Whether you’re spending it alone or with family, watching a good movie should be a Christmas tradition. If you need help deciding what to watch, here’s a list of some old and new movies that are perfect for the season.
Home Alone
What kind of list would this be if we didn’t bring back this classic? The 1990 Christmas classic was so good that the producers kept going with five installations! Home Alone is one of those movies that never get boring.

This Nigerian Christmas movie quickly became a favourite after its release in 2021. This Kunle Afolayan movie is an easy watch and stars Kunle Remi, Efa Iwara, Linda Osifo, Abayomi Alvin, the Late Rachel Oniga, and many others. ‘A Naija Christmas’ has quite a high re-watch value, and we definitely recommend you add it to your watch list.
