Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause
Tim Allen is back as Santa and this time his wife is due to give birth around the same time as Christmas. Not only has he got those problems, he also has to deal with Jack Frost (Martin Short) who not only has designs on taking over being Santa, he actually manages it and changes the dynamic of Christmas by monetizing every aspect of Christmas, therefore he has to find a way to defeat Frost and take back being Santa. I've always considered this to be the weakest of the trilogy but it's better than other Xmas movies, the sets always get me in the festive spirit and more than likely will re-watch the series for Christmas.
Deck The Halls
Matthew Broderick is the king of Christmas in his town but when Danny DeVito decides to take over by lighting his house so it can be seen from Space, a rivalry is born. Not great but not bad, worth breaking out once a year.
Office Christmas Party
TJ Miller is the goof who is in charge of a branch of a company who throws the best Office Christmas Party ever in order to win a deal which would save his branch after his Sister (Jennifer Aniston) threatens to close it down. Jason Bateman and Olivia Munn co-star in this silly but a rather entertaining under-rated film, which is a nice change of pace after watch a lot of family friendly Xmas movies. Jennifer Aniston has had a few Rom-Com roles but like in Horrible Bosses 1 & 2, she excels has the mean woman in charge roles.
