9 Reasons Why Love Actually Is The Best Christmas Movie Ever

via Giphy

During the holiday season, there’s nothing we love more than a movie night! It gives us the perfect excuse to watch the Christmas film that we secretly watch all year round anyway – Love Actually. It’s literally the ONLY film on our agenda; it gives us aaaall the festive feels and makes us all warm and fuzzy on the inside. So, break out the face masks, grab some gingerbread, and crack open the eggnog for the ultimate holiday night in. Even those of you who claim you don’t like Christmas, we swear if you watch this film, you’ll be singing Mariah, nonstop, for the next month. Here’s why…

1. The ICONIC opening scene is so uplifting because it reminds us of what is truly important in life – our nearest and dearest.

2. It’s real, it cuts out the BS and the fairytales, and it tells the true stories of life, love, and heartbreak.

3. The soundtrack makes us dance pretty much exactly like this:
