Inspired by the arrival of  Family Guy 's take on the infamous  Hallmark  Christmas movie, I thought I'd do what everybody else has already done; rank all of the show's Christmas episodes. Back in the day I was quite an avid viewer of this crazy cartoon. Somewhere around that last  Star Wars  episode  ( It's a Trap! ), however,  something changed. That comedic edge was somehow lost. Maybe the show had simply peaked. Who knows? But from that point on, Family Guy  no longer seemed as clever, or funny.  That said, on the odd occasion the Griffins have been known to bring a little festive cheer to their mad world. So, in the spirit of the holiday, I decided to watch all the Christmas episodes to see which ones are the most festive.   It's December. Every day is dark and cold! What else was I going to do? ︌ 13 The Return of the King (of Queens) We begin with an episode that isn't particularly festive. In fact, this could easily have not ...

Here we go again! The jolliest of holidays, the most festive of festivities, is back to haunt us. Yep, it's Christmas. Which means it's time to do all that stuff we love to do around the holidays. Putting up trees and decorations. Wrapping presents. Oh, and my personal favourite... enduring the same shitty Christmas music over and over. Although I am loving all the Mariah Carey memes, this year. But on a more serious note; there are radio stations dedicated to Christmas music, and some of them have been live since September! Who the hell is listening to Christmas music in September?! However, it's not all bad. There's usually copious amounts of delicious food to consume, and some excellent movies to be watched. Often times, you can combine the two. How many Christmases have been saved by a good movie and/or some tasty food? I don't know if it has saved Christmas 2025, but before writing this I watched Planes, Trains & Automobiles . Not exactly a Christmas film, ...

We're sticking with the festive theme for our Lockdown Streaming Survival Guide with "Noelle"; a Christmas movie that hit Disney+ in the US last year but has only recently reached European shores. And yes the lockdown may have ended here in the UK, but with the Tier system back in place, did it ever really end? Regardless, we shall be continuing our Moustache Lockdown (Not Lockdown) Streaming Survival Guide for the foreseeable future. As always you can find all of the other entries in our Streaming Survival Guide by clicking here .  After Santa Claus (Jay Brazeau) passes away, the role is passed down to his son Nick (Bill Hader). But when his training doesn't go well, it becomes clear that Nick isn't exactly ecstatic about his new job, so his sister Noelle (Anna Kendrick) suggests he take the weekend off and get away from it all. The only problem is; Nick doesn't come back. Now, with the fate of Christmas in jeopardy, and cousin Gabe's (Billy Eichner) tech...

  It may only be November, but Disney is wasting no time in getting the festive ball rolling - much like everyone else. So for the latest instalment of our Lockdown Streaming Survival Guide I took a look at the 'Lego Star Wars Holiday Special' on Disney+. Don't forget to check out the rest of our guide, you can find all of the other entries by clicking here . After the defeat of the First Order, Rey and her friends are looking forward to their first Life Day celebration together. But Rey is struggling to teach Finn in the ways of the force, and a chance discovery in the 'Sacred Jedi Texts' sends her in search of a lost Jedi temple, which contains "a key to the galaxy's past". Something she hopes might aid in the training of her padawan. All the while the rest of the gang prepare for the big party. Given the notoriety of the original Star Wars Holiday Special, you'd figure even mentioning the words "holiday" and "special" in the ...

Santa Claus is missing, and the evil Krampus has taken over his workshop. The only person who can save Christmas is a young orphan boy named Julius. But can he do it before every child wakes up to a lump of coal in their stocking? If you're looking for a fun, family movie this Christmas, "Finding Santa: A Christmas Story" could be just what you're looking for.

But Julius (Herman Knop) isn't alone, he has help in the form of a fairy called Safina (Maria Lucia Rosenberg), and a giant, talking pig named Herman (Lars Hjortshøi).

This magical world where Christmas is under threat, has been brought to life by a great voice cast and some wonderfully quirky animation...

'Tis the season to be jolly, which means lots of tinsel, wrapping paper, empty bank accounts and the same damn Christmas music playing over and over. But it also means we have the perfect excuse to watch Die Hard - the ULTIMATE Christmas movie - as many times as we want. It's my pick for Best Christmas Movie in the latest LAMBracket from The Large Association of Movie Blogs, and I need your help. You can vote for it over at the LAMB's website , or on Facebook , Instagram and Twitter . Now many of you are probably thinking; Die Hard? That's not a Christmas movie! Well respectfully, you're wrong. I don't think Die Hard could get any more Christmassy. For one thing, it's on TV every December. The story takes place during a party on Christmas Eve. There's plenty of decorations, trees and music, not to mention the most inventive use of Christmas tape the world has ever seen. Our hero even sends his enemies a heart-warming Christmas message, ...
