Anti-Christmas Movies

During the Christmas season, not everyone is into watching warm and fuzzy Christmas movies.

Christmas movies are generally well-loved by many, but some people dislike them for a variety of reasons.

Many Christmas films are highly emotional, which can feel overly cheesy or unrealistic to those who prefer more nuanced or less sentimental storytelling.

Some people feel that Christmas movies contribute to the commercialization of the holiday, focusing on gift-giving, materialism, or idealized holiday aesthetics rather than meaningful traditions or personal connections.

From hostingadvice.com -

"Rather than drowning in the syrupy sentiment of films such as It’s a Wonderful Life, Elf, The Polar Express, or Miracle on 34th Street, some of us are choosing to have a dark Christmas instead of a white one.

We surveyed 3,000 Americans to find out what their favorite ‘anti-Christmas’ movie to stream over the festive season is, whether it’s an outright horror flick or even something vaguely festive but not too feel-good."
