I am very seasonal with movies!
Spring to Summer I watch Mama Mia wonderful, uplifting, sing along film based on the music of Abba. I never tire of this film and nor does my 2 year old – she loves the music so much we bought the Mama Mia soundtrack cd for the car!
Autumn and Winter (excluding December) I watch The Holiday – its a wonderful snowy, cosy film that makes you glad your inside in the warm with a hot drink!
December is the time for Christmas films and I love watching Miracle on 34th Street; I watch it loads throughout December & watch it every Christmas Eve as well. It’s a truly magical Christmas film.

![[AD - PRESS TRIP] We went back to where it all started today. Mike and I met at the Potters Arms in Harlow on Christmas Eve in 2008. We always try to go back on Christmas Eve for a drink, but this year we celebrated early. Cookhouse & Pub invited us to go and celebrate our anniversary early with them and they spoilt us rotten with a 3 course dinner & lots of gifts; they gave us heart shaped balloons, roses & Mike got a bottle of prosecco too.
The Potters Arms has changed over the years (though I'm sure if the building could talk it would say the same about us 🤣). It has been renovated and has a new menu which is really varied and delicious 😋. I am dairy and egg free and they had lots of choices for me - I had leek and potato soup to start, gammon, pineapple, chips and peas for main and vegan apple pie and custard for pudding 🥧. Mike had Prawn Cocktail to start, Steak, chips, peas, mushroom & grilled tomato for main and after eight Sundae for pudding 🍦. Lily had some bread and butter to start, hot dog, chips and beans for main and chocolate brownie and ice cream for pudding 🍫. The food was amazing, the restaurant has been renovated and the staff were really friendly. I can see us going back a lot...especially in the summer as its just down the road from Mike's outdoor bowls club! 🌞 @cookhouseandpub #cookhouseandpub #pottersarms #harlow #whatsonmyplate](https://cdn.shortpixel.ai/client/q_glossy,ret_img,w_200,h_200/https://www.happymummy.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
Oh The Holiday is one of my favs! Thanks so much for linking up to #TheList x
Mr H’s favourite is a Christmas Carol; he starred as Bob a few years ago in a local production of the show 🙂 x
Brilliant film, I love it 🙂 What is your favourite Christmas film? x
HAHAHAHA 🙂
It’s just because if I watch a summer film in the winter I miss the sun and vice versa! x
Great minds think alike 🙂 I can’t wait to watch Christmas films :O) x
Your welcome 🙂 x
I have never seen that one, will have to look it up 🙂 What’s it about? x
I know exactly what you mean; comfort films are the best 🙂 x
I love The Holiday and also Miracle on 34th Street… If I’m being honest, I kind of want to delve in to those kinds of films already!
Whilst I love watching new to me films, comfort films that I return to time and time again are just that more special to me.
I love The Holiday too. The one for me every year is It’s A Wonderful Life. Without fail. #EatSleepBlogRT
I love the holiday too, it’s such a feel good film. Thank you for linking up to #EatSleepBlogRT ?
I’ve got Mamma Mia on my list. I love Christmas films at Christmas time (Although I have been known to watch them in summer just to be a rebel!) As soon as December arrives I’m switching over to Christmas 24 and watching one corny movie after another. #blogtober16
Oh I love The Holiday too, it’s a completely guilty pleasure. #Blogtober16
Ohh! I love Christmas films. I love Miracle on 34th street. Such a classic!

I think Miracle on 34th Street is a staple Christmas movie… it has to be done!
Love your seasonal list!

I’d forgotten Miracle On 34th Street! So many great films out there #Blogtober16
