THE BEST AND SILLIEST CHRISTMAS MOVIE MOMENTS
When it comes to Christmas movies, there are two things that are true of them. Each year brings with it a bevy of new titles and every outlet or blog covers them in some form or another. This is something we all know well. This roundup of things that happened in Christmas movies over the weekend is an idea I saw on one of these outlets (from a prior year, not this one), and I thought it was fun! My idea is that anyone who uses an idea they see somewhere else has their own take, and so putting in the work (writing it) is a fun way to add more conversation and excitement to the topic. So, not taking any credit for the notion, I’m here to share some of the best and silliest moments from Christmas movies.
Adding two additional little disclaimers, I’m not sure if this will continue on a weekly basis. The reason for this one is I happened to see (too many really) several of the new movies this weekend, so it felt like there was enough content in my mind to put this together. However, some weeks I’ll only be seeing one movie. Additionally, since the Internet takes things to an extreme sometimes, this is all about fun. None of it is meant to be mean or anything outside of fun conversations about the seasonal flicks making noise on our TVs.

THE BEST AND SILLIEST CHRISTMAS MOVIE MOMENTS. Looking at some of the sweet #ChristmasMovie moments from this weekend. What did you see and love? #ChristmasMovies #ANewportChristmas #JoytotheWorld #ChadMichaelMurray Share on XFrom time travel to faux romance, there is the familiar variety from the weekend and of course, the movies give us some silly on-screen moments, but they also put out some of the best, too! Let’s recap them all.
THE BEST and SILLIEST CHRISTMAS MOVIE MOMENTS
Note; there will be spoilers below
THE CUTEST MEET-CUTE: Wish Upon a Star from A Newport Christmas
If there is one stand-out meet-cute, and really technically it’s the only one since every other Christmas movie I saw has the couple already in a friendship. That notwithstanding, we can admit that seeing the 1905 socialite Ella Stewart meeting the 2025 gentleman Nick in his, or rather her boat (this is a point of contention for another day), is still adorably sweet.

THE MOST AKWARD: The Dinner Table Debacle from Joy to the World
The ping-pong dinner table scene where everything comes apart at the seams in Joy to the World is shall we say, a bit much…? True we know that Joy’s careful façade is about to come undone, and yet, this is unexpected. Don’t mistake me, there are many such historic scenes from prior movies, but nonetheless, this moment where it all unravels is a little bit uncoordinated, which we accept because that’s the premise, but it’s a tiny bit too coincidental and happens too suddenly. Beyond this, the rest of the flick is just as any fun Christmas movie should be.
Competing for this spot would be the Addie, Justin, Jane and new beau situation-ship from The Great Christmas Snow-In! In fact this one may be slightly more awkward, but it gets a pass because it doesn’t happen on TV!

THE MOST HEROIC: Mission Christmas Toys from Christmas on Duty
How can our hearts do anything other than melt a little bit as we follow Blair and Josh as they take on a heroic mission (in a snowstorm no less!) to bring home the toys of children on the base where they are serving Christmas duty. Naturally the two are rivals so things don’t go as planned, but how can we not admire Blair’s acrobats or Josh’s optimism as they undertake this mission?

THE SILLIEST: The Romance Novel Dreams from The Great Christmas Snow-In
When Justin (a newly dumped groom) ends up stuck with Jane (the fiancé’s cousin) in a snowstorm, the pair need things to help pass the time. One thing Justin does is read one of Jane’s romance novels. While doing so, he dreams of a Tarzan and Jane-like fantasy that is a little (lovingly) silly. Jane’s words inspire other fantasies, too, including a Zorro-like dual.
THE SWOONIEST SWOON: The Dance from A Newport Christmas
Prior to their reunion, Ella tells Nick to be careful lest she swoon. She also earns a broken heart first, but when they dance, well we kind of swoon because it’s sweet – and the pure look of joy and exuberance on Ella’s face leaves zero doubt over the joy she has at being in love.
