Ok, I know Christmas is over and we should have moved on by now, but we’ve been really busy, so this week we bring you the 1996 Arnold Schwarzenegger family classic Jingle All the Way.
Arnie stars as Howard Langston, a man who has become so obsessed with his job as a mattress salesman he neglects his family and everyone is super mad at him about it. Everything will be forgiven if he remembers to pick up a Turbo Man action figure, but of course he doesn’t, and this leads to him beating up Christmas and Sinbad all over town.
This is a completely ridiculous movie, and has randomly become one of my favourite holiday films to watch with a bunch of friends. It’s so hilarious I bet it’s still worth watching long after Christmas is over when you’re flopped out on your couch, staring at the dusty tree that you should have taken down weeks ago. Enjoy!

i was in a hotel room in chicago years ago and this movie was randomly on cable, in the middle of july. clearly it has year-long appeal.
