But in the magical time between Christmas and before New Year’s Eve, there’s nothing better than putting than cozying up and watching movies — and that’s where non-Christmas Christmas movies work their magic. They are movies where Christmas isn’t the entree but maybe an appetizer, where there’s a feeling of Christmas without the plot explicitly being about Christmas.
