The Best Holiday Movies On Netflix
indulgd

The holidays are here, folks. Finals are over and Christmas is officially in full swing! We only have three weeks to completely binge watch all the classic (and maybe not-so-classic, but still just as good) holiday movies on Netflix. If you're looking to kick back with some hot cocoa and a warm fuzzy blanket check out the best movies to accompany your Christmas relaxation.

1. "The Santa Clause"

Who doesn't love a good Tim Allen movie? This movie is a classic 90's holiday film. It's got everything you could possibly want for the holidays -- Santa, his elves, and a comedic main character. This movie is a stand-out to me because it lacks the "romance" factor that you'll find in almost every other Christmas movie. The storyline is completely based upon a father-son relationship, and it'll make you shed a few tears for sure.

2. "The Legend of Frosty the Snowman"

If you didn't watch this movie in elementary school during the holidays, you must have not grown up in America. This movie was always my teachers' go-to, and I love the classic storyline. Frosty is such an iconic Christmas character, and this movie brings back all my seven-year-old feels.


3. "Christmas with the Kranks"

Again, another Tim Allen classic (he must love the holidays). "Christmas with the Kranks" is a hilarious family film that will make you really get in the Christmas spirit (because the Kranks, clearly aren't).


4. "Love Actually"

It totally does not need to be Christmas time for you to watch this movie, but if you want an all around romantic movie that will make you feel sad about being single, then ditch the hot cocoa, grab your wine, and let the movie roll.


5. "Miracle on 34th Street"

Okay, I have personally never seen this one (judge all you want) but what I know is that this movie plays on every big television network during the holidays. So if you're wanting to watch one of the absolute classics that, I'm sure, will never disappoint, turn this one on and grab your snacks!

Regardless if you're alone or with loved ones this holiday season, you will always have Netflix to count on.

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.
