Why are there so many Christmas movies out this year?
Newsy
There were at least 116 new Christmas movies released this year. Even QVC decided to make its own holiday movie.
If you flip on your television during the holidays, whether it be traditional television or through a streaming service, you are likely being bombarded with recommendations for various holiday-themed movies.
It's gotten to the point where even QVC, the channel that sells cookware and slippers on flexible payments, has come out with a Christmas movie.
But what makes these movies so popular?
Segun Oduolowu, host of the "Boston Globe Today," says many of these movies are aspirational.
"It's romance and it's heartfelt," he said. "The locations are like small-town America, and you watch them hoping that your Christmas or your holiday season will be like that. The way everyone is dressed, the houses, the interiors, the throw cushions on the couch, and you want that for your house.
