There is a genre that never fails at Christmas: romantic comedies. Yes, those movies in which you know perfectly well what is going to happen but even so we continue to see them every year, every December we get hooked on that movie session full of ornate shopping malls, ice rinks, Christmas carols and family reunions, fireplaces, cut roads, expected happy endings.
If you like this genre, we rounded up some of the best Christmas movies you can watch this weekend, the Christmas rom-coms that always come back when December rolls around and are always the perfect plan to take your mind off of it. Some of them are known to everyone and available on other platforms. Others, Netflix originals or Amazon Prime Video if you want to disconnect.

Emotional and beautiful, a classic from the nineties is “Something to remember”. Tom Hanks plays the architect Sam Baldwin.
