Looking for a break from the usual holiday movie lineup? Our team has put together a list of our favorite comfort movies that offer a refreshing change of pace.

👯 It Takes Two (1995)

“The '90s were a gold mine for comedies and feel-good movies, and It Takes Two is one of such timeless pieces that are guaranteed to put a big smile on your face. And also the little Olsen twins!” – Marina

🕰 About Time (2013)

“It’s a perfect fit for the holidays, especially if you are a fan of Love Actually but want something different (it’s made by the same one and only director Richard Curtis). I can watch it over and over and never get tired of this beautiful story.” – Catherine

🧥 Anastasia (1997)

“This one can go with a fun challenge of singing along to the songs that you know (I always do!). It’s a great old-Disney fairy tale based in St. Pete – just please don’t treat it as fact.” – Catherine

🐻 Paddington (2014)

“This movie feels like a big warm hug! I recommend watching it with your family to adore the cutest bear in London, laugh at some unpretentious jokes, and shed a tear together.” – Elizaveta
