Get Ready For Christmas With These 12 Holiday Movies in English

According to a popular Christmas-themed movie called Love Actually “love is all around you” this Christmas Time. You can feel it in your fingers. You can feel it in your toes. You can feel it in the air. You can feel it everywhere. And that makes everything actually feel a bit more… special. What do you think?

Well with that being said, love is one of the important themes of this festive season. And there’s nothing better to do than to indulge yourself in a movie marathon that can make you feel warm and cozy and in love as if you’re sipping a nice cup of hot chocolate with three marshmallows and whipped cream on top. Hmm, how nice.

Quick tangent: If your target language is English then watching a movie or five (in English, of course) is a great supplement to your language lessons. This method will help enrich your language comprehension because this exposes you to conversational dialogue that native speakers use. When in doubt, if your language lesson needs an extra something-something, go ahead and watch a flick of your choice!
