This Slogging thread by Sara Pinto, Daniel Guzman, Mónica Freitas, Jack Boreham, Limarc Ambalina, Blake Cram and Lori McNeill occurred in slogging's official #random channel, and has been edited for readability.

Now that we are officially in the holiday season, what is your favorite movie for this time of the year? 🕯🎄

I love Jingle All The Way! Haha it makes me cry even harder every time I watch it.

Mónica FreitasDec 2, 2021, 11:47 AM

Sara Pinto I'll be binging the Harry Potter saga! It just fits with the time's whole mood. That and any Disney Movies. What do you usually watch?

Sara PintoDec 2, 2021, 12:46 PM

Daniel Guzman I'm not familiar with that one, what is it all about? I might have to put it on my list

Daniel GuzmanDec 2, 2021, 12:47 PM

Sara Pinto it's about a father that looks for the desired toy for his kid. It's a Christmas classic haha

Mónica Freitas Ah yes, I could never say no to a cozy night with the HP marathon! For me, it's usually the Grinch. His whining about not liking Christmas just screams "holidays!!!!" haha

Jack BorehamDec 2, 2021, 2:52 PM

Sara Pinto, I absolutely love Narnia. Also Fred Clause that's my go-to. I used to watch these every year as a kid (not so much now😜)

Jack Boreham Narnia is dope! I cry a lot at the end of the second movie; you know, when Alan said that thing about Susan and Peter :pleading_face: Did you know that those books were inspired -somehow- in the Bible?

Limarc AmbalinaDec 2, 2021, 5:11 PM

Elf hands down

I love Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase. It's the Christmas movie that I try to watch consistently every year. It's chaotic and hilarious every time.

Blake CramDec 2, 2021, 7:47 PM

I also like binging sagas like Harry Potter, I'm not sure why but those always feel so much better during the holidays. Growing up we would typically rotate years marathoning HP, Lord of the Rings, or Star Wars.

Charlie Brown Christmas!!!
I am forever in love with the Peanuts gang.

Mónica FreitasDec 3, 2021, 11:47 AM

Sara Pinto Oh, the Grinch! It goes in the same line as "The Mask" for me. Both have that homey feeling.

Jack Boreham This message gave me nostalgia. I think this is your queue to rewatch them haha. The first Narnia movie usually passes on Portuguese TV and feels so good to see it

Sara PintoDec 3, 2021, 3:11 PM

Limarc Ambalina I've only seen Elf recently, like last year, and I have to say that I completely understand the hype! it almost made me want to try the weird food he made 😂

Sara PintoDec 3, 2021, 3:20 PM

Blake Cram I haven't heard of the first one in a while! But I get the sagas marathons. It's something that I've seen passing on tv all my life around this time of the year. It feels like it's part of the season. Which saga did you prefer?

Sara PintoDec 3, 2021, 3:28 PM

Lori McNeill I remember seeing loose episodes of Charlie Brown that only made my love for cartoons even bigger. I'll definitely have to watch that movie this year! Do you watch it every Christimas?

Jack BorehamDec 6, 2021, 11:05 AM

Sara Pinto Narnia is like fictional Christmas. Everything you want from a winter wonderland. Plus azlam is so cool.😂

Jack Boreham We hardly have a white Christmas in Portugal, so Narnia does sound like a dream!

Mónica FreitasDec 7, 2021, 12:42 PM

Sara Pinto Jack Boreham I'm playing the devil's advocate here, but thank god there's not white Christmas in my hometown. It's nasty enough with all the rain and wind 😂☔🌬
