Watch These 10 Movies Before The 25th

If you haven't been spending your nights cuddled in a blanket cocoon and sipping hot chocolate while watching ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas then you've been doing December wrong. Now that winter break is fast approaching you'll have time to catch up on all of the best Christmas movies that you may have missed. So grab some candy, candy canes, candy corns, and syrup and watch these movies before December 25th.

10. "The Polar Express"


A young boy takes an extraordinary train ride to the North Pole and learns to believe in Santa all over again. If you like your Christmas movies with a touch of sadness and catchy songs about hot chocolate then this movie is perfect for you.

9. "Die Hard"

I know what you're thinking and, yes, this definitely is a Christmas movie. New York City policeman John McClane travels to California to visit his estranged wife on Christmas Eve. When her office is taken over by a group of terrorists during the annual Christmas party, he quickly realizes that he is the only one that can save them all. If you're more into action than a touching holiday story then this one's for you.

8. "Arthur Christmas"

When a young girl's Christmas present doesn't make it to Santa's Sleigh on Christmas Eve, Santa's youngest son Arthur takes it upon himself to make sure that she gets the present before Christmas morning. If you're looking for something to watch with your younger siblings that you'll actually like too then this movie is a safe choice.

7. "A Christmas Story"

This film follows Ralphie, a nine year old boy whose only Christmas wish is for a Red Ryder Carbine Action 200-shot Range Model Air Rifle despite the warnings from seemingly every adult in his life that he'll "shoot his eye out." If you're hoping to see this one then it will be marathoning on TBS from 8:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve until 8:00 p.m. on Christmas day.

6. "A Charlie Brown Christmas"

This classic Christmas special revolves around the Peanuts characters who we all know and love. It would not be Christmas without sitting down to watch Charlie Brown and the whole gang learn about the true meaning of Christmas.

5. "White Christmas"

Another classic Christmas movie that cannot be missed is Irving Berlin's "White Christmas." This movie follows two war buddies turned singing act, Bob Wallace and Phil Davis, as they join sisters Betty and Judy Haynes in performing a Christmas show in Vermont. The beautiful singing and dancing is enough to put anyone in the Christmas spirit.

4. "The Santa Clause"

After accidentally "killing" Santa, a divorced dad named Scott must take on the role of the man in the red suit. This adorable film is perfect for the whole family.

3. "Love Actually"

This charming romantic comedy follows nine separate, but intertwined, stories dealing with the concept of love. This is a movie that will leave you laughing and crying and you'll love every second of it.

2. "Home Alone"

A child named Kevin wishes that he had no family the night before a trip to Paris. He wakes up the next day to an empty house and realizes that his wish came true as his whole family boarded the flight to Paris without him. He thinks that he's living the life until he needs to protect his home from some hilarious burglars. No matter how old you are, this is a move that you'll enjoy.

1. "Elf"

The number one movie that you can't miss before Christmas is "Elf." This film follows Buddy, a human raised as an elf, as he travels to New York to find his Scrooge-esque biological father. It's a hilarious must-see that can turn any Scrooge into a Christmas-lover.

So, there you have it: 10 great movies about the best time of the year. Grab a friend or your whole family and watch these favorites before the Christmas Season is officially over.

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.

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.
