Movies to watch this festive season

It's almost Christmas! I can't believe it's that time of year again, it feels like this year has gone so fast.

Christmas trees and decorations are starting to go up in shopping centres, cities and households and people have started their gift shopping.

New movies have arrived in cinemas and Netflix and this is what I will be talking about in this post. I am going to share some of my favourite Christmas movies which I'm sure most of you have seen or at least heard about. If you haven't, definitely check them out!

Home Alone is my favourite, I watch it every Christmas. Macaulay Culkin plays eight-year old Kevin McCallister who is accidently left behind by his family who fly to Paris for their holiday. Initially, Kevin enjoys being home alone but soon has to contend with two burglars.

There are four movies in the Home Alone Franchise but thei first two are the best, in my opinion.

This movie from 2004 is hilarious. Christmas with the Kranks is about a couple who decides to skip Christmas one year because their daughter is away, which angers their neighbors. It tars Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis.

The Santa Clause stars Tim Allen who plays divorced dad Scott Calvin who takes care of his son Charlie on Christmas Eve. Scott becomes Santa Clause when he accidentally causes the death of a man wearing a Santa suit and he and Charlie are transported to the North Pole and they have a magical adventure. There are three movies in this series.

Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon play Brad and Kate, a couple who try to avoid their dysfunctional families at Christmas by going on overseas on vacation but, after getting trapped at the airport when flights are cancelled because of fog and being interviewed by a news crew, their families find out they are home for the holidays. Brad and Kate have to visit all four of their divorced parents homes on Christmas day. Highly recommend that you see this if you haven't already.

Welcome back Justice Crew!

Photo credit to @Justicecrewofficial Instagram Justice Crew are a dance and music group who won Australia's Got Talent in 2010 and went on to release many amazing songs including number one hits Boom Boom and Que Sera . After their tour in 2019, they took a long break and now they are back! I have been a huge fan of them since the beginning and have been to a lot of their shows, so when they announced they were performing a show in February, of course I was excited and attended with my friend. There was a huge crowd there to see them, which surprised a few people, including maybe the guys themselves. After six years, they probably felt rusty, but they were actually amazing as always. It was so cool to see them on stage again and here all the hit songs the number ones and Everybody. It's so crazy how even now, after six year...

Light in the Darkness

We all carry a little darkness. Moments we don’t speak of. Storms We face. Shadows we walk through quietly. But that doesn’t mean our light is gone. Even on heavy days, when it feels like someone has punched us in the chest, or everything feels hopeless. We work. We care. We laugh. We create. We shine, like the brightest star in the sky. No matter what happens today – even if it’s messy, or lonely, or full of tears - The sun will rise in the morning. Like it always does. Like we always do. Because light doesn’t have to shout. Sometimes it just keeps showing up, quietly. One bright beam at a time.

Time To Break Away

In 2018, I introduced you all to an incredible singer from St Lucia, D.B.L, who I found while scrolling through Instagram. I have quietly kept up with all his news, he has done so many amazing things. In October 2025, D.B.L released a single called Time To Break Away and, in this post, I am going to share my thoughts on the song and video with you. Time To Break Away by D.B.L Image from Genius Time To Break Away explores the themes of rebellion, overcoming struggle and escaping negativity and talks about serious conflict we see happening in the world. Listening to the lyrics makes me feel emotional, and I think everyone who listens to it will feel something. "You have to go to sleep with one eye open The rebel’s on the prowl to search for victim You got to know the rules or else it’s the end Now look at what’s around you all the bloodshed The propaganda spread the lies that dem spread The bigotry deceit to hide the problem Hypocrisy me me can’t understand I think about the c...
