5 movies to watch on Prime Video instead of the Ball Drop

The Man Who Invented Christmas

We may be past Christmas now, but that doesn’t mean you’re not still trying to keep the feeling. Well, you can do that with The Man Who Invented Christmas.

You know the story of Scrooge. Well, it’s time to find out more about the man who created the character. Yes, this movie goes into the world of Charles Dickens, looking at a fictional telling of how he came up with the character and the story of the Three Ghosts of Christmas.

This is a PG movie. Why not put it on early on New Year’s Eve for the kids to enjoy as well. Next Christmas, you can watch a version of A Christmas Carol with a little more meaning behind it.
