Accepted (2006) - The College Christmas Spirit
Kicking off our list is a Christmas movie that might not scream "holidays" from the get-go, but hear us out! Accepted is a hilarious tale of friendship, perseverance, and, yes, even Christmas spirit. Justin plays the lovable slacker, Bartleby Gaines, who, with his friends, creates a fake university to avoid their post-graduation blues.

Fun fact: Accepted was actually released in August, but who says Christmas can't happen in the summer?
Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007) - Christmas with a Nutty Twist
Now, let's talk about a movie that's as nutty as a Christmas fruitcake - Alvin and the Chipmunks. Justin voices Dave Seville, the kind-hearted and slightly exasperated adoptive father of the mischievous chipmunk trio. The first movie in the series features a delightful Christmas scene where the chipmunks perform their classic Christmas tune, "Christmas Don't Be Late," in a mall. It's a fun, family-friendly flick that'll have you singing along with the little rascals.
Die Hard 2 (2013) - A Yippie Ki-Yay Christmas
Alright, guys, it's time to get serious... and by serious, we mean action-packed and awesome! Die Hard 2 (yes, you read that right) might not seem like a Christmas movie at first, but bear with us. The movie, also known as "A Good Day to Die Hard," is set during Christmas time, and even features a yuletide-themed car chase through the streets of Moscow. Justin plays a young version of Bruce Willis' character, John McClane, in a flashback scene. It's not your typical Christmas movie, but it's certainly an explosive addition to our list!

Now, let's talk about a Christmas movie that's as naughty as it is nice - Bad Santa 2. Justin joins the cast of this raunchy comedy as Thurman Merman, a wealthy and eccentric businessman who hires Billy Bob Thornton's character, Willie Soke, for a heist. The movie is filled with Christmas cheer (and chaos), from a wild Christmas party to a memorable Christmas Eve heist. It's not your average holiday flick, but it's a hilarious and entertaining watch nonetheless.
The Defiant Ones (2019) - A Christmas Tale of Friendship
