Why wouldn't you love Christmas? Time united as a family, a chance to find romance under the mistletoe, snow falling outside as you wrap yourself up with a hot chocolate and Miracle on 34th Street.

Welp.

When the weather is cold, the fire is burning and you've had too many mince pies, what better winter activity than to curl up with a festive read? Turn off the TV and pick up on of these Christmassy books, all you need to do is make the hot chocolate!

Last year, I reported on how I felt 2014 marked the establishment of the New Wave of Christmas adverts with more adverts than ever with short form narratives and touching productions rather than flashing price tags and undulating images of products.

From the archive: I think it's fair to say Christmas isn't all fun and games when it comes to films.
