A Clüsterfünke Christmas | Comedy | 1h 27m

Bad Santa | Comedy/Drama | 1h 31m
Most malls have a Santa at Christmas but Willie Soke is not one who cares if you’ve been naughty or nice. This Santa, along with the help of his main elf, would much rather be stealing from the department stores in the mall.

Edward Scissorhands | Fantasy/Romance | 1h 45m
Edward Scissorhands might not be everyone’s idea of a Christmas movie, but we think it qualifies, and we are not alone. Relive Tim Burton’s classic gothic tale of a man with scissors for hands who suddenly finds himself in a new community after living in isolation.
Miracle on 34th Street (1947)
It doesn’t get much more traditional than Miracle on 34th Street. This 1947 classic sees Kris Kringle having to prove he is the real Santa Claus in court.
Scrooge | Musical/Family | 1h 53m
In this traditional take on A Christmas Carol, miser Ebenezer Scrooge spends Christmas Eve being visited by some unexpected, and not always friendly, guests.

Tiny Christmas | Comedy/Adventure | 1h 30m
Two kids find they have been accidentally shrunk by a clumsy elf. With it already being Christmas Eve, the two mini-sized kids embark on the long journey back home … the house next door.
