The countdown to Christmas is on! And, as we all know, it’s a perfect time to enjoy Christmas movies as families come together to celebrate, eat, drink and be merry! So, with that in mind, here's a list of popular Christmas-themed comedies that you might want to bing watch during the festivities.
The Night Before
Three best friends decide to end their tradition of wild holiday partying – but not before one final drug-fuelled Christmas Eve in New York.
Last Holiday
Enjoy Yourself, It's Later Than You Think!

With news like that, it's time to give your life a serious makeover! So Georgia jets off on a dream vacation to live life like there's no tomorrow. Enjoy hearty laughs and rollicking comedic misadventures when Georgia shakes up a glamorous European resort spa while enthusiastically embracing a new look, new moves, and a new attitude!
Uncle Nick

Scrooged!
High-spirited high jinks on Christmas Eve put Frank Cross (Bill Murray) in a ghostly time warp in this hilarious take-off of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." Cross, who has made the meteoric rise from the depths of the mailroom to TV network president, is mean, nasty, uncaring, unforgiving and has a sadistic sense of humor - perfect qualities for a modern-day Scrooge. Before the night is over, he'll be visited by a maniacal New York cab driver from the past, a present-day fairy who's into pratfalls and, finally, a ghoulish, seven-foot headless messenger from the future.
Happy Christmas
Irresponsible 20-something Jenny arrives in Chicago to live with her older brother Jeff, a young film-maker living a happy existence with his novelist wife Kelly and their two-year-old son. Jenny's arrival shakes up their quiet domesticity as she and her friend Carson instigate an evolution in Kelly's life and career. Meanwhile, Jenny strikes up a rocky relationship with the family's baby sitter-cum-pot dealer.
