Some of the Christmas movies on Regal’s schedule play loosely with the term “holiday classic” (we’re looking at you, “Daddy’s Home 2”) while others have little to do with the holidays except for one scene (such as “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”). All the same, there are some Christmas standards included that are more than qualified for seasonal viewing on the big screen, from “Elf” to “It’s a Wonderful Life.”
