Dr. G’s Holiday Movie Watchlist-2023 Edition

Now this is not a post about the best Christmas movies (although all my faves are on this list), but more of a celebration of Christmas movies. This is literally my favorite time of year when it comes to movies!! You have your classics that never get old and then the newbies that hopefully become classics! With this list, I made sure to include a good mix for both the kids, the adults, and everyone in between.
