The Ultimate BLAC Family-Friendly Holiday Film List

While there are classic films that we like to all watch during the holidays, these Christmas movies are on my favorite list of Christmas movies because they feature family-friendly, romantic, and comedic Black storylines. Whether the main character is looking for love for the holidays or the villain who has grown to hate the Christmas season, these Black feel-good-inside Holiday movies feature some of our favorite Black actors including Michael Jackson, Nia Long, Tamala Jones, Queen Latifah, Morris Chestnut, Tia Mowry, Diana Ross, and even Smokey Robinson.

Grab some popcorn and egg nog and watch BLAC‘s ultimate family-friendly holiday film list.
