7 Forgotten Christmas Films To Watch This Holiday Season

Christmas movies seem to ebb and flow with the current demands of television viewers. Sometimes our favorite films become lost in the newer films until they are exiled from the program lineup. Here is a list of seven Christmas films I no longer see play on television but it still doesn't feel like Christmas without them.

1. "Annabelle's Wish."

View the trailer for "Annabelle's Wish" here.

"Annabelle's Wish" features a calf who was born on Christmas Eve who wants nothing more than to be one of Santa's reindeer, and a young boy, Billie, who lost his voice and parents in a barn fire. It shows their friendship and a custody battle in the midst of Christmas. Created by the "Make a Wish" foundation, it is sure to be a tear-jerker this holiday season.

2. "Eloise at Christmastime."


Eloise is up to her old antics again during Christmas as she tries to pair her best friend up with his old sweetheart. While trying to spread cheer to the other residents of the plaza, she will buy gifts for her long list of friends and wish to spend her holidays with her mother. Her nanny is also a familiar face to most as she is played by Julie Andrews, who will try and soothe some of the damage of her attempts by stopping a major scam happening this Christmas.

3. "Bah, Humduck! A Looney Tunes Christmas."


Daffy Duck stars in this funny version of "A Christmas Carol." Daffy owns a large toy store and isn't willing to give his employees time off for the holidays with a very small wage. It's a familiar story told with classic Looney Tunes characters.

4. "Unaccompanied Minors."


"Unaccompanied Minors" is a light-hearted film about children stuck in an airport during the holidays, specifically an airport not interested in showing any holiday spirit. So, these children take it upon themselves to celebrate their own way: by causing a ruckus.

5. "Olive the Other Reindeer."


Olive is a dog who isn't interested in being a dog, much to her owner's misfortune. When Santa makes a press release cancelling Christmas, she mishears him and goes on a quest to assist Santa by becoming his substitute reindeer. With a watch con-artist penguin helping her, will Olive be able to reach Santa in time for the holidays before the evil mailman stops her?

6. "Santa Baby."

View the trailer for "Santa Baby" here.

Santa is becoming swamped at the North Pole, and when his wife telegrams about his health to their daughter, Mary, she comes to see how she can help. But as Mary soon learns that he doesn't want help from his business-focused daughter, she begins to try and manage anyway. Will Mary be able to save Christmas or will the new system make it fall apart?

7. "Beauty and the Beast: Enchanted Christmas."


Have you ever wondered what happened around the time of the infamous snowball fight in "Beauty and the Beast?" Well, wonder no more for this movie answers all the questions. While animated sequels aren't known to be spectacular, this movie has all the heart from the original and gives more of an insight to how Belle and her Beast got on during their time together in the castle.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
