We know that you want to spend the last month of the year by watching movies under your soft blanket, baking gingerbread cookies (or making gingerbread houses!), standing by a cosy fireplace, etc., just to feel good after a long year. We get you; everybody wants to do these. But when it comes to picking a movie to watch in your cosy area, things get harder. You can never decide what to watch, and finally, after a decision, you begin to watch the movie and realise that you made a bad choice and the movie seems a bit off. At that point, we’re here to help you. We compiled movies that may cheer you up. Some of them are the old but gold ones, while some of them are recently added ones, and we believe that they’re all decent to watch. We hope that you all enjoy watching these movies.
