History

We all love films with the spirit of Christmas. These movies are usually magical and colorful, with happy endings. They remind us of childhood when we rushed into a room and saw gifts under the tree. Our souls are filled with peace and gratitude when we watch them. We could mention some of the most popular ones, such as “Home Alone,” “Harry Potter,” “Gremlins,” “Bridget Jones’s Diary,” and “The Holiday.” However, there are an infinite number of movies – choose your favorites on this National Day!

The first Christmas movie was released in 1897. It was a selection of short films entitled “Night Before Christmas” and “Santa Claus Filling.” These were black and white, yet many people still love them.
