Here are all of the best movies on TV this Christmas Eve

Keeley Ryan

Christmas Eve has (finally) arrived.

 

The stage is set for the big day, with the twinkling lights of the tree; the festive carols on repeat; and the halls all decked with all the tinsel we can find.

Which means we’re going to be spending the afternoon curled up on the couch with a mug of cocoa and a good movie.

Thankfully, there’s a lot to choose from today.
