Feeling the Holiday Blues? These 5 Christmas Movies Will Make It Worse

Not everyone is filled with that holiday spirit and ready to jingle those bells all the way. For some of us, Christmas is the perfect time to wrap up in a warm blanket and get all sentimental because we can.

Here are some perfect movies to go full blue this Christmas.

Last Christmas (2019)

A recent movie starring Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding may seem like your average rom-com until you get to the ending and that plot twist breaks your heart... but you know, in a festive and hopeful way.

A Christmas Tale (2008)

A poignant film follows a large family coming together to celebrate Christmas, only to discover that their mother has cancer. As the siblings are trying to wrap their heads around the shocking news, they also have to try to stop bickering about things they disagree on and finally resolve all the acute issues that have piled up over the years.

Christmas, Again (2014)

A perfect movie for those who can't seem to understand why everybody is so excited about the winter holidays — because who can understand you better than a heartbroken Christmas tree salesman who desperately wants to save himself from self-destruction?

Klaus (2019)

This animated movie by Netflix is a must-watch for those who are ready to handle the Santa Claus origin story that might be sadder than you'd expect. However, the journey full of sadness over never having a family and having to deal with feuds and lack of self-worthiness will have a happy ending — so this one's for you if you want to get sad for just a short amount of time.

It's a Wonderful Life (1947)

Just when you thought we will never get to the classics! Yes, it is a synonym of a Christmas classic, and it might be almost a century old; but the movie is also one of the few holiday seasonal wallpapers that are not overly cheerful but still provide catharsis that feels earned, and not just given like yet another Christmas miracle.
