Alice's Top Eight Christmas Movies Like Ever!

Seasons greetings! 

December is upon us and for most of us that means Christmas is near! ASDFGHJKL! *exhales slowly to try and calm down* I am SO excited! I mean autumn is my favourite season but Christmas is my favourite time.

And what is Christmas with out Christmas movies? If you are stuck for which one to watch (first) then let me enlighten you with my top eight Christmas movies like ever.

1. The Grinch 

 

This list is in no particular order but the Grinch is hands down my all time favourite Christmas movie. I am a big fan of both Jim Carrey and Christmas (duh) so put them together and you get a very happy Alice. It's hilarious for all ages and just Christmas-y as is perfect to put you in that festive mood. I absolute love it. And not going to lie, it's the 4th of December and I've already watched it twice so far. I could also probably quote the whole movie ;)

2. The polar express

 

When I was in year 5 ( EIGHT years ago!) we had a polar express day at school. Everyone would come to school in their pyjamas we'd make golden tickets, drink hot chocolate (with marshmallow and cream) and watch The Polar Express. It was great, although the volume must have been turned down or the class must of been loud because for years I thought it was a silent movie. It's not if you were wondering. This film is full of Christmas magic and is all about believing in Santa. The soundtrack alone makes me feel all fuzzy inside. It's SO magical! So what are you waiting for? Grabs so family or friends or even your pet fish, get into your PJ's, get some hot chocolate and have a polar express night! (I'm actually watching it as I type this)

3. Home Alone

 You don't have to really like Christmas to like home alone, it's just set at Christmas time. It's funny family entertainment without the family and a must watch for this season. It will make you really appreciate your family and worry you every time you go somewhere with them that they'll forget you. They haven't yet, don't worry aha.

4. The Nightmare Before Christmas

   

This is Halloween quite an alternative Christmas film and you can watch it at Halloween and Christmas so if you're not into the traditional Christmas movies this might tickle your peach. it's also made by Tim Burton who is one of my favourite directors so that's just another reason to watch it!

5. A Muppet Christmas Carols

 

I love the "Christmas carol" story anyway (even the book is bearable despite how old it is) but I especially love the Muppet version. Don't get me wrong, the new Tim Burton one is great but this one is so nostalgic to me. It's magical, funny and all about the spirit of Christmas. I need to watch it soon!

6. Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in a the house of mouse

This is another nostalgic one. I used to have it on video when I when I was little and watched it every chrism as. I pretty sure Walt Disney introduces it in the beginning.. could be getting that mixed up with another though, it was something Christmas. This is a group of several tale, all very heart warming and pure Disney magic. my favourite one being the Christmas carol story. Another great this about this one is all the Disney character are in it! Disney knows how to do Christmas right.

7. Barbie in the Nutcracker

 

 I know what you're probably thinking: Alice, you're 17! Why are you watching Barbie? Why? because it's great, that's why. No matter how old I get, I'm still going to love the films. They were a big part of mine and my sister's childhoods' (I totally watch the new ones too haha one of my favourites being the three musketeers). Anyway, this is a great Christmas film and also nostalgic like the rest. It's just beautiful okay and the sugar plum princess is just goals.

8. The Santa Clause

 

Would it be Christmas without this movie? Not really. I love the concept of this movie. It's filled with magic, LOLs and Christmas goodness. What more can I say? Now go forth and watch it! ;)

Now excuse me, I have a lot films to watch!

Alice's Top Eight Christmas Movies Like Ever!

Fairytale Lookbook: Chapter 1~ Maleficent "Mistress of Darkness"

 

Apologises for the super long title and not gonna lie, it took me like ten minutes to find the "~" turns out it's next to the hashtag :)

Anywho, well this happened.. I got super bored on my day off and turned myself into a Maleficent. I think my mum worries about me now...

I'm going to make this into a series type thing so whenever boredom strikes I can look super fabulous and part of a fairytale, as you do aha. This series is inspired by quite a few things; "The Isle of The Lost" and "Disney Descendants" which is a book I just read and then the film is the follow on from it. They were quite too, they are about the descendants of Disney characters and the story is set in the modern day so it was cool to look at a modern take on the characters and hence one of the reasons I wanted to do this. You'll be able to find the book at most book shops (even the book section in tesco) or order it from amazon and the film is on Disney channel :) Another inspiration was once upon a time which is a series of fairytale characters being trapped in the modern world and it's just amazing. I'm rubbish at explaining things so just watch it and fall in love with captain hook yourself *swoons* also just my love for fairy tales alone was enough inspiration.

I was quite chuffed with my efforts with this, it turned out way better then I thought I was capable of- except for the eyeliner, that was a lost cause *sigh* but such is life.

Also when I was uploading these I accidentally deleted most the pictures from my camera before they had fully downloaded *cry and cry some more* so I only had three and then some I'd taken off my phone so sorry some of the good ones are lost *cry a little more* 

But here's what I turned out like..

Believe it or not, I genuinely have friends haha.

For her makeup I did a smokey eye with green on the lid and fade out into purple right up to my brow bone. I attempted to contour like her but it didn't quite work the way I imagined it. I also attempted to do winged eyeliner.. for the lips I used a red lipstick like she wears in the film and I also ran black eyeshadow through my eyebrows.

for the outfit it just wore black clothes like my kimono to try and mimic her cape and for the head I couldn't find any horns in my house so instead I used my black towel wrap and stuck a pick of felt up it to copy the shape of her hat :)

All in all it's not perfect but it sure was fun to do and next I think I'll do snow white (I may of ordered a black wig hehe)

Well that's all folks!

Thank you for reading, I hope you found it somewhat entertaining ^.^

Please leave suggestions in the comments

I hope you have a super fantastic day,

bye!
