Christmas movies that aren't romance centered?

[allhailtheglowcloud]

It's about that time of year where my family tries to watch as many Christmas movies as possible, and I'm getting Very Tired™ of all the romcoms. Does anyone have any suggestions for good movies without major romance plotlines? Bonus points for any actual aro representation. Thanks in advance

1. Home Alone

2. Polar Express

3. Gremlins 

4. Klaus (There is some romance kind of but not much. Still highly recommend you watch it!)

Mrs. Santa Claus, staring Angela Lansbury. It's not aro rep, the love she has for her husband still plays an important role in the movie, but it's more about their enduring bonds than about romance. It has lots of Christmas themes like charity and forgiveness and community and helping others, as well as a lot of other plot points you wouldn't expect of a Christmas movie, like immigration, labour laws, and feminism.

the movie does use romance as the way to drive the opening of the story, John McClane goes to a party to reconcile with his wife, but lets face it, the movie kind of puts the romance very much to the side for the vast majority of the plot.

It's been a while since I've seen it, but I don't think I remember there being any romance in Klaus

[The Newest Fabled Creature]

The Gremlins! I personally kind of forgot that it's a Christmas, since it don't really feel like one lmao
