Your Christmas movie watchlist doesn't have to be all about the holiday.

After all, Mean Girls has nothing to do with the festive season, but we dare you to name a scene as iconic as the Plastics performing "Jingle Bell Rock" in the 2004 cult classic. Okay, okay, Frozen isn't technically all about Yuletide -- but c'mon, its name alone makes it a perfect cozy movie to enjoy around the fireplace with family and friends this winter holiday.

Few movies are as heartwarming and nostalgic as the Harry Potter films, which -- while more about magic, wizards and fantastic beasts -- celebrate the season several times throughout the franchise. Who could forget the look on Harry's (Daniel Radcliffe) face when he receives his first Christmas present in 2001's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone?

To ensure you're not missing out on the best nontraditional Christmas movies, here are 21 you can watch long after you've put the holiday decorations away and the snow has melted.
