10 Non-Christmassy Christmas Films To Watch At Christmas

7. Iron Man 3

The Chronicles of Narnia
Marvel Studios

It seems that the requirement to make it onto this list is that a movie needs to be family-friendly and exciting - and few other film franchises can proudly hold these two claims more than the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

With over 20 films in the franchise, it would have been easy to fill this whole list up with MCU movies. One Marvel movie that particularly captures the spirit of Christmas without it actually being a Christmas movie, however, is Iron Man 3.

Being the last film in the Iron Man trilogy, it would be easy to say that this movie can't be enjoyed on its own and you'd need to see all the previous movies that came before it. I disagree, as the story of Tony Stark and his battle with his PTSD and being so attached to the Iron Man name and suit is worth your time. Tony's on-screen relationship with his new best friend, Harley is also very heart-warming and suits the whole Christmas vibe down to the ground.
