While lots of classic Christmas movies are available, many of us also watch films each year that aren’t strictly Christmas movies. These might be debated as Christmas films, or they simply become yearly traditions due to when and where we watch them. Regardless, they feel just as essential to the holidays as a film like A Christmas Carol, and we love that!

With the Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo manga now in its final arc, the author, Akutami, may finally reveal the full extent of Yuji’s incredible power. This sequel series, which began in September 2025—a year after the original story concluded—is illustrated by Yuji Iwasaki and set in Tokyo 68 years later. While it primarily follows new characters, there’s a good chance Yuji, who somehow survived for so long, will return.

Max has been comatose since the end of Stranger Things Season 4, but Sadie Sink’s character still has a significant role in the final season. Her reappearance in the first part of the season was a pleasant surprise, especially after fans spent three years wondering what happened to her. Currently, Max and Holly are trapped inside a mental landscape created by the villain, Henry. The title of an upcoming episode, “Escape From Camazotz,” suggests they’ll find a way out when the show returns on December 25th. However, it’s not certain that both girls will make it back to Hawkins, and a connection to a famous story hints that Max might be left behind.

First shown in 1977, Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas is a special holiday TV program unlike many others. Created by Jim Henson and based on a book by Russell Hoban, it’s a heartwarming story inspired by the classic tale, “The Gift of the Magi.” It originally aired on Canadian television, where it was a hit with viewers and critics, and then came to the United States on HBO and ABC. Over the years, it’s become a cherished holiday classic, though it’s often overlooked when we think of our favorite seasonal shows.

Besides Zelda, the Final Fantasy series is another major gaming franchise I’ve had a mixed relationship with. It’s a cornerstone of the RPG genre, and I’ve often wanted to love its epic stories, but I rarely feel a strong emotional connection to the characters or get truly invested. I enjoy the side games and crossovers, like Kingdom Hearts, but the main Final Fantasy games are usually just okay – though Final Fantasy VII stands out – and sometimes they’re pretty frustrating. Still, I hesitate to say I dislike the series entirely, because one game from almost 20 years ago remains one of my all-time favorite RPGs.

The latest season of the popular show Emily in Paris is now available on Netflix, having premiered on Thursday. Fans have a week to watch all the new episodes before the return of Stranger Things on Christmas.

Marvel revealed plans for a new five-part Wonder Man comic series launching in March 2026. Written by Gerry Duggan and illustrated by Mark Buckingham, the story follows Simon Williams, also known as Wonder Man, as he returns to Hollywood and attempts to maintain order using his abilities. However, he soon becomes entangled in a dangerous mystery connected to an old friend, putting him at odds with both the major movie studios and the hero Patsy Walker, a.k.a. Hellcat, potentially jeopardizing his career.

The Game Boy Advance was truly great because of its huge library of fantastic games. Popular series like Metroid, Pokémon, and Super Mario really flourished on the system, with many excellent titles released for it. However, some other amazing GBA games have faded from memory and don’t get the attention they deserve. Let’s revisit some of the best, most underrated games that came out on the Game Boy Advance.

Here are some sci-fi movies made with very little money that still managed to innovate and influence the genre. Let’s take a look at how they achieved that.
