Sappy Christmas Movies Including Ratings
I don’t celebrate Christmas, I am Jewish, so Happy Hanukkah! But I do watch my fair share of sappy Christmas movies. If they made sappy Hanukkah Movies, I would watch them. But I’ve really only seen Rugrats and Adam Sandler Hanukkah movies. Which are funny, but they don’t make me cry and roll my eyes all at the same time. And yes, I do cry in almost every Christmas movie I watch. I cry in all movies actually, so no movie is special. I am pretty sure it’s the music that gets me. Crazy Rich Asians during the weddings when the girl walks down the aisle, gets me every time.
Anyways I figured why not make a list of all the sappy Christmas Movies I will be watching this year. I haven’t hit Hallmark sappy yet, but I might watch one just to see what all the buzz is about.
Here’s my list of Sappy Christmas Movies I will be watching this year:
A Christmas Castle with Brooke Shields. I just logged on to Netflix and it’s ranked #5 in the country. So it must be good. Also, I haven’t seen Brooke Shields act since Hannah Montana. So that’s exciting
Sappy Rating: unknown
2. Holidate with Emma Roberts. I watched this last year and I loved it! I don’t eye roll in it, but I think it’s so funny and you can watch it all year long!
Sappy rating: 1. It’s not that bad.
3. The Christmas Prince. I love this whole series! It’s like the Christmas version of every girl's dream. A prince falling in love with you? I think yes!
Sappy rating: 3. I love the first one! I always shed a tear or two
4. The Princess Switch with Vanessa Hughnes. They just came out with a third one. So you know I have to watch the other two to prepare for the third. She also played like 3 people in the second one. This didn’t make me cry, but I will still watch it because I grew up watching High School Musical
Sappy Rating: 1. I really don’t find this sappy I just feel obligated to watch
5. The Knight Before Christmas. Another Vanessa Hughnes movie. I watched this one with a friend this year and let me just say we talked through the whole movie. A knight from the past comes to the present-day on a quest I don’t know but it was pretty bad.
Sappy Rating: 0 no need for tissues.
6. Christmas Inheritance. Typical Christmas movie. A spoiled rich girl gets shipped off somewhere to discover the real meaning of Christmas. While discovering it, she falls in love. In this one, she finds out more about the past which I love.
Sappy Rating: 6. I love this movie but not because she falls in love. I love this movie because she gets the company in the end!
7. A Cinderella Story: Christmas Wish. LOVE! It’s a sappy Cinderella Story and a Christmas movie all wrapped in one. Plus it has Laura Marano and Gregg Sulkin! Cinderella + Christmas sappiness + Disney=
Sappy Rating: 5
8. Operation Christmas Drop: An uptight political aid is forced to go to a tropical Air-Force base to shut it down. They show her their Christmas traditions and how they make it feel like the holidays even when it doesn’t feel like Christmas. As I am currently experiencing that; Texas is 70 degrees and Virginia is 40. I know how hard it is to be in the holiday spirit when it just doesn’t feel like it.
Sappy Rating: 5
9. Christmas Cupid. Literally have seen this so many times I lost count. Ashley Benson is a party girl that passes away. She comes back to haunt her publicist and show her the past, present, and future. It’s basically Ghost of Girlfriends Past but flipped genders.
Sappy Rating: 4 is not too bad but still a cute movie.
10. A Christmas Kiss. An assistant and her boss’s boyfriend fall in love. Her boss was demanding and I guess her boyfriend found better. Plus Christmas.
Sappy Rating: 3
After living in Texas, I understand why people decorate their homes seasonally and go hard-core on the holiday festivities and decor. If you don’t, it just doesn't feel like the season. Movies are the escape to snowy winter wonderlands. It feels like the holidays.
So let’s all put on our sweaters and pajamas, drink some spiked hot chocolate, and bring on the holiday spirit via movies.
