Snow White: The Fairest of Them All
2001 · 93 min★ 5.7Weirdness 10/10Not your kids' Snow White. This 2001 retelling opens with a grieving father freeing a demonic wish-granter from a block of ice, and the queen (Miranda Richardson) was originally a hideous creature with multiple eyes. There are gnomes named after the days of the week who conjure weather and rainbows, and a mirror shard physically lodged in a man's eye to enchant him. A young Kristin Kreuk and Vera Farmiga feature. Weirdness 10. Genuinely dark, properly strange, and unlike anything else under this banner. Rated 5.7.
- 2

Journey Back to Christmas
2016 · 84 min★ 7.0Weirdness 10/10A WWII nurse (Candace Cameron Bure) is carried from 1945 to 2016 by a rare Christmas comet, then has to navigate a world full of things like gluten-free toothpaste. Weirdness 10. The supernatural hook is a comet acting as a time machine, plus a quiet realization about how her kindnesses rippled forward through the years. Tom Skerritt co-stars. Rated 7 over 3,500 votes. A comet as fate, played completely earnestly, and all the better for it.

A Shoe Addict's Christmas
2018 · 85 min★ 6.5Weirdness 10/10Noelle (Candace Cameron Bure) gets locked in a department store overnight and meets Charlie, a guardian-angel-in-training who openly says she's bad at her job and uses magical shoes to walk Noelle through her own past, present, and possible futures. Weirdness 10. Jean Smart and Luke Macfarlane co-star. It's A Christmas Carol staged in a shoe department, and it fully commits. Rated 6.5. Angels, magic, and time-hops all at once.
- 4

Next Stop, Christmas
2021 · 84 min★ 7.0Weirdness 10/10A lonely neurosurgeon (Lyndsy Fonseca) boards her usual commuter train and it turns into a magic train that drops her in her hometown in 2011. Weirdness 10. The ticket agent is essentially a Christmas wizard, and the film runs on full Back-to-the-Future logic. Christopher Lloyd and Lea Thompson appear, which feels entirely deliberate. Rated 7. Supernatural by public transit, and sincerely done.
- 5

Just in Time for Christmas
2015 · 96 min★ 6.4Weirdness 10/10A psychology professor (Eloise Mumford) takes a carriage ride, the horse is named Mistletoe, and lands three years in the future to see what chasing the dream job really costs. Weirdness 10. The Northern Lights become a portal in a suburban park, and both Christopher Lloyd and William Shatner turn up. The supernatural messenger and the carriage are pure magic-as-plot-device, and the film leans all the way in. Rated 6.4.
- 6

A Fabled Holiday
2022 · 84 min★ 6.6Weirdness 10/10Two childhood friends (Brooke D'Orsay and Ryan Paevey) wind up in Wunderbrook, a village that seems to exist only inside a fairy-tale book they loved as kids. Weirdness 10. The town is a literal pocket dimension where residents are assigned roles like "The Witch" and "The Fool" to give therapy to visitors, and a magical chime sounds whenever someone heals. Rated 6.6. A bookish, dreamlike premise that's far stranger than its cozy poster lets on.
- 7

It's Christmas, Carol!
2012 · 87 min★ 5.8Weirdness 10/10A ruthless publishing exec nicknamed "Stalin in Stilettos" (Emmanuelle Vaugier) gets the Scrooge treatment, with the ghost of her dead boss turning up in a restroom stall and a staff plotting an actual revolution. Weirdness 10. Carrie Fisher co-stars. It blends ghosts and a past-present-future journey, and the small details, the "Board of Correctors," the chanting employees, are what tip it over the edge. Rated 5.8, but the audacity is sky-high.
- 8

A Kismet Christmas
2022 · 84 min★ 6.6Weirdness 10/10A children's book author (Sarah Ramos) returns home and learns a family legend, that a magical cookie recipe can predict your true love, might actually be true. Weirdness 10. There's a "Moon Boat" van, the concept of "gateway jewelry," and a supposed bear attack that turns out to be a small black dog named Boomer. Marilu Henner co-stars. Rated 6.6. Supernatural baking as romantic destiny, which is a very Hallmark sentence to get to write.
- 9

Five More Minutes: Moments Like These
2022 · 84 min★ 6.8Weirdness 10/10A young widow (Ashley Williams) returns to her former home for Christmas, and a holiday wish gets answered in an unexpected, supernatural way. Weirdness 10. Inspired by Scotty McCreery's song "Five More Minutes," it folds magic and a brush with the beyond into a story about a family home and second chances. Lucas Bryant co-stars. Rated 6.8. A gentle tear-jerker that earns its high weirdness through its central wish more than any spectacle.
- 10

Inventing the Christmas Prince
2022 · 84 min★ 6.7Weirdness 10/10A rocket engineer and single mom (Tamera Mowry-Housley) blackmails her cold boss into pretending to be the mythical "Christmas Prince" after her daughter spots a telltale birthmark on him. Weirdness 10. So you get high-stakes aerospace engineering colliding with magical wish-fulfillment, plus an improvised North Pole story involving Godzilla and a reindeer plague. Ronnie Rowe co-stars. Rated 6.7. A wonderfully odd mashup of orbital mechanics and Santa lore.
- 11

The Night Before the Night Before Christmas
2010 · 88 min★ 5.6Weirdness 10/10Santa sets off a day early, crashes onto a work-obsessed Milwaukee family's roof, loses his memory and his magic sack, and ends up parked on their couch like a stray pet. Weirdness 10. There's a head elf named Nigel Thumb who brawls with a festival security guard, reindeer hidden in a suburban backyard all day, and a magic word that turns out to be Mrs. Claus's name. Jennifer Beals co-stars. Rated 5.6. A frantic family fantasy that throws everything at the wall.
- 12

The Wishing Well
2009 · 90 min★ 6.1Weirdness 10/10A big-city reporter (Jordan Ladd) rolls into a small town to mock its legendary wishing well, tosses in a coin half as a joke, and wishes to be happy. Then magic happens. Weirdness 10. Ernest Borgnine and Sally Kellerman feature. The premise is pure wish-fulfillment fairy tale, a skeptic undone by the very thing she came to laugh at, and our database logs nothing past the setup, so I'll leave it right there. Rated 6.1.
- 13

Santa Tell Me
2024 · 83 minWeirdness 10/10Olivia (Erin Krakow) finds an old letter from Santa promising she'll meet the love of her life by Christmas Eve, and that his name will be Nick, then promptly meets not one but three guys named Nick. Weirdness 10. It blends a wish-magic premise with a real-Santa wrinkle, and Daniel Lissing co-stars. No IMDb rating logged yet. A delightfully literal "be careful what Santa promises" setup that turns dating into a guessing game.
- 14

Catch Me If You Claus
2023 · 84 minWeirdness 10/10An aspiring news anchor (Italia Ricci) catches a home intruder in a red suit who claims to be Santa's son, and ties him up with Christmas garland. Weirdness 10. The sleigh is described as a vehicle that "functions outside of linear time and space," Santa's son uses a flip phone as the latest North Pole tech, and a corrupt mayor sends a hitman after a flash drive. Luke Macfarlane co-stars. No rating logged yet. A screwball Santa caper, fully unhinged.
- 15

Where Are You, Christmas?
2023 · 84 minWeirdness 10/10A burnt-out Christmas marketing exec (Lyndsy Fonseca) wishes the holiday would just disappear, then wakes in a grayscale world where she's the only one who remembers it. Weirdness 10. The film actually shoots most of its runtime in black and white, Pleasantville-style, with color returning as people heal. A creepy marketing app with a robotic Santa voice plays the monkey's paw. Michael Rady co-stars. No rating logged yet. A bold visual gimmick wrapped around a wish gone wrong.
- 16

Christmas at Pemberley Manor
2018 · 86 min★ 6.3Weirdness 9/10A high-flying New York event planner (Jessica Lowndes) is sent to a small town to organize its Christmas festival, with a billionaire (Michael Rady) and a touch of the genuinely magical in the mix. Weirdness 9. The supernatural element is subtle, a "Santa is real" thread and a Christmas miracle, set against a Pemberley-flavored backdrop. Rated 6.3 over nearly 3,000 votes. Gentler than the chaos above it, but it still tips into the magical.
- 17

Family for Christmas
2015 · 85 min★ 6.2Weirdness 9/10A career-driven reporter (Lacey Chabert) chats with a mall Santa, then wakes up married to her college sweetheart with two kids and a dog she's never met. Weirdness 9. The magical Santa is amusingly unhelpful, more or less telling her to figure it out herself while ringing a bell, and she spends the first day not even knowing her own dog's name. Tyron Leitso co-stars. Rated 6.2 over more than 2,800 votes. A what-if life swap with a wry supernatural shrug.
- 18

A Kiss Before Christmas
2021 · 83 min★ 7.0Weirdness 9/10An ethical project manager (James Denton) makes a wish to a mysterious Santa at a train station and wakes up as a wealthy, ruthless CEO with no family. Weirdness 9. There's a ticking-clock twist where he starts losing the memories of his children, plus a high-tech coffee machine that holds conversations with him. Teri Hatcher co-stars, reuniting two Desperate Housewives leads. Rated 7. A wish-magic life swap with a sharper, more bittersweet edge than most.
- 19

I'm Not Ready for Christmas
2015 · 84 min★ 6.0Weirdness 9/10An ad exec (Alicia Witt) who lies constantly gets hit with a Christmas curse, courtesy of her niece's wish to Santa, that forces her to speak only the truth out loud. Weirdness 9. Cue professional chaos, including her honest opinion of rental skates that smell like corned beef and cabbage, and her hands physically patting her down for money she doesn't have. Rated 6 over more than 2,200 votes. A Liar Liar premise filtered through a mall Santa, and a lot of fun for it.
- 20

Magical Christmas Ornaments
2017 · 90 min★ 6.3Weirdness 9/10A 9 on the weirdness scale, for a premise that runs on enchanted decor. Marie, a jaded New York editor who has lost her Christmas spirit, starts receiving her childhood ornaments in the mail from her mother, and each one she hangs seems to summon a small miracle into her life. Meanwhile she's stuck editing her ex-boyfriend's tell-all book about their breakup. The ornaments work like literal plot coupons, which is exactly the kind of straight-faced magic I'm here for. Rated 6.3. How the spell pays off is left under the tree.
- 21

Christmas in Evergreen: Tidings of Joy
2019 · 85 min★ 6.5Weirdness 9/10A skeptical writer (Maggie Lawson) comes to Evergreen to expose the town's over-the-top Christmas obsession while hunting for a long-lost time capsule. Weirdness 9. The Evergreen films run on a quiet "Santa is real" magic and a snow globe that keeps bending the weather, and this entry keeps the wish-fulfillment humming under the cocoa. Paul Greene and Jill Wagner feature. Rated 6.5. The astonishment here is how straight it plays the magic while pretending to be a debunking story.
- 22

Love Always, Santa
2016 · 84 min★ 6.7Weirdness 9/10A grieving girl writes to Santa asking for her widowed mother to find love again, and the letter lands on the desk of a struggling author who answers it. Weirdness 9. Here's the detail I love: the writer works for "Santa Inc.," a professional ghostwriting service for Santa letters, which is somehow both cynical and sincere at once. Marguerite Moreau leads. Rated 6.7. A pen-pal romance built on a small piece of holiday machinery you never knew you needed.
- 23

Rip in Time
2022 · 84 min★ 6.7Weirdness 9/10An organic farmer (Torrey DeVitto) finds a man in her barn who claims to be from 1789, and the wild part is that the evidence keeps backing him up. Weirdness 9. He's the literal son of Rip Van Winkle, eats raw turnips as his first modern meal, and the film reaches for actual quantum physics to explain the "time tear." Niall Matter co-stars. Rated 6.7. A fish-out-of-time romance that fully commits to its own preposterous lore.
- 24

A Nashville Christmas Carol
2020 · 84 min★ 6.3Weirdness 9/10A workaholic Nashville TV producer (Jessy Schram) gets a visit from her recently deceased mentor, who warns her that her current path leads somewhere dark. Weirdness 9. It's A Christmas Carol with a country-music engine: the Spirit of Christmas Past is a singer, and Wynonna Judd and Sara Evans turn up. Wes Brown co-stars. Rated 6.3. A ghostly redemption story that swaps clanking chains for guitars, and I'm delighted it exists.
- 25

A Carol Christmas
2003 · 92 min★ 5.2Weirdness 9/10A truly chaotic Carol riff. Egomaniacal talk-show host Carol Cartman (Tori Spelling) sets out to ruin everyone's holiday and gets the three-spirits treatment instead. Weirdness 9. The casting is the spectacle: Gary Coleman as the Ghost of Christmas Past, making meta jokes, and William Shatner as a self-help TV doctor named Dr. Bob. Rated 5.2, which feels about right, but the sheer audacity earns its weirdness. A wonderfully strange early-2000s artifact.
- 26

Sweeter Than Chocolate
2023 · 84 min★ 6.7Weirdness 9/10A TV reporter (Eloise Mumford) investigates a local bakery rumored to hold the secret recipe for finding true love on Valentine's Day. Weirdness 9. The premise is pure magic-as-dessert, a confection that supposedly conjures romance, and the film leans into the will-it-work tension. Dan Jeannotte co-stars. Rated 6.7. Supernatural baking as matchmaking, which is exactly the kind of straight-faced sweetness this list rewards.
- 27

Edge of the Garden
2011 · 89 min★ 7.0Weirdness 9/10A newly single tech executive (Rob Estes) buys an abandoned country house and starts communicating with a woman who lived there fifty years earlier and died under mysterious circumstances. Weirdness 9. The cross-time connection runs through letters left in the house, with a locket acting as the bridge between 1960 and 2011. Kelly Monaco features. Rated 7. Part ghost story, part time-travel romance, and genuinely eerie for the brand. A standout for the audacity of its setup.
- 28

Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Murder in G Major
2023 · 84 min★ 7.1Weirdness 9/10Former orchestra conductor Gethsemane Brown (Tamera Mowry-Housley) moves to a remote Irish village to teach, takes over a dead composer's house, and after decoding a musical message, meets his ghost, who swears he's innocent of the crime everyone blames him for. Weirdness 9. The ghost can only communicate through her and a piano, and describes limbo as no fun at all. Rated 7.1. A musical haunting with a cold case attached, and a premise I can't get enough of.
- 29

Letters to Santa
2023 · 84 min★ 5.9Weirdness 9/10Two kids get a magical pen from a mysterious Santa and start writing letters to wish their estranged parents back together. Weirdness 9. The standout detail: the mall Santa has a mole on his nose that the children mistake for Rudolph's red light, which is the kind of nudge-nudge "he's the real one" gag the genre loves. Katie Leclerc leads. Rated 5.9. A wish-magic family reconciliation with the supernatural dialed to maximum sincerity.
- 30

Cancel Christmas
2010 · 87 min★ 5.4Weirdness 9/10Judd Nelson plays Santa Claus, who discovers kids have gotten too greedy and has to prove otherwise or watch his favorite holiday get canceled. Weirdness 9. The premise that tickles me most: Santa is governed by a corporate board of directors and goes undercover as a school janitor named Kris Frost to reform some incorrigible children. Rated 5.4. A "Santa with a job-performance review" comedy that's far stranger than its poster admits.
- 31

Good Witch Halloween
2015 · 82 min★ 7.6Weirdness 9/10Cassie Nightingale (Catherine Bell) handles a mysterious new guest at Grey House while her daughter Grace deals with classmates calling her a witch. Weirdness 9. The Good Witch Halloween outings lean hardest into the uncanny, with Cassie sensing "dark energy" and predicting things she shouldn't be able to, all against a Harvest Festival backdrop. Bailee Madison and James Denton feature. Rated 7.6. Cozy and spooky-season at once, and one of the better-rated entries here.
- 32

Good Witch: Secrets of Grey House
2016 · 84 min★ 7.8Weirdness 9/10To celebrate a famous author's latest book, the town of Middleton temporarily becomes the enchanted village of Tarynsville. Weirdness 9. The delightful twist is that the author's fictional town turns out to be rooted in the real history of Grey House, so Cassie (Catherine Bell) helps her see it. Bailee Madison and James Denton return. Rated 7.8, the highest-rated supernatural entry on this page. Small-town cozy with a literary-magic shimmer running through it.
- 33

Oliver's Ghost
2011 · 82 min★ 5.9Weirdness 9/10A young boy realizes his new home comes with a ghost, and sets out to unravel the mystery of why the spirit is still hanging around. Weirdness 9. Martin Mull and Rhea Perlman feature, which is a charmingly odd pairing for a kid-led haunting. Rated 5.9. The premise is simple and very Hallmark, a friendly ghost with unfinished business, but the family-mystery framing earns its high weirdness. A gentle, slightly creaky little ghost story.
- 34

Good Witch: Tale of Two Hearts
2018 · 120 min★ 7.4Weirdness 9/10In the run-up to Cassie and Sam's Halloween wedding, the legendary "Heart of Middleton" ruby is stolen from the museum, and the town's romantic energy seems to fade right along with it. Weirdness 9. Catherine Bell, Bailee Madison and James Denton return. Rated 7.4. The conceit is gloriously silly: a magical gem that supposedly governs the love lives of an entire town, plus a 200-year-old feud with a rival village. Cozy Middleton magic with a heist-shaped hole in the middle.
- 35

Love & Jane
2024 · 84 minWeirdness 9/10A devoted Jane Austen fan (Alison Sweeney) wishes she could talk to her favorite author, and then Jane Austen herself shows up. Weirdness 9. The detail that sells it: the ghost of Austen physically moves into her apartment for days, obsesses over whether modern men own cattle, and watches an adaptation of her own book to rate the actors. Benjamin Ayres co-stars. No IMDb rating logged yet. A literary haunting played for warmth and a lot of fish-out-of-time comedy.
- 36

The Magic of Lemon Drops
2024 · 84 minWeirdness 9/10Lolly (Lyndsy Fonseca) is handed four magical lemon drops by her eccentric Aunt Gert, and each one lets her live out a version of her life shaped by a different choice. Weirdness 9. It's essentially multiverse-hopping via hard candy, the drops sourced from a carnival psychic named Esmerelda, with a "fourth drop" rule that works like a save-state. Ian Harding co-stars. No rating logged yet. Sliding Doors by way of confectionery, and all the more fun for it.
- 37

A Biltmore Christmas
2023 · 84 minWeirdness 9/10A screenwriter (Bethany Joy Lenz) is sent to the Biltmore Estate to research a remake of a 1947 holiday film, knocks over an hourglass, and finds herself transported to the original movie's set in 1946. Weirdness 9. The hourglass-as-time-machine and the movie-within-a-movie framing make this one a treat, with Jonathan Frakes and Robert Picardo in the mix. Kristoffer Polaha co-stars. No rating logged yet. Old-Hollywood time travel, sincerely and lavishly staged.
- 38

A Timeless Christmas
2020 · 84 min★ 7.0Weirdness 8/10Inventor Charles Whitley (Ryan Paevey) winds a mysterious antique clock during a "Christmas Moon" in 1903 and lands in 2020, where his old mansion is now a museum run by historian Megan (Erin Cahill). Weirdness 8. The clock-as-portal and the gag where everyone assumes he's just a very dedicated method actor are the fun of it. Rated 7 over more than 3,800 votes. A fish-out-of-time Christmas romance, played completely straight and all the warmer for it.
- 39

Christmas in Evergreen
2017 · 84 min★ 6.6Weirdness 8/10The film that launched the Evergreen films. A small-town vet (Ashley Williams) wishes on a snow globe for her most romantic Christmas ever, and the magic obliges in roundabout ways. Weirdness 8. The snow globe quietly manipulates weather and mechanical failures to keep people in town, which is a wonderfully sneaky bit of wish-magic. Teddy Sears co-stars. Rated 6.6 over more than 3,300 votes. The cozy origin point of Evergreen, with its magic kept gentle and just visible.
- 40

Naughty or Nice
2011 · 83 min★ 6.5Weirdness 8/10A down-on-her-luck ad executive named Krissy Kringle (Hilarie Burton Morgan), who lives on Candy Cane Lane, becomes the keeper of Santa's actual "Naughty or Nice" list. Weirdness 8. The magical book "tinkles" when it reveals someone's private misdeeds, and the temptation to misuse it drives the whole story. Matt Dallas co-stars. Rated 6.5 over more than 3,100 votes. A what-would-you-do-with-Santa's-secrets premise that's more mischievous than most on this list.
