Bearing in mind there is now less than 300 shopping days left until next Christmas why not get yourself in the mood (or a mood certainly) by looking at our indispensable guide (in the form of an advent calendar) to the "Movies that make you feel Christmassy".

Now with added Christmas countdown timer.
