5 Christmas Movies That Will Set The Perfect Holiday Mood In Any Home Around The World

Christmas is just a week away and most are busy shopping or preparing for the holidays. For others, however, it is about finding the proper mindset to enjoy the Yuletide season.

With the COVID-19 issue still in the air, made worse by the rising Omicron threat, the last thing that people would want is to deal with the virus on Christmas Day. Hence, a good way to avoid that is to stay indoors or at least limit going outdoors.

In the next seven days, one thing that folks may want to do is watch some old Christmas films to get into the Christmas move. Here are five iconic films that may be old but are still worth watching.

1. Home Alone 1 and 2

Who could ever forget Macaulay Culkin in these films that can truly set the holiday mood? Created by John Hughes and directed by Chris Columbus, Culkin portrays Kevin McCallister who finds a way to separate himself from his family while going on vacation.

But along the way, he deals with a couple of crooks in Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern for some added humor. It is a movie that just never dies.
