Christmas Movies!

It is December and we all know what is coming: Christmas. Whether you are a kid giddy for presents under the tree, or a parent dreading having to wake up at 4 am, we are all aware that Christmas is approaching, slowly but surely. Of course, what would Christmas be without a nice movie to keep you entertained for hours? In my opinion, nothing brings people together like watching a movie, and Christmas is all about getting together. Today, we will be going over some of the most iconic Christmas movies as well as some that are not as popular but are just as good. Without further ado, behold, must-watch Christmas movies! 

1. Home Alone Series

Absolutely one of the most classic series, these movies are masterpieces. Their fun-filled stories carry deep messages, appealing both to the young and old. Their ability to create laughter and a great mood is unparalleled, and the way that they loosen the atmosphere is amazing. In fact, when one thinks of a Christmas movie, their brain almost always jumps to these movies. The fact that this movie kept me laughing nonstop at two robbers being tricked by a kid for 10 minutes straight is very, very impressive

2. Krampus

Now if you are looking for a different twist on the generic Christmas movie, this one is great. Labeled as a Horror movie, this movie certainly lives up to its rating. Do be aware that this movie is rated PG-13, however. Throughout the film, there are some frightening scenes and just a little bit of blood. Definitely not recommended for young children. However, this is a very interesting film, telling us all about the monster on the dark side of Christmas Who will come for you this December 25th? You better hope that it’s Santa and not this guy.

3. Daddy’s Home Series

Now this is a series that never fails to bring a smile to my face. These movies about family drama can always make me laugh. Although I haven’t watched all of these movies, I can certainly confirm that they are worth watching. Do keep in mind that this isn’t as child-friendly as Home Alone, containing lots of profanity and some scenes not necessarily PG. However, there is a serious problem with these movies, and that is that there are not enough dad jokes! How can there be 2 fathers in the movies and so few dad jokes? 

4. Elf

Who hasn’t heard of this one? This film is so popular that even though it was made in 2003, it is still being shown in theaters! This movie is entertaining and family-friendly, and I can never get sick of rewatching it. The adventures of Buddy the Elf will never cease to make me and my family laugh. The messages that this movie conveys about family and Christmas carry deep meanings, giving it the perfect balance of humor and story. In short, this is the perfect movie. It is simply impossible to go wrong with watching it.

And that, my friends, is the end of this short list. However, this doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of the world of Christmas movies. With more and more coming out every year, I have a feeling that Christmas is going to be great this year. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everybody!

Simone Ispahani

Founder of Social Brew

Simone Ispahani became acquainted with the world at an early age having grown up in Colorado, the Netherlands, Australia and Hawaii. Simone eventually made her way to Los Angeles, where she attended Biola University, graduating with a degree in Sociology with an emphasis in Criminal Justice and a minor in Biblical Studies. Being biracial and growing up around a diverse array of cultures, Simone was gifted with a unique understanding of the world and a deep seeded desire to help humanity. In college, she first learned about the issue of human trafficking when an expert speaker on modern day slavery challenged her to join the fight. With a newfound perspective, she started to learn as much as she could about the issue eventually leading her to launch Social Brew in October of 2021. Social Brew is an e-commerce coffee company which donates 50% of profits between two non-profit partners to aid in the fight against human trafficking. Simone’s greatest hope for Social Brew is to cultivate a community that creates a place where trafficking victims are seen, known, loved, and given practical tools that help them take back their lives. In her free time, Simone enjoys sipping coffee at one of her favorite local spots in Santa Monica. She also likes hanging out with her senior dog, Max, painting, baking to feed her sweet tooth, listening to vintage vinyl recordings, and spending time with family and friends.

Austen Brantley

Self-Taught Sculptor

Austen Brantley is a self-taught sculptor from Detroit, Michigan. He discovered his affinity for sculpting during his junior year at Berkley High School. There, Brantley was inspired and encouraged by his ceramics teacher, who saw Austen’s talent for molding beauty from the clay. After only two years, Brantley began receiving local and statewide recognition. Seeking to hone his craft, Austen has proudly worked as a full-time professional artist since 2014. His work has been presented across the country in numerous solo and group exhibitions including two upcoming 2024 shows: Wounds, solo show at M Contemporary, Detroit, MI (August/September); and TBD two-person exhibition at Indy Art Center, Indianapolis, IN (September/December). As Brantley continues to live and work in Detroit, he has dedicated his career to creating a legacy for future generations. An essential step toward this goal has been his public commissions, including his most recent bronze unveiling: a memorial commemorating the Tuskegee Airmen of World War II for the Office of the City of Detroit. At the same time, Austen completed a larger-than-life design for the new Freedom Monument Sculpture Park at the Legacy Museum in Montgomery, Alabama. He is the recipient of multiple awards, including the prestigious Kresge Arts Fellowship in Detroit last year. Austen aims to provide young people with the opportunity to see themselves reflected in art while also subverting the stereotype of toxic Blackness. A powerful representation of the resilience and strength, each artwork and exhibition hopes to reflect shared experience and challenges his onlookers to seek peace, honor, and excellence.
