00:00What we need now...
00:01Oh, short as a sprig of holly.
00:03Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the funniest, most festive romantic comedies to snuggle up with this holiday season.
00:12We're sticking to rom-coms only, so classics like Elf won't be included here.
00:17Okay, I'll come back later!
00:20Number 10. The Best Man Holiday
00:22Nobody here is gonna judge you.
00:25You don't know my friends very well, do you?
00:28Come on, get in here!
00:30It's been too long.
00:32The sequel to 1999's The Best Man reunites a beloved cast of characters with a touch of Christmas spirit.
00:39Taking place over a decade after the events of the first film, The Best Man Holiday sees protagonist Harper Stewart back with his close group of friends.
00:48You know, you all being here is a gift.
00:52It's the best Christmas gift I've ever had.
00:57I love all of you, and Harper, forget your agent.
01:02While celebrating the festive season, things start bubbling to the surface, and it's not always pleasant.
01:08This causes a lot of strain, but it also leads to plenty of laughs.
01:12The flick isn't without its fair share of heartbreak and drama, but it still provides viewers with generous amounts of levity and yuletide joy.
01:20The good times and bad times, you will always be mine.
01:30Number 9. Love Hard
01:32Do we have something special?
01:34Yes. Did I fly all the way from L.A. to surprise him for Christmas?
01:37Mm-hmm, sure did. Here I am.
01:39Am I crazy?
01:40A little.
01:41Uh, yeah, maybe a little.
01:42Dating can be challenging at any point in the year, but during the holidays?
01:46Well, then it's a whole other ballgame.
01:49In Love Hard, writer Natalie decides to travel across the country to meet Josh, a guy she meets via a dating app.
01:55She thinks he's the one, but her surprise visit takes a turn when she meets him, and he is not who he claimed.
02:02What kind of psycho flies across the country and just shows up at somebody's front lawn?
02:06You said, and I quote, I wish you were here with me for Christmas.
02:10Well, that's just something people say. Like, your baby's so cute, or my diet starts tomorrow.
02:15The story doesn't end there, though. She and Josh hatch a plan where she pretends to be his girlfriend.
02:20In return, he'll introduce her to Tag, the man she thought she was connecting with.
02:25Hilarity and romance ensue, which results in one of the sweetest, funniest holiday rom-coms in recent years.
02:31I'm not good at this kind of stuff, Josh.
02:33Okay, you just have to relax.
02:36Relax? I can't relax. Detention is the only thing holding me together.
02:40Number 8. Serendipity
02:42Do you believe in fate?
02:43You may after watching this Christmas fairy tale.
02:46Or Jonathan and the Gloves.
02:48I didn't know that one.
02:50You don't know that story? It's an old folk tale. Classic.
02:52A chance meeting in a department store and a pair of gloves brings serendipity's Jonathan and Sarah together.
02:58Although they're with other people, their encounters spark something between them.
03:02They leave it up to a bill, a copy of Love in the Time of Cholera, and an elevator to determine their fate.
03:08I don't understand this.
03:09You don't have to understand. You just have to have faith.
03:12Faith in what?
03:14Destiny.
03:19Unfortunately, their little experiment separates them and they spend years apart thinking about each other.
03:25Before his wedding day, a sign inspires Jonathan to search for Sarah, which leads to a magical wintry journey that could only happen in a place like New York City.
03:35The whole thing will make you swoon, laugh, and embrace destiny.
03:43I'm John.
03:46I'm Sarah.
03:51All you have to do is look at their faces. It's pure love.
03:53I know, but why don't even they see it, is the question.
03:56Love is blind.
03:57No. No, that's when you fall in love with someone who's ugly.
04:00Friends to Lovers isn't a new idea when it comes to the rom-com genre, but Single All the Way does it so well, it feels as fresh as a snowfall.
04:08In the movie, BFFs and roomies Peter and Nick plan to fake a relationship in order to get the former's family to stop meddling in his love life.
04:16Oblivious to this, Peter's mom arranges a date for him, which throws a wrench in the scheme, and them for a loop.
04:24Oh.
04:25I'm so sorry.
04:26I'm sorry.
04:27No, I think that was my fault.
04:29And now you know that I'm not the coolest, so we got that out of the way.
04:32Comedy ensues as they navigate the tricky situation, while also beginning to realize their true feelings for each other.
04:38As if that wasn't enough, the always hysterical Jennifer Coolidge rounds out the cast, which is the bow on top of an already perfect holiday rom-com.
04:47And for some reason, you're always obsessed with me.
04:55I don't know why, but I like it.
05:00Number 6. Something from Tiffany's
05:03That is the one.
05:04You have good taste, Daisy.
05:06Yes, I do.
05:07Based on a Melissa Hill book, Something from Tiffany's is the ultimate Christmas New York City love story.
05:13After her boyfriend gets hit by a car in front of the famed jewelry store, baker Rachel accidentally ends up with an engagement ring on her finger.
05:21Just such a big gesture is very unlike Gary, but...
05:25What a ring.
05:26It's the most beautiful ring I've ever seen in my life.
05:29Uh-huh. Yeah.
05:31No, what about you? How'd your proposal go?
05:36It didn't.
05:37The diamond belongs to a man named Ethan, who saved her now-fiance's life.
05:42He was originally supposed to propose to his girlfriend with the rock.
05:46However, his serendipitous encounter with Rachel ignites a friendship that leads to something more.
05:51This is definitely the humorous, romantic cinematic gift that keeps on giving.
05:56It's messy, but I just love that something beautiful always comes out of the mess.
06:00I like that.
06:04I love you, Chris.
06:09Like a brother.
06:11We're friends, right?
06:14Just Friends takes place a decade after a declaration of love goes awry,
06:18when music producer Chris Brander reluctantly returns to his hometown during the holidays.
06:23There, he reunites with his high school crush and bestie Jamie,
06:26who did not share his feelings all those years ago.
06:29Listen, uh, about that.
06:31Were you that mad at me?
06:33Come on, Jamie. It was like a hundred years ago, alright?
06:36I'm not that pathetic little dweeb anymore.
06:39You're never a dweeb, Chris.
06:41Becoming chummy once again, old and new feelings form, but it's not all smooth sailing.
06:46One hilarious obstacle is Samantha James,
06:50an up-and-coming singer who's interested in Chris.
06:53Played by Anna Faris, she steals the show with her outlandish behavior, off-key vocals, and diva antics.
07:01To forgive is divine
07:03So let's have a glass of wine
07:06And have make-up sex
07:09Until the end of
07:11Time, time, time, time
07:14Number 4. Happiest Season
07:16They say Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year,
07:19but it's not always true for everyone.
07:22Oh, God, you hate it.
07:24No, I don't hate it, baby. I'm just not a huge Christmas person.
07:27I know, I know, but how can you not like the lights and the decorations and the Christmas tree?
07:34Determined to get her girlfriend, Abby, into the spirit,
07:37Harper invites her to spend the season with her family.
07:40It's only then that Abby learns that Harper has not come out to them.
07:44I get it, okay?
07:47I am asking a lot of you,
07:50but I promise I will tell them everything after the holidays.
07:55Stuck pretending to be her roommate,
07:57she's subjected to awkward encounters and uncomfortable situations,
08:01all while hiding who she really is.
08:03Despite the not-so-fun circumstances,
08:06Happiest Season is a rom-com that manages to tickle your funny bone and warm your heart.
08:11Plus, it boasts a knockout cast including Kristen Stewart,
08:15Mackenzie Davis, Alison Brie, Dan Levy, and Aubrey Plaza,
08:19who keep both the laughs and Christmas vibes going.
08:22Must be Santa! Must be Santa!
08:27Must be Santa, Santa Claus!
08:36All I want for Christmas is you.
08:39There's no denying that Love Actually is the quintessential Christmas rom-com.
08:44A mosaic of love in all its varied forms,
08:47the ensemble flick offers something for everyone.
08:50Chronicling interconnected stories during the holidays,
08:53it's a modern classic and a December must-watch.
08:56Uh, does Natalie live here?
08:58No, she doesn't.
08:59Oh, dear. Okay.
09:00Are you seeing Carols?
09:02Uh, no. No, I'm not.
09:04Please, sir, please!
09:06Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Keira Knightley, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth,
09:10and a slew of other notable guests bring the tales to life,
09:13warming our hearts and leaving us rolling in the aisles.
09:16A tinsel-filled ode to connection,
09:19Love Actually proves that laughter and, well, love really are all around us.
09:24Except we've changed the word love to Christmas.
09:32Okay, where do I want to go?
09:34By myself at Christmas.
09:38By myself depressed at Christmas.
09:40Ever dream of getting away from it all for Christmas?
09:43Well, that's exactly what Amanda and Iris do
09:46in the appropriately titled The Holiday.
09:48Reeling from heartbreak, the two swap places,
09:51lending their Los Angeles and Surrey homes to one another.
09:54The changes of scenery spark personal growth
09:57and even some unexpected romance for the women.
10:00I do recall you promising me you wouldn't fall in love with me.
10:05Must pay better attention.
10:07I've never met a guy who talks as much as me.
10:10But could you just for now be quiet?
10:15Amanda falls for Iris' brother Graham,
10:17while Iris falls for Miles, a film composer.
10:20We find ourselves giggling and kicking our feet
10:23as we watch their journeys unfold.
