Holiday Movies on Prime Video to Watch This Christmas Season

"A Christmas Carol" has had multiple film adaptations over the years and for good reason. The Christmas classic centers around Ebenezer Scrooge, known for being mean-spirited and cheap. While everyone is jolly and excited about the upcoming Christmas holiday, Scrooge isolates himself from anything involving the holiday, including a party invitation from his nephew and charitable donations. One day, Scrooge returns home and is visited by the ghost of his old business partner, Jacob Marley, who advises him to change his ways before he is subject to a terrible fate. After this, three ghosts visit Scrooge (the Ghost of Christmas Past, Present, and Future) in hopes of warming Scrooge's cold heart.
