UPDATE: Check out Rolf's and Melinda's list at the bottom of the post!
It may be the season to be jolly, to run around shopping and drink eggnog at parties, but the winter season should also involves a decent amount of couch time. After all, much like Christmas, holiday movies usually come around just once a year, and should be enjoyed.
Which brings me to today’s topic: Holiday Movies! With 11 days until Christmas, and 17 until the New Year, time is running out!
So, what flicks are on your list of must see holiday movies? What about alternative holiday movies (eg. Die Hard)?
Post your lists on the blog, email feeback@cbcradio3.com, or tweet @CBCRadio3
Coming up: film expert Melinda Michalak and The Acorn's Rolf Klausener will weigh in with their lists!
