December 08, 2017 05:38 PM

Almost Christmas

Dec 17 10:00AM | Dec 24 12:40AM
Sometimes, Christmas miracles aren’t always grand scale snowfalls in summer or 180-degree character changes. For some, like this patriarch, it’s when the entire family manages to get along for 5 whole days. This holiday season, enjoy the #relatable ups and downs of Christmas family reunions in Almost Christmas.

Frozen

Dec 10 3:10PM | Dec 25 7:20PM
You’ve watched it in summer, now watch it winter. This Disney favourite is a shoe-in for our Christmas movie playlist, with its wintery, snowy magic and warm, fuzzy moments. Bond with the family with these sisters, and sing along to the memorable numbers over cups of hot cocoa.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Dec 16 9:00PM | Dec 17 4:50PM | Dec 19 9:00PM | Dec 20 3:20PM | Dec 24 6:45PM
Speaking of Christmas magic, make this month extra fantastical with the HBO Premiere of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them!

Pass the popcorn around the family couch for this #SatNightPremiere

Sing

Dec 9 9:00PM | Dec 10 4:50PM | Dec 12 7:10PM | Dec 13 3:10PM | Dec 17 3:00PM

Kubo and the Two Strings

Dec 6 5:45PM | Dec 7 8:00AM | Dec 30 4:00PM | Dec 31 9:05AM

Matilda

Dec 19 7:55AM | Dec 21 5:30PM | Dec 31 6:00AM
Here’s a family classic. The story of an incredibly brilliant and gifted little girl, who goes out of the pan and straight into the fire, with neglectful parents sending her to a gloomy institution, with stereotypical wicked grown-ups, but finds comfort in the wonderful Miss Honey. A treat for the kids, and a throwback for the 90s kids to bond over during Christmas reunions.

Cat in the Hat

Dec 17 8:50AM | Dec 24 9:55AM | Dec 29 3:05PM
Sunday mornings this Holiday brings to life the iconic Cat in the Hat from children’s classic storybooks. Dr. Seuss’s mischievous cat is back to turn naughty kids to nice right in time for Christmas – plus good ol’ life lessons fit for all ages.

Other epic titles to watch out for:

For the more action and thrills-seeking family, don’t worry – there’s also a lot of great movies this December sure to sate your thirst for blood-pumping adventure.

Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice

Dec 25 9:00PM | Dec 26 12:15PM
It’s all about distinguishing the real enemies and recognizing allies for the same cause in Batman vs. Superman. HBO brings you Dawn of Justice filled with actions of super epic proportions, perfect for some post-Christmas feast couch-sitting session.

Superman Returns

Dec 25 9:00PM | Dec 26 12:15PM
December Holidays is pretty much reunion and homecoming season, and in this version of Superman, Clark Kent comes back down to Earth as well. Only to find, like most people who return after a long period of time, that some things have changed. But like in family reunions, there will always be that some common ground to find – like watching this movie as a family.

Ant-Man

Dec 25 9:00PM | Dec 26 12:15PM
Trying to change from naughty to nice, Scott Lang finds it’s not such an easy task, especially when he’s told that to be the hero his daughter perceives him to be, he must do some not-so-nice (or even legal) things. But most parents will #relate when Lang tries his best to become the hero his daughter deserves as he takes on the persona of Ant-Manthis Christmas on HBO.

Avengers: Age of Ultron

Dec 4 10:30PM | Dec 7 6:40PM
Sometimes, your well-intentioned ideas end up going awry when put into action – like, say, getting the entire family matching tacky Christmas shirts emblazoned with the family name and bright Christmas-y cheer. Or, like when Tony Stark jump-starts a peace-keeping program which then turns rogue and decides all human beings are on the naughty-list and need to be eliminated.

Star Trek Beyond

Dec 25 9:00PM | Dec 26 12:15PM
Sometimes, the family goes on a holiday trip abroad or Christmas shopping in Greenhills, and somewhere along the way, you get separated. This is kind of what happens in the best-reviewed action movie of the year, Star Trek Beyond – except, it happens in outer space, on the farthest reaches of the galaxy, involving aliens and possible wars of intergalactic proportions.

There’s plenty to watch on HBO this Christmas, and what better way to bond with the family than with these movie sessions over a bowl of popcorn or leftovers from Noche Buena, and HBO HD on SKY!
