It’s time for a table full of food and laughter with the big game playing in the background, exchanging presents with the people you love the most, and cozy nights inside. It’s also the time to watch movies with the fam-bam! I’ve said this before, but I’ll keep on saying it: I really love movies that represent the Black community. From small-budget indies to major motion pictures, anything that tells a diverse story about the Black experience is on my watch list. And that includes seasonal fare. Thankfully, there are a good number of Black family films to watch during the holidays that’ll entertain you and yours all December through.
Between Thanksgiving and Christmas is the best time to watch or rewatch movies like This Christmas, Almost Christmas, The Preacher’s Wife, and The Best Man Holiday. To be clear, there still aren’t enough holiday films featuring families of color, but hopefully new releases like The Holiday Calendar on Netflix mean that there are even more to come in 2019. Meanwhile when we do get a family-centric piece of festive entertainment about our experience, we have to take note. So, go ahead: gather your loved ones and check out these great holiday films, all streaming now:
This Christmas centers on the Whitfield family, who are all finally gathering for the holidays for the first time in four years.
