‘Tis the season to be jolly, and everywhere you go, Christmas carols are playing – leaving you with lots of warm fuzzy feelings and countless reasons to celebrate the season. The holidays also mean there’s lots of time to bond with family and friends, and a feast or two or more. And one of the best activities for hanging out with everyone is watching a Christmas movie or two – with snacks and hot cocoa to boot.
Now all you need to do is log on to iflix, and start watching. Here are some feel-good Christmas movies to choose from:
NEW YEAR’S EVE (2011)

Michelle Pfeiffer, Sarah Jessica Parker, Halle Berry, Jessica Biel, Josh Duhamel, Zac Efron, Katherine Heigl, Ashton Kutcher, Hilary Swank and even Robert de Niro come together to tell how the stories of several couples and singletons in New York intertwine over the course of one New Year’s Eve.
FINDING NEVERLAND (2004)
This charming film narrates the life and times of author J.M. Barrie (Johnny Depp) that lead up to the creation of author’s most iconic work, Peter Pan. After Barrie develops a platonic relationship with the young widow Sylvia (a fitting role for Kate Winslet) and her four sons, he is inspired to write a play about a group of children who don’t want to grow up. The work is a hit with its audience, and brings Barrie and the children together in a way he had never expected.
