In need of some new movies to watch this festive season? 

With the holiday season in full swing, it's time to see what the world of entertainment has to offer with its new releases!

One thing is for sure, there are plenty of movies (and tv series) to keep you entertained throughout the month of December.

December is looking like a very busy and exciting month (and not just because it's Christmas in just a few weeks!). When it comes to movie releases, it's looking like we will be seeing a bit of everything. From musicals to sci-fi and action, there are some interesting titles to check out as 2022 comes to an end.

From Avatar: The Way of Water to Ryan Reynolds in a MUSICAL?! Here are the must see-movies to watch this month!

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever 

It has been two long years since the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman and our hearts haven't been the same since.

We knew that following the 2018 movie "Black Panther" would be no easy task but just from watching the movie trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever we knew that this sequel would be an incredible movie and tribute to Chadwick.

Without giving too much away, it's safe to say that King T'Challa's suit is resting in good hands with everyone involved.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is out now in cinemas worldwide.

Mickey: The Story of a Mouse

In celebration of Mickey's 94th birthday, a documentary about one of the world's most beloved icons has been released on Disney +.

Mickey: The Story of a Mouse gives fans an intriguing look at the century-long history of Mickey Mouse and uncovers questions and facts about Walt's and Mickey's past.

If you're a Disney super fan or grew up loving Mickey Mouse, then you will LOVE this documentary film. It really gives you a deep insight into the creation of Mickey Mouse and shows how Walt himself had many different versions of this origin story

Disney's Strange World 

We're always so excited when it comes to new material from Walt Disney Animation Studios' and the latest movie release from the studio is original action-adventure Strange World.

We actually can't believe that it's been FIFTEEN years since we watched Giselle get her happily ever after. We suddenly feel old. Now, fifteen years later, we are reunited with Giselle and Robert and are treated to a SEQUEL. Disney just keeps treating us don't they?! Disenchanted adds a new chapter to the fairy tale and sees Giselle, Robert and Morgan move to a new community but then Andalasia and the real world are thrown off balance.

Bones and All

Bones and All is a romantic cannibal film. Yes, you read that right. Bones and All is a story of first love between Maren, a young woman learning how to survive on the margins of society, and Lee, an intense and disenfranchised drifter. The movie has been described as a liberating road odyssey of two young people coming into their own, searching for identity and chasing beauty in a perilous world that cannot abide who they are.

Spirited 

You're probably thinking, Ryan Reynolds in a musical?! Yes, we thought the same thing but we are SO here for it! Spirited is a hilarious modern musical update of the classic Charles Dickens story about Ebenezer Scrooge and the all-singing, all-dancing festive film is one of this year's must watch Christmas movies.

However, the musical comedy is showing in select UK cinemas so have a look at your local cinema to see if Spirited will be playing over the festive season.

Falling for Christmas

Christmas has come early with the return of Lindsay Lohan to our screens! In the days leading up to Christmas, a young, newly engaged heiress has a skiing accident. After she is diagnosed with amnesia, she finds herself in the care of a handsome cabin owner and his daughter.
