I love Christmas movies and I’ve been rating them as I watch on my Facebook profile. I’ve had some request to consolidate so people can see how the movies ranked. I’ve also added an extra notation if there’s LGBTQ+ content in the movie. So, here’s everything I’ve watched so far since holiday movie season began (for me it started on October 25). I’ll keep watching through New Year’s weekend.
I use a five tree (🎄) rating system and then add bonus stars (⭐️) if a movie went above and beyond. At the bottom, you’ll find the number of movies I didn’t finish.
This list is updated a final time on January 2. Christmas 2020 was an epic season for movies!

Did not finish: 7
No titles are given here. Christmas movies are very subjective and just because I didn’t like one doesn’t mean you won’t so I’m not going to allow my negative opinions to sway what you watch.
The Christmas Setup was the absolute best of the movies by far! So romantic and funny! I found myself smiling through the whole movie! I didn’t even realize the two men playing Hugo and Patrick were a couple until the end when I started googling to find out who they were!
It was such a delight! I hope it comes out on DVD so I can own a copy.
