Once Upon a Deadpool (2018)
Now, if you're looking for something a little more... mature, check out Once Upon a Deadpool (2018). This is a PG-13 cut of Deadpool 2, with all the violence and language replaced with Christmas cheer and a new narrative framing device. Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) tells the story of Freddie Mercury to a captive Colossus, with plenty of hilarious detours and fourth-wall breaks along the way.
It's a fun, irreverent take on the holiday movie genre, perfect for those who want to inject some snark into their Christmas viewing.
The Christmas Chronicles (2018)
Netflix's The Christmas Chronicles (2018) is a modern-day Christmas classic in the making. Directed by Clay Kaytis, this film follows siblings Kate (Darby Camp) and Teddy Pierce (Judah Lewis) as they hatch a plan to catch Santa Claus (Kurt Russell) on camera. Their scheme goes awry, and they end up helping Santa save Christmas after a mishap causes him to lose his magical bag.
With its charming performances, enchanting visuals, and a Kurt Russell as a delightfully roguish Santa, The Christmas Chronicles is a must-watch for the whole family.
Holmes & Watson (2018)
If you're in the mood for something a little more... eccentric, give Holmes & Watson (2018) a try. This comedic take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's iconic characters sees Sherlock Holmes (Will Ferrell) and Dr. John Watson (John C. Reilly) on the case of a Christmas murder at Buckingham Palace. With a plot that's as twisted as a Christmas lights display, and performances that are as over-the-top as a Christmas tree topper, Holmes & Watson is a hilarious, if not entirely coherent, addition to the holiday movie landscape.
