It can be difficult to warm into the Christmas season at the best of times. It is usually announced instantaneously and in overwhelming fashion with extravagant displays, a resurgent sense of joyousness in the community, and, of course, with an onslaught of music from Mariah Carey and Michael Bublé. Thankfully, for many of those who like to ease into the festivities, there are plenty of movies that dabble in Christmas without bombarding audiences with seasonal cheer every step of the way.

Additionally, what is there just serves to wonderfully complement the charm and tenderness already present in each of the characters.
*Availability in US Release Date December 14, 2006 Director Nancy Meyers Cast Cameron Diaz , Jude Law , Jack Black , Kate Winslet Runtime 138 Minutes 7 'Iron Man 3' Directed by Shane Black One for those who prefer their Christmas celebrations with more superhero bombast than caroling and decorating, Iron Man 3 is the first example of an MCU Christmas.
The complete lack of any holiday presence for the vast majority of the movie is a key reason why it hasn't been regarded as a feel-good Christmas classic. However, its rousing story of love and the fact that it is bookended by Christmas celebrations and romantic epiphanies ensure it maintains a warm and wonderful Christmassy aura without bludgeoning audiences with an abundance of festive fervor.
