Alternative Christmas

Mon 15 – Wed 24 Dec

A new addition in 2023 and already a beloved strand of our annual Christmas programme, Alternative Christmas returns for 2025 with another fantastic selection of leftfield festive films from around the world.

Click here to view the rest of our Christmas Programme.

From yuletide winter romances to sly digs at the concept of Christmas cheer and even dystopian sci-fi, these titles offer some fun alternative Christmas viewing, which are either the perfect compliment to more traditional festive fair, or alternatively fresh viewing for those who may have seen the standard classics one too many times!

All of these films are either set at Christmas or have a clearly festive setting or feel, and we think they make great additions to our December lineup. We hope you enjoy them!
