1. For Music and Glamour: White Christmas (1954)
This musical-comedy masterpiece is a COLUCCI favourite. Overflowing with style, glamour, and unforgettable songs, White Christmas stars Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye. Fun fact: it was the first film released in the widescreen VistaVision format, and Edith Head’s impeccable costume designs set the standard for holiday chic. Featuring timeless songs like “White Christmas,” it’s pure cinematic magic.
2. Laughs and Romance: Fitzwilly (1967)
Starring Dick Van Dyke, this clever con artist comedy is packed with wit and charm. Based on the novel A Garden of Cucumbers, the film’s zany schemes will keep you laughing from start to finish. Barbara Feldon adds a delightful touch of romance to this hidden gem.
3. Vintage Comedy: The Lemon Drop Kid (1951)
Bob Hope’s comedic timing shines in this feel-good adaptation of a Damon Runyon story. Did you know the classic Christmas song “Silver Bells” made its debut in this movie? Add to that Edith Head’s fabulous costumes, and you’ve got a holiday hit filled with laughs and heart.
4. Girl Power Fun: Say One for Me (1959)
With Bing Crosby’s legendary charm and Debbie Reynolds’ effervescent performance, this musical-comedy is a delightful celebration of love, ambition, and showbiz fun. Known as the "King of Christmas," Crosby brings his signature warmth to this festive film.
5. Office Party Charm: Desk Set (1957)
Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy light up the screen in this romantic comedy about the rise of computers—an issue that feels just as relevant today. Featuring charming Christmas party scenes and witty banter, Desk Set is the perfect choice for a festive laugh.
6. Old Hollywood Magic: Holiday Inn (1942)
A prequel inspiration to White Christmas, this film features Bing Crosby’s iconic voice and Fred Astaire’s dazzling dance moves. Fun fact: Astaire’s firecracker dance is one of the film’s standout moments. With 12 songs by Irving Berlin, including the original version of “White Christmas,” this charming tale of dreams and tradition is a holiday must-watch.
7. Santa’s Classic Tale: Miracle on 34th Street (1947)
This heartwarming classic won three Academy Awards, including Best Supporting Actor for Edmund Gwenn as Kris Kringle. Released in May (yes, May!) to maximize its audience, this film is a quintessential holiday favourite about believing in the magic of Santa Claus.
8. Sweet Romance: It Happened on 5th Avenue (1947)
A touching story about love, kindness, and generosity, this lesser-known gem was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Story. It’s a feel-good favourite perfect for an evening of festive cheer.
9. Glamorous Escapades: Christmas in Connecticut (1945)
Barbara Stanwyck shines as a food writer caught up in a comedic case of mistaken identity. With costumes by Edith Head, this film is a visual delight that balances humour, romance, and holiday charm in equal measure.
10. Whimsical Fantasy: Beyond Tomorrow (1940)
One of Hollywood’s earliest Christmas fantasy stories, this film blends romance with a spiritual message of love and kindness during the holidays. Originally titled And So Goodbye, it’s a beautiful tale that will leave you with a warm heart.
