love the whole concept to it and I think it's without a doubt a holiday staple from the past decade.

3. Santa Baby

This is another ABC Family original movie, however, unlike many other original movies, this one got a sequel which is equally as entertaining. I think the concept of Santa having a daughter is something that you don't really find in many holiday movies. This one is wittingly clever and hands down one of my favorites.

4. Elf

Definitely one of the more overrated Christmas movies, but I can't help loving it. Although, through the years, the movie has somewhat lost it's charm, it's still one that I must watch every year or the holiday season will be incomplete.

5. Snowglobe

This is another ABC Family original movie and the concept is very imaginative. It focuses on a girl who receives a magical snow globe in the mail and each night she wakes up inside the snow globe in a town that is fixated on celebrating Christmas every single day. It's definitely one of my favorite Christmas movies out there.

Honorable mentions: Christmas With The Kranks and The Santa Clause movies.

So, if you're like me, and you find pure joy out of watching different Christmas movies every day leading up to the holiday, then hopefully you'll check out the 5 movies I've featured above. You will not regret watching any single one of them!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
