It's that time of year again where we celebrate the best holidays of the year: Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, and more. The best thing about this time of year are all of the great movies to watch. Here are 5 holiday movies you must see this year.

1. Home Alone...All of Them!

It's not Christmas time unless you watch Home Alone with your friends and family. This movie is an all time favorite for many people, including me. Now, you can't just watch the first one. You instead must marathon all of the Home Alone movies together.

2. A Rugrats Chanukah and A Rugrats Kwanzaa

These are two holiday movies, for holidays that don't get as much screen time. They are great family favorites, and two movies I used to watch every holiday season growing up. If you aren't into the whole childish outlook on the Kwanzaa holiday, you can always look into the documentary The Black Candle which is actually narrated by Maya Angelou. Same goes if you want a more upbeat, more modern take on Chanukah, check out Eight Crazy Nights with Adam Sandler.


3. A Christmas Story

This is the traditional timeless movie that every family winds up watching together at least once if not 10 times together over the course of the holiday season. I know my family and I always wind up seeing it a few times on Christmas day as TBS marathons it for 24 hours. This movie is perfect for sitting around with family, joking, and sipping hot chocolate.

4. Holiday in Handcuffs

This is one of my personal favorites. Sadly it is not as well known, but it is definitely worth a watch during the holiday season. Mario Lopez and Melissa Joan Hart spice up the holidays in this unconventional Christmas love story. This movie is full of laughs, love, and lies, but it makes for the perfect holiday love story in the end.

5. The Santa Clause...once again...all of them

This film series is probably one that every child saw growing up. I know my family and I used to see it every year together, and it never gets old. This is a great movie for those late nights of staying in during the holiday season, or when you just need a light-hearted and fun Christmas movie.


All of these are great holiday movies and are perfect for this time of year. Let me know your favorites as well!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
