Featured Films
• “The Holiday” – a classic Christmas movie featuring a successful home swap between two women on different continents. Forget Airbnb, folks; make a friend from another country, swap houses, and find love! Easy peasy.
• “Home Alone” – Family forgets youngest child while on vacation and comes back to a booby-trapped home. Certainly doesn’t fall under the standard wear and tear clause in most rental agreements.
• “The Family Stone” – Showcasing a charming New England home playing a crucial role as the gathering place for a scattered family. Lesson: A family gathering spot can be prime real estate!

Hot Take
Real estate isn’t just bricks and mortar, folks. Oh no, it’s comedy, romance and a sprinkle of holiday magic, all wrapped up in a heated blanket and presented mug of warm cocoa. Jessi Healey’s compilation of real estate infused holiday films is a testament to the importance and charm of the property market in our daily lives, and in Hollywood!
From falling in love in a quaint cottage you switched for the holidays, to laughing at naughty home intruders slipping on toy cars, the silver screen has a way of showcasing real estate in ways the MLS simply can’t. So grab your popcorn, find your snuggliest slippers and get ready to chuckle, sigh and dream about your future real estate endeavors… or disasters, because we all know that every good film needs a plot twist!
Whether we’re talking about New England family homes that remind you of holiday meals with grandma or luxurious penthouses swapped for a countryside getaway, real estate is more than just transactions; it’s a lifestyle, a plot device, and a character all its own.
Just remember, amidst all the movie marathons this season, real estate is indeed like a box of holiday chocolates – you never know what you’re going to get. But rest assured, it will be sweet, or at least entertaining! So light up that fireplace (if you’ve got one), get comfy in your own personal real estate marvel, and let these cinematic odes to property take you on a merry journey.
