The Traditions That Play on Repeat

There’s something about classic Christmas movies that just hits different. No matter how many streaming options we have or how busy December gets, the classics still find their way onto our TVs every year.

These are the movies that signal the start of the season. They’re on in the background while the tree goes up, while cookies are baking, and while someone in the house says, “I’ve already seen this,” but somehow sits down and watches the whole thing anyway. You know the lines. You know the scenes. You still laugh. You still get a little sentimental.

Around here, these movies aren’t just entertainment. They’re a tradition. They’re what play while lights are untangled, ornaments are argued over, and everyone claims they’re done shopping even though nobody really is. They’re the familiar comfort that shows up every December right on time.

Some classics lean heavily on humor. Others bring the nostalgia. A few spark-friendly debates about whether they really count as Christmas movies at all. (Die Hard absolutely IS a Christmas movie.) And honestly, that argument might be half the fun.

So now we want to know. When December rolls around, and you’re flipping through the channels or opening your favorite app, which classic Christmas movie do you put on first? Shoot us an email to [email protected]. We want to know.

It’s Party Time

Holiday season is officially party season. From office blowouts to New Year’s Eve extravaganzas, your social life is booked. But no party is complete without a 360 photo booth. If it’s not spinning, filming, and making everyone look cooler than they actually are, what are we even doing?
