Christmas Movies (2025)

Another Christmas in the books; it always goes too fast. I did get a chance to watch several movies this year and a decent mix of selections. This is also the inaugural year for a new special event movie, Elf Celebration Day (on December twELFth). Let’s get the list of default movies.

Oh Christmas Tree
  • White Christmas
  • 8-Bit Christmas
  • Scrooged
  • A Christmas Story
  • A Christmas Story Christmas
  • Christmas Vacation
  • Four Christmases

We watched Four Christmases again this year, so it’s now pretty much a default choice. Believe it or not, we did not watch Spirited this year, which surprises me since my daughter enjoys it so much. Now let’s get to the non-default choices, including a 2025 Christmas movie.

Movie Trailer – Avengers Doomsday: Thor

How about one more trailer before 2025 comes to a close? As promised, here is another teaser trailer for Avengers Doomsday, this time focusing on Thor.

If you didn’t know, the actress who is playing Thor’s adopted daughter is Chris Hemsworth’s own daughter, India Rose Hemsworth. She is reprising the role from Thor: Love and Thunder. I think this makes the character dynamics much more real, not just for the viewers but also for Chris and his family.

There is a theme developing here. So far, both trailers depict a member of the original Avengers and their child. I think there are two more teaser trailers set to come out, so who else has a kid? Keep in mind that this movie is not scheduled to release until November, 2026.

Movie Trailer: The Immortal Man

This is the Peaky Blinders movie Netflix has been teasing for a while. If you’ve never seen the series, I highly recommend it! It is a fantastic series! This movie brings back Thomas Shelby following the events of the series. Take a look, but I have one caveat. If you’ve never seen the show, the trailer probably won’t make sense.

This is just a teaser, but I need to go back and watch the series again. I believe this is the role Cillian Murphy will be remembered for, despite his amazing filmography.

The movie will be in select theaters on March 6th and streaming on Netflix on March 20th.

ICYMI First Avengers Doomsday Teaser Trailer

Before I say too much about this trailer, you should probably check it out. FYI, if you saw the newest Avatar movie (Avatar: Fire and Ash), apparently, this trailer premiered with that movie. Watch this trailer before reading any further.

Movie Trailer: Jimmy

This is a biopic I didn’t see coming. I’ve enjoyed quite a few Jimmy Stewart movies. It’s a Wonderful Life is a fantastic Christmas movie, not to mention Rear Window, Anatomy of a Murder, and The Philadelphia Story. If you haven’t seen a Jimmy Stewart movie, then you should hardly consider yourself a film fanatic. I know, that’s gatekeeping, but I mean it as a joke. Check out the trailer for this 2026 release.

KJ Apa is the actor cast to portray Jimmy Stewart. In the trailer, it sounds like he will do an amazing job with the voice and Jimmy’s mannerisms. From what I’ve read, this movie takes place right after The Philadelphia Story, when Stewart enlists and becomes a combat pilot. I didn’t know Jimmy Stewart served in the armed forces.

Anyway, I think this movie looks great, and I hope to get to see it in the theater next November.

Supergirl Teaser Trailer

It was rumored that December 11th would be the premiere date for the Supergirl teaser trailer. The rumors are true. This is the second film in James Gunn’s DC universe. Milly Alcock‘s Supergirl was teased at the end of the Superman movie released earlier this year. She returns as the titular character to tell the tale of Kara Zor-El before she arrives on Earth. Some may recognize Milly Alcock as young Rhaenyra Targaryen from House of the Dragon.

I’m a little undecided. This trailer doesn’t quite ignite the excitement and enthusiasm as the Superman trailer did. Coincidentally, the Superman trailer came out almost exactly a year ago. It’s a pretty unknown cast, other than Jason Momoa as Lobo. Perhaps when we get the official trailer, I’ll feel a little more interested in the movie.
