SO YOU FEEL LIKE WATCHING A CHRISTMAS FILM

Off the back of a global pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, Christmas this year may well be filled with even more inactivity than usual. But in place of drunken snogs with coworkers and the sheer joy of stumbling across a Christmas sandwich in the reduced section, there’s now ample opportunity to watch Christmas films.

While you’d probably have spent the following day doing that hungover anyway, COVID-19 – as much of a bastard as it is – enables you to do so with the clear head and critical eye of someone not at legal drinking age.

Given the fact that a donation from the woman herself partly funded the development of the coronavirus vaccine, it would be downright disrespectful not to watch Dolly Parton’s Christmas on the Square. It also features Christine Baranski, who has starred in at least one other Christmas film (How the Grinch Stole Christmas) and therefore definitely knows what she’s doing with such a role.
