Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey

A grandfather inventor talks to his granddaughter.

this film’s strong storytelling, talented cast and uplifting songs (Jingle Jangle is a musical!) make it a tale the whole family can enjoy.

Operation Christmas Drop

A man and a woman smile in the cockpit of an airplane.

This Netflix romcom truly embraces the generous spirit of Christmas (even if it never clearly focuses on Jesus).

Pets United

Animated dogs and robots stand around.

The message of this film is a positive one: You don’t have to be perfect in order to belong.

Switched

Girls wake up in side-by-side beds.

Think Freaky Friday, but throw in themes that talk about the need to love God and others, and you’ve got Switched.

The One and Only Ivan

A man and a gorilla touch foreheads.

This lovely film’s minor blemishes don’t mar the positive, family-friendly lessons at the heart of this unfettered story.

The Legend of 5 Mile Cave

You might even think of this western tale as a blending of the not-so-Wild West with a Hallmark special.

Animal Crackers

The generally formulaic story here veers in odd directions at times, like a slightly dazed monkey on a unicycle.

Trolls World Tour

This glittery sequel ultimately teaches a valuable lesson about loving and accepting people who are different.
