This week, it’s a mix of everything – heartwarming family films and those older, slightly edgier comedies that just never get old. Here’s a rundown of what’s currently trending on the platform.

‘Straight Outta Compton’ (2015)

In the mid-1980s, five young men from Compton rose to prominence, transforming music and popular culture. As they navigated the challenges of the music industry, they faced pressure from those in power and law enforcement.

It’s a heartwarming and funny look back at what it was like to be a kid during the holidays in the 1940s, capturing all the excitement and worries of the season.

‘National Lampoon”s Christmas Vacation’ (1989)

I’ve always loved watching Clark Griswold try so hard to give his family the best Christmas ever, even though everything always goes wrong! He just wants a classic, peaceful holiday, but it’s constantly derailed – first by relatives showing up unexpectedly, and then by a complete nightmare with the Christmas lights. Things get really stressful when he doesn’t get the holiday bonus he’s counting on. Honestly, it all spirals into total chaos, ending with a SWAT team and his boss being…well, let’s just say things get taken hostage. It’s a disaster, but a hilarious one!

Scott Calvin, a divorced dad, accidentally makes Santa Claus fall off his roof on Christmas Eve. When he puts on Santa’s suit, he unknowingly takes on the job of being Santa. Over the next year, he magically changes – gaining weight and growing a white beard. Now, Scott has to prove to his family, who are very doubtful, that he really is the new Santa Claus.

‘Home Alone 2: Lost in New York’ (1992)

He cleverly uses his father’s credit card to check into the fancy Plaza Hotel and enjoy a comfortable stay.

‘Home Alone’ (1990)
