The Christmas Movie Love Affair

 By Jayne Kingsley


Christmas time - I'm one of those who really gets into the spirit and starts itching to put the Chrissy lights up early and doesn't mind hearing Christmas carols on repeat from October onwards. 

Something I especially like around Christmas time is watching Christmas movies. In particular Christmas Romance movies - preferably Hallmark. I won't lie - I'll also happily watch them at any time of the year but there's something extra special about watching them during the festive season. 

So for my last blog of the year, I thought I'd share with you a few of my all-time favourite Christmas Romance Movies. Maybe some of these you'll have seen and maybe some can be added to your list!


Love Actually

Not Hallmark, I know :) But is there any better movie? I adore every part of this, even the storylines that don't end in the typical happy ever after. It always leaves me feeling refreshed, happy and just that slightly bit lighter and thankful for how lucky I am to live the life I'm living.

The Perfect Christmas Present (aka Mr. Christmas)

This was light and fun - just the way I like my movie viewing these days :D I especially liked how the storyline was unique.

Royal New Year's Eve

Royalty. Balls. Romance. An aspiring fashion designer as the heroine? Take my money people! I adored this movie. In fact... I might have to go watch it again ;)

Mingle All the Way

This movie is fun, fun and more fun. I really love how the heroine always has the most adorable winter coats in these Christmas movies, with perfect hair and they are always shopping whilst it's snowing. Makes me want to go back to Canada for a white Christmas!

So now you have some of my favourite Chrissy movie's - I'd love you to share some of yours?  


I love to love... my memories of catching snowflakes on the palm of my hand and being able to see the delicate snowflake shape

 

I love to laugh... at my cat's excitement over a house filled with Christmas decorations

 

I love to learn... how to make snowflakes from paper with my daughters

 

 

 

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and thank you for reading the Breathless in the Bush blog!

  1. Hi Jayne! I actually watched Love Actually last night - never get tired of it. Another Chrissy movie that I watched recently was Last Christmas. All the feels, but then it doesn't take much to make me cry, and I love Emilia Clarke in anything.

  2. Hi Jayne. Love Actually is lovely. Other movies, sorry, haven't been to the cinema in a long while and TV watching has been sporadic due to working full time and hoarding spare time for writing.

    1. Spare time must always be hoarded for writing ☺️

  3. Hi Jayne, I just lap up the Hallmark-y Christmas movies at this time of year, and love them all. They're so full of romance and love and good cheer and happiness. Sigh. The only one of your list I've watched is Love Actually, which I need to re-watch! Now the others need to be found and watched too. What a happy task. Happy Christmas!
