The flick isn’t without its fair share of heartbreak and drama, but it still provides viewers with generous amounts of levity and yuletide joy.

Dating can be challenging at any point in the year. But during the holidays? Well, then it's a whole other ball game. In “Love Hard,” writer Natalie decides to travel across the country to meet Josh, a guy she meets via a dating app. She thinks he’s the one, but her surprise visit takes a turn when she meets him – and he is not who he claimed. The story doesn’t end there, though. She and Josh hatch a plan where she pretends to be his girlfriend. In return, he’ll introduce her to Tag, the man she thought she was connecting with. Hilarity and romance ensue, which results in one of the sweetest, funniest holiday rom-coms in recent years!

Do you believe in fate? You may after watching this Christmas fairytale. A chance meeting in a department store and a pair of gloves bring “Serendipity”’s Jonathan and Sara together. Although they’re with other people, their encounters spark something between them. They leave it up to a bill, a copy of “Love in the Time of Cholera,” and an elevator to determine their fate. Unfortunately, their little experiment separates them and they spend years apart thinking about each other. Before his wedding day, a sign inspires Jonathan to search for Sara, which leads to a magically wintery journey that could only happen in a place like New York City. The whole thing will make you swoon, laugh, and embrace destiny.

Friends 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! In 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. Oblivious to this, Peter’s mom arranges a date for him, which throws a wrench in the scheme, and them for a loop.

As 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.

Based on a Melissa Hill book, “Something from Tiffany’s” is the ultimate Christmas New York City love story. After 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.

However, his serendipitous encounter with Rachel ignites a friendship that leads to something more. This is definitely the humorous, romantic cinematic gift that keeps on giving!

“Just Friends” takes place a decade after a declaration of love goes awry, when music producer Chris Brander reluctantly returns to his hometown during the holidays. There, he reunites with his high school crush and bestie, Jaime, who did not share his feelings all those years ago. Becoming chummy once again, old and new feelings form. But it’s not all smooth sailing. One hilarious obstacle is Samantha James, an up-and-coming singer who’s interested in Chris. Played by Anna Faris, she steals the show with her outlandish behavior, off-key vocals, and diva antics.

They say Christmas is “the most wonderful time of the year,” but that’s not always true for everyone.

Stuck pretending to be her roommate, she’s subjected to awkward encounters and uncomfortable situations all while hiding who she really is. Despite the not-so-fun circumstances, “Happiest Season” is a rom-com that manages to tickle your funny bone and warm your heart. Plus, it boasts a knock-out cast including Kristen Stewart, Mackenzie Davis, Alison Brie, Dan Levy, and Aubrey Plaza, who keep both the laughs and Christmas vibes going.

There’s no denying that “Love Actually” is the quintessential Christmas rom-com. A mosaic of love in all its varied forms, the ensemble flick offers something for everyone.
