No Home Alone, no Elf, no It’s a Wonderful Life. Instead, we’ve gone digging a little deeper into the Christmas vault… well, Dale and Dan did. Rachael brings The Holiday — one of her all-time festive favourites — in a bold attempt to convert notorious The Holiday hater Dan. Can she finally thaw his icy heart, or will this one end up on his seasonal naughty list? Dan, fresh off Halloween fever and still riding the wave of our 80s film draft, opts for Gremlins. Is it a Christmas movie? Yes. Is it also mildly traumatising? Also yes. Meanwhile, Dale goes deep with Jack Frost. Yes, that Michael Keaton one. You know, where he dies and comes back as a snowman... Seriously. Join us as we revisit these slightly obscure Christmas picks and ask the all-important question: do any of them deserve a permanent place in your yearly Christmas movie rotation? Hot takes, festive chaos, and an extremely questionable snowman await. Which theme do you want to see us tackle next? What's a film you'd bring to the table for this theme? Let us know!
