As always, here are the films I've watched and reviews I've written this Blogmas!

Meet Me Next Christmas | Blogmas Day 1 - This was a cute way to start the Christmas season!

Christmas Lucky Charm | Blogmas Day 2 - I loved this one, especially the character of Jessica.

Destined at Christmas | Blogmas Day 3 - This one was disappointing because the characters never spent any time together.

The Christmas Checklist | Blogmas Day 4 - This one explored grief in an interesting way.

Hot Chocolate Holiday | Blogmas Day 5 - Worth it just for the Christmas treats!

No Sleep 'Til Christmas | Blogmas Day 6 - Original and so much chemistry between the (real life) couple!

A Christmas of Wonders | Blogmas Day 7 - Generic, basic Christmas movie.

Snowmance | Blogmas Day 8 - The first of two snowmen coming to life!

A Show-Stopping Christmas | Blogmas Day 9 - Cute, but Riley was a much better character than Sam.

The Christmas Retreat | Blogmas Day 10 - Loved the banter between the couple!

Christmas in Notting Hill | Blogmas Day 11 - Loved this couple, and loved that this was a British Christmas film!

The Merry Gentlemen | Blogmas Day 12 - My birthday pick was a really really good one! Probably the only film of this Blogmas I'll watch again.

My Christmas Fiancé | Blogmas Day 13 - The characters were boring and there was no chemistry between them.

Merry Magic Christmas | Blogmas Day 14 - The most forgettable film of Blogmas.


A Christmas Proposal - Blogmas Day 16 - The worst film of Blogmas so far, maybe of all time.

Hot Frosty | Blogmas Day 17 - The second of the Snowmen coming to life movies, better than the first.

Christmas Plus One | Blogmas Day 18 - I didn't like this couple until almost the end of the film!


Holiday for Hire | Blogmas Day 20 - Liked the main character but her love interest was a bit too perfect.

Christmas on Ice | Blogmas Day 21 - It's always great to have an Ice Skating movie in Blogmas!

Dancing through Christmas | Blogmas Day 22 - Cute but could have been a lot better.

A Very Merry Beauty Salon | Blogmas Day 23 - Disappointing considering I was so excited for the actors' reunion.

Our Little Secret | Blogmas Day 24 - A great way to end Blogmas - probably the funniest movie on the list!

And those are my Blogmas 2024 posts! Check out any you missed!

Our Little Secret | Blogmas Day 24

  It's Christmas Eve! After a disastrous break-up, exes Avery (Lindsay Lohan) and Logan (Ian Harding) are forced to spend Christmas together when they discover that their new significant others are siblings. Last up on the Blogmas list was the 4th of 4 new Netflix Christmas movies. Of the four this was the most highly anticipated, so it only made sense to put it in the Christmas Eve slot. And this was a great movie to end on. Not only was it one of the most original, but it was as much com as rom, which is rare in Christmas movies! It had a really great opening scene. It was gripping, and we get to know the characters right away so we can be excited about where it goes. But what was also great was the opening credits. Probably the most creative way I've ever seen to show the passage of time! The chemistry between the main characters was great, but both of them had absolutely no chemistry with the people they're supposed to be spending Christmas with. After getting into the ...

A Very Merry Beauty Salon | Blogmas Day 23

  It's Blogmas day 23! Sienna's (Tia Mowry) preparation for Atlanta's Tinsel Ball gets derailed when she meets Lawrence (RonReaco Lee), whose company is sponsoring the ball. This is the newest pick of Blogmas, and I'll admit the only reason I picked it was to see the reunion of Mowry and Lee, who played a couple on 'Sister, Sister' back in the day. It wasn't originally on my list but after seeing the trailer, I had to include it! I liked this one, but unfortunately didn't love it. From the start the first thing that jumped out at me was how authentic all the characters felt. It was well written and everything felt real. I loved that the supporting characters had their own storylines. They didn't steal the show from the main characters but we still got the chance to get to know them. This may not have been the best romance of Blogmas, but it definitely had the best decorations! Just looking at the backgrounds alone makes you feel really festive and Ch...

Dancing Through Christmas | Blogmas Day 22

  It's Blogmas day 22! Sparks fly when single father Michael (Colin Lawrence) begins to fall for his daughter's dance teacher Olivia (AnnaLynne McCord). I mainly picked this one because I'm familiar with the main actress, but the premise was quite sweet so I was looking forward to it. This one was fine, not great but not bad either. The characters were instantly likeable, and the chemistry between them was great from their very first meeting. But it took a bit too long for the story to start because the pacing was weird - the characters spent too long on their individual storylines and then no time apart at all - nothing was gradual. There was almost no tension because the characters obviously liked each other and repeatedly vocalised this very early on. It made it hard to know what the point of the story actually was, because there was no 'will they, won't they' that these movies usually have. Considering that dancing is an important part of the film, the chara...

It was really hard this year to decide what's going into this short Favourites post, and what's going into tomorrow's 2024 Favourites post. I have so many great things to write about this year! Favourite Movie (1): Juror #2 I finished watching this movie about 10 minutes ago and immediately knew it had to go on this list. I'll review it in the new year but it's such an amazing film, definitely worth watching if you get the chance. Favourite Movie (2): The Substance This is another one that I'll be reviewing in the new year, so I won't say too much about it here, but all the positive reviews and hype is completely founded - this was a wild ride in the best way! Favourite Movie (3): Unicorns And another one that I'll be reviewing in the new year, but I absolutely loved this film. It's currently on Netflix in the UK and is absolutely worth a watch! Favourite Movie (4): Woman of the Hour I reviewed this film HERE  and made no secret of how much I loved ...
