Just before Christmas, an aspiring young American magazine journalist, Amber Moore, is sent to the foreign nation of Aldovia to cover a press conference given by crown prince Richard, who is set to take the throne following his father’s recent death. Richard has been portrayed in the press as an irresponsible playboy and he is also rumored to be planning to abdicate.
Amber hopes her work in Aldovia will lead to a big break and she heads to the royal family’s palace for the press conference, but the prince fails to appear. Rather than leave with the press pack, Amber decides to snoop around the palace and while doing so is mistaken for young Princess Emily’s new American tutor, Martha Anderson.
2. Get Santa
Its days before Christmas and reindeer are found running loose through the streets of London. Meanwhile, an astonished 9-year-old Tom (newcomer Kit Connor) discovers Santa (Jim Broadbent) in the garden shed. He has crash-landed while test-driving his new sleigh and enlists Tom and his father Steve (Rafe Spall) to help him get back to Lapland.
But what happens when Santa is arrested and thrown into prison? Will Steve and Tom be able to break him out in time for Christmas? Get Santa is a heart-warming and funny family adventure about a father and son reconnecting to discover the magic of Christmas.
3. Tree Man
Every holiday season, hundreds of Christmas tree sellers from across North America descend upon the streets of New York City to ply their trade. Having left their homes and families behind, they endure the adversity of a migrant’s survival living out of their cars and vans. François, a “Tree Man” and father of three from Québec, returns to the same Manhattan street corner every year to deliver the magic of the season. Francois is a Canadian entrepreneur who runs a holiday stall on the corner of 102nd Street, across Broadway from a former Radio Shack.
Each November he says goodbye to his wife and children, packs up his van, and drives hundreds of miles to Manhattan to wait for a shipment of Christmas trees from down south. From Thanksgiving through Christmas Eve, Francois sells his trees to Upper West-siders; meanwhile, his small staff, returning customers, and fellow “Tree People” serve as a sort of the second family as he spends the season far away from home.
4. El Camino Christmas
When Eric Roth (Luke Grimes) goes on an impulsive journey to find the father he never knew, his search takes him to the remote desert town of El Camino, Nevada, where he’s mistaken for a drug dealer by local, dim-witted law enforcement and winds up pinned down in a liquor store holdup with five other lost souls on Christmas Eve…one of which is his father.
5. Miss Me This Christmas
Regina, a singer, and her music producer hubby, Franklin. Regina is played by Erica Ash, formerly of MadTV and the Big Gay Sketch Show, and is easily the best part of the movie, (well, other than her best friend, played by Eva Pigford, of America’s Next Top Model Fame, who chews the scenery all over this film). Regina is convinced Franklin is cheating on her because he went to a work party and posed with his ex, another singer at the studio.
It’s totally ridiculous and she overreacts like Woah. Franklin isn’t given much to do except look exasperated. They decide to get divorced and are informed that the divorce will officially go through on Christmas day (divorces don’t work like that). Meanwhile, Regina moves into the Chesterton with her bestie, the aforementioned Ms. Pigford, and meets Curtis, from Black-ish, who’s a multi-millionaire computer programmer.
He is immediately smitten, and even though Regina is still married, she accepts his marriage proposal. Y’all, it’s nuts. Franklin sees the two of them together at one of Pigford’s wild parties and gets jealous. Regina has a heart to heart with Leslie, the interior decorator from You Can’t Fight Christmas, and ends up going back to Franklin; the two kiss by some Christmas decorations, of course.

The two women decide to switch places, and holiday-themed hijinks ensue. Ultimately they both find love (Stacy with another royal, Prince Edward, and Margaret with Stacy’s friend Kevin) and live happily ever after.
B. Stacy, a type-A planner with a penchant for schedules, takes a spontaneous trip to the charming land of Belgravia at the suggestion of her sous chef and best friend, Kevin. While preparing for the Royal Christmas Baking Contest, Stacy faces an identical stranger and a strange request. Free-spirited but royally obligated, all Duchess Margaret Delacourt really wants is one last chance to experience life as a “normal person” before she dutifully marries the Crown Prince of Belgravia. Stacy can give her that wish.

When she arrives, the required expert hired to inspect it leaves inconclusively, the latest scare-victim of the locally repute house ghost. The caretaker fails to scare her off though, she even insists to stay there alone and isn’t daunted when she meets a ghost, Daniel.
He’s a gentleman who was trapped by a curse since his murder there during the Prohibition, nicknamed Christmas spirit because he only materializes on the twelve days of Christmas, and refuses to ‘waste’ that time on more fruitless efforts to study and break his curse, yet gets dragged in by Kate, while both get mutual crushes, tested by conflicting loyalties to her job and his former fiancee, also a ghost.
