If you’re a lover of astrology, it probably comes as no surprise that your zodiac sign plays a big role in what holiday movies you classify as favorites. With December festivities right around the corner, you’re probably in the mood to slip on some comfy socks, brew some hot cocoa and put on a movie that takes you back to memories of untangling twinkling string lights, tearing open carefully-wrapped presents and leaving milk and cookies out for Santa.
Even though everyone can get behind the cozy and comforting genre that is holiday movies (unless you’re a total scrooge), even the most popular holiday films definitely aren’t packaged as one-size-fits-all. While one zodiac sign might prefer to watch a movie that reminds them of being a kid and sending letters to the North Pole, another sign might rather see something about adults falling in love under the mistletoe.
Likewise, one sign might prefer a more sentimental and romantic flick, while another just wants to laugh until eggnog starts spewing out of their nose. Luckily, there’s an endless array of holiday films to choose from so that no one feels left out of the festivities. Bonus points if you and your friend select your signs’ recommended flicks and commit to a double feature!
These unforgettable films always shed light on themes of love, humor, childhood and family, which means that your taste in holiday movies ends up saying so much about who you are. And if you’re wondering what flick to start with this season, your zodiac sign might just lead you to the perfect recommendation. Read on and curl up in front of the TV with your new go-to!
