Here are the five must-watch movies on Amazon Prime Video for Christmas Eve 2020.

The Night Before Christmas

Let’s start with the movie for the whole family. You may have a tradition of reading the book before bed, but what about the 1946 movie that shows the tale play out?

It’s a great way to get the kids ready for the following day. You also remind them that they need to sleep or Santa won’t come. So, throw this on with the hot chocolate and then say it’s bedtime.

Surviving Christmas

Need a comedy while you’re wrapping gifts? Ben Affleck and Christina Applegate have your back with Surviving Christmas.

The movie follows Affleck’s Drew, who leads an empty life. It’s all about money for him. Well, it was until he realizes he doesn’t want to spend another Christmas alone. So, he decides to offer money to an annoying visitor who wants to celebrate the big day.

The Christmas Candle

Prefer something festive with a period setting? One of the must-watch movies on Amazon Prime Video has to be The Christmas Candle starring Hans Matheson and Samantha Barks.

Matheson is a minister in 19th-century England who wants to modernize his village. However, the people living there aren’t interested in that. They believe that whoever lights the candle an angel touched will receive a miracle on Christmas Eve. What is really the case behind the story?

Hometown Christmas

For those who love Hallmark Christmas movies, there are a few streaming on Amazon Prime Video. One of them for Christmas Eve is Hometown Christmas.

The plot is pretty standard for Hallmark. A woman wants to resurrect her hometown’s Nativity scene, which her late mother used to be a part of. When her high school sweetheart is the man to help her, feels start to resurface.

Christmas Eve

How about a movie aptly named Christmas Eve? This doesn’t have many reviews on Amazon, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth watching.

It’s a heartfelt story of a man who works three jobs just to make ends meet in Brooklyn, New York. It’s a hard life, but one that he continually grafts away at. One night, a stranger offers him a break from the routine, showing that there’s still humanity wherever you look in life.
