Christmas comes but once a year – but by golly, if we aren’t going to do our best to make it last as long as possible.

With less than three weeks to go until the big day, if you haven’t plunged yourself sufficiently deep into the pool of festive mirth, then you’re really running the risk of being called ‘Scrooge’ at some point in the next few days.

Fortunately, to aid you in your quest to adopt a suitably mirth-filled attitude, we’ve compiled five trailers for upcoming or recently released movies. Some are drenched in the holiday spirit, whilst others will give you a chance to escape the endless carolling and enjoy a bit of festive-free fun.

At the very least, these trailers will give you something to fill the awkward silences around the dinner table with when the festive feast begins. Jingle all the way!
