Festive film We reckon there’s nothing nicer at Christmas than settling down in front of the TV to catch up with our favourite festive films, while maybe dipping into the Quality Street at the same time - assuming there are
any left, of course! We thought we’d check in with some of our Midlands-based friends to find out which Christmas movie they love the most. We hope you enjoy their responses as much as we have. Happy viewing!
White Christmas

“My favourite Christmas film has to be the old faithful, White Christmas. It came out in 1954, well before my family had a television, but I do remember some years later watching it for the first time with my parents. They’d seen it in the cinema and absolutely loved it. They were huge fans of Bing Crosby - that amazing, rich voice. The title song to me somehow
epitomises the essence of Christmas; the Christmas song of all Christmas songs. Every time I hear it, I just have to stop and reflect. It evokes such warm, cherished childhood memories. My parents would just look at each other when the song came on and say in unison, ‘Ah, Bing. All is well.’”
