It's a truth universally acknowledged that the best time of year is when you can curl up with some holiday comfort food and watch endless holiday movies. Thankfully, that time is now!
If you're looking for somewhere to start, Freevee has a bunch of holiday films on offer, and somehow the fact that you can watch them all for free makes the whole thing even sweeter. Here's a round-up:
1. EXmas (2023)
This one just came out — so if you've seen every other holiday movie, start here. This BuzzFeed Studios and Freevee Original stars Leighton Meester and Robbie Amell as ex-fiancees Ali and Graham.
