The opinion of CNET France

It's hard not to make a Christmas selection without including Mom, I missed the plane. A fun and caustic comedy, where children rule the roost...

The opinion of CNET France

What if everyman - and a bad family man - suddenly had to replace Santa Claus? The brilliant starting point of a comedy combining burlesque gags, incredible situations, and pleasant good-natured morality.

The opinion of CNET France

If you were looking for a Christmas story like no other, you've found it! Straight from the particular mind of Tim Burton (Edward Scissorhands, Mars Attack), and brought to life by Henry Selick (James and the Giant Peach), The Nightmare Before Christmas offers a musical story, snowy, and gently macabre which will no longer make you see the end of year celebrations as before. A magnificent and enchanting world, animated in stop-motion (thus frame by frame), for an atypical and charming tale. A classic, of course.

5. An enchanting classic to rediscover: Miracle on 34th Street

The opinion of CNET France

This remake of an American classic from the 1940s, updates this burning question in our modern world: what if Santa Claus really existed? Through the disillusioned gaze of a little girl, who sees only consumerist debauchery in the end-of-year celebrations, this touching and touching story of faith and innocence will undoubtedly charm you. Written by John Hughes (Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Crazy Day), the film has the regressive and comforting spirit of good family films from the 90s. A little candy that will make you rediscover your child's soul. Note that the original 1947 film, with the very young Natalie Wood, is also available on Disney+.
