1. 12 Gifts Of Christmas
Starring: Katrina Law, Aaron O’Connell and Donna Mills
Story: Anna Russo - Katrina Law is an unemployed fine arts painter, who is unable to make ends meet, she is hired to become a personal Christmas shopper for Marc - Aaron O'Connell, an uptight corporate executive. As they begin working together, Marc learns that Christmas giving has less to do with the amount of money spent and more to do with the importance of the gift, while Anna discovers that she might find success as an artist in a way she never expected. The best gift of all, is of course the love they discover with one another while working together.
Review: According to me this movie is one of the best for Christmas season. It has some comedy and the romance one needs during the White Christmas. This movie can be watched as a family, as a couple or all alone with warm chocolate.

2. Christmas Detour
Starring: Candace Cameron Bure, Paul Green and Sarah Strange
Story: Radiant Bride magazine writer, Paige Summerland (Candace Cameron Bure),
boards a flight to New York City on her way to meet her wealthy "soulmate"
fiancé and future in-laws. Her romantic optimism leaves her convinced that her
upcoming wedding to Jack Collins (Marcus Rosner) is destined to be as perfect
as her picture-perfect magazine articles and her "vision board", with
photos reflecting her life goals. She sits next to Dylan MacKenzie (Paul Greene), a
cynical unromantic bartender who is traveling to see his family for the first
time in four years—a reunion he is not looking forward to. Due to a heavy
snowstorm, their flight is rerouted to Buffalo, New York.
They take a shuttle bus to the Buffalo Airport Hotel, where she is assigned an
adjoining room next to Dylan.
Convinced that a
flight will shortly be leaving to New York, Paige heads back to the airport
terminal, where she befriends a married couple, Frank and Maxine, whose
twenty-year marriage seems less than ideal. Unfortunately, the snow storm has
turned north and completely closed down Buffalo for at least two days, making a
"perfect Christmas" at the in-laws look very unlikely. Dylan pulls up
in a four-wheel drive SUV and offers her, Maxine, and Frank a
ride to New York. As they make their way along the back roads of upstate New
York, the snowstorm forces them to stop at a small town, where they spend
their Christmas Eve at the Tannenbaum Inn. Paige
and Dylan get to know each other and talk about Dylan's former fiancée, who
left him for his own brother.
That evening at a
local pub, after Frank and Maxine rediscover their love for each other and take
to the dance floor, Dylan invites Paige to dance, but she feels uncomfortable
with her new-found friendship with Dylan and walks away. Later they walk to the
town center, where she admits that while she dreamed all her life of spending
the perfect Christmas with someone like Jack, this Christmas with Dylan indeed
seems right, and they kiss beneath the mistletoe.
Disturbed be her feelings for Dylan, Paige leaves early the following morning
hitchhiking a ride alone with a truck driver, who takes her all the way to New
York City. Meanwhile, Dylan drives Frank and Maxine to their house in
Connecticut, where Maxine reveals that Paige will be having dinner with her
fiancé and in-laws at the Glen Rock Country Club.
After returning to his
mother's home and reconciling with his brother and ex-fiancé, Dylan drives to
Glen Rock and delivers Paige's "vision board", but includes a photo
of Paige and Dylan together. Realizing that she is in love with Dylan, she
returns her engagement ring to Jack, and follows after Dylan. Sometime later,
Dylan and Paige arrive at his mother's loving home to spend Christmas together.
Review: According to me this movie has a very good story which shows that when women get to the age to marry they accept the first proposal that come their way without really knowing if it is the right one or not. It also shows how a lady consoles herself by constantly saying that 'he is the one' or 'he is my soulmate'. Most women are in love with their dream wedding than their dream men. Certainly a movie that gets you thinking..!!

3. A Royal Christmas
Starring: Lacey Chabert, Stephen Hagan and Jane Seymour
Story: Emily Taylor (Lacey Chabert) is a humble and kindhearted seamstress devoted to her family's business in Philadelphia. She is also in love with her European boyfriend Leo James (Stephen Hagan). As the Christmas season approaches, Leo reveals that he is in fact Prince Leopold, heir to the throne of a small sovereign country called Cordinia, which is loosely based on Monaco. He takes Emily back to his country for the Christmas holidays and introduces her to his mother Isadora, Queen of Cordinia (Jane Seymour), who disapproves of the young American immediately. Wanting her son to marry a duchess named Natasha—Leo's ex-girlfriend—whom she finds more suitable than a commoner, the Queen goes out of her way to make Emily feel unwelcome at their castle.
Emily tries to adapt to her new royal surroundings, but feels more comfortable with the castle's butlers and housemaids than she does with her boyfriend's royal family and friends. While in town with Leopold buying Christmas Trees, Emily befriends Poppy, a little orphan girl. Emily is then befriended by Galina, the Baroness of Newbury who she later finds out used to be a commoner like herself. Galina also takes to Poppy right away. The conflict comes to a head when the scheming Queen secretly invites the duchess to the castle for Christmas. With the help of the head butler Victor (Simon Dutton), Emily is schooled in etiquette and then makes a grand entrance at the Christmas ball in a dress she designed herself out of the Queen's old gown. Her happiness is cut short, however, when the Queen discovers her talking with two of the kitchen staff whom she fires immediately. Later, when Leo proposes marriage, Emily, realizing she doesn't fit in, turns down his offer and returns to America.
Sometime later, the Queen realizes all the hurt she's caused and remembers her feelings of love for Victor, whose love she rejected years earlier because he was a commoner. Looking to make up for the hurt that she caused, the Queen accompanies her son and Victor to Philadelphia and watches as Leo proposes once again—and this time Emily accepts. The movie ends with Leopold and Emily's wedding with Poppy in attendance with the Baron and Baroness of Newbury who have presumably adopted her.
