The holidays are simply better when you have a good movie to watch. Whether you’re sipping hot cocoa, wrapping gifts, or simply looking for an excuse to stay in, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite movies to watch with your person, each one perfectly festive, heartwarming, and a little bit romantic.
Recommendations from your friends on West Lovers:
- The Holiday
The ultimate cozy love story. Two women swap homes, find themselves, and stumble into love, all against a backdrop of English cottages, snowy roads, and twinkling lights. It’s equal parts charming and cinematic (and we’ll never get over Jude Law’s “Mr. Napkin Head” scene). - Four Christmases
Chaos, comedy, and family dysfunction in full holiday form. Sometimes love looks like surviving four family gatherings in one day and doing it together! - Meet Me in St. Louis
A vintage classic that feels like a warm hug. Judy Garland, timeless music, and the kind of old-Hollywood romance that makes you nostalgic for Christmases you never even had. - Love Actually
Every kind of love, all in one movie. From grand gestures to quiet moments, it’s proof that love really is all around, especially at Christmas. - The Family Stone
A holiday house full of family chaos, laughter, and love in all its messy forms. It’s tender, real, and the perfect reminder that the holidays are about who’s around the table, not what’s under the tree.
