It's that time of year, where hot chocolates and snuggling up on the sofa seems that bit more tempting - oh, and binge watching all of the Christmas films every streaming service has to offer, of course. But as we all know, Christmas films aren't necessarily 'all size fits one' - and if you're a lover of astrology, you may think this is down to your star sign.

As astrology fans will know, each different star sign holds a different set of characteristics, meaning a cheesy feel-good family film might not be the perfect seasonal fit for all. Well, don't worry, as we've taken the liberty of mapping out the perfect recommendations to suit your zodiac sign.

Which Christmas film should you watch based on your star sign?

Capricorn - Polar Express

Traits: High minded, cultured, motivated by duty and goal-oriented.


Nothing quite says cultured like a magical adventure to the North Pole via the Polar Express. With determination and motivation throughout, Polar Express is the perfect fit for Capricorns.

Aquarius - Jingle all the way

Traits: Witty, optimistic, clever, truthful, innovative, assertive.


For those Aquarius' out there, Arnold Schwarzenegger's optimism, assertiveness and innovative methods for acquiring his son's Christmas present make for the perfect festive flick.

Pisces - Miracle on 34th Street

Traits: Whimsical, emotional, sensitive.


Miracle on 34th Street is a Christmas classic, tugging on the heart-strings of anyone that watches. Whimsical and emotional, the 1994 film is perfect for all those Pisces out there.

Aries - Die Hard

Traits: Fiery, confident, determined.


Yes, we're classing this as a Christmas film - and can you get more fiery and confident than Bruce Willis' John McClane in Die Hard?!

Taurus - Muppets Christmas Carol

Traits: Stubborn, hates big changes, loyal, homely.


If you're familiar with the tale of the Christmas Carol, you can't get more stubborn than Scrooge himself. But this heartwarming story is sure to tug on the homely heartstrings of any Taurus out there.

Gemini - The Princess Switch

Traits: Split personality, can adapt to any situation, versatile.


Nothing screams versatile like being able to step in as a Princess for the weekend. Perfect for a Gemini's versatile nature, Vanessa Hudgens' Princess Switch trilogy could be a seasonal staple.

Cancer - The Holiday

Traits: Emotional, uncommunicative with their feelings, love a throwback.


The Holiday is truly one to get you in the feels, and we can feel the Cancer star sign energy shine through as Cameron Diaz's character struggles to express her emotions. And as for loving a throwback, who can forget the iconic 'Mr. Brightside' scene?

Leo - Home Alone

Traits: Confident, ambitious, loyal, protective of nearest and dearest.


The ambitious, creative and loyal nature of a Leo shine through in this Christmas classic, as Kevin goes to extreme lengths to protect his family's home.

Virgo - Nativity

Traits: Reliable, patient, perfectionist, hard-worker, love sharing feel-good songs with friends.


It's fair to say that Nativity is one of the most feel-good Christmas films out there, and nothing shows hard work and patience like organising a high-production primary school Nativity show.

Libra - Love Actually

Traits: Sentimental, sweet, nice, like equal balance and all stories tied up, closure.


For those Libras who like everything to be tied up, what better film than Love Actually? Following the storylines of multiple characters, the sweet film sees everyone cherish their loved ones and family at Christmastime.

Scorpio - The Grinch

Traits: Stubborn, aggressive, moody, cunning, hot-tempered, jealous, will go the extra mile to take care of your emotions - however, secretively.


Do we even need to explain this one? Whilst passionate and strong, Scorpios can also have the tendency to verge on the moody and cunning side, with a sprinkling of hot-temperedness, just like a certain green Christmas cynic we all know (and love, of course)...

Sagittarius - Elf

Traits: Bold, energetic, full of vitality and grand dreams, charismatic, fun, lively, passionate, and driven by their heart and desires.


As Buddy The Elf said himself - "The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear". Packed with energy, Christmas dreams and Will Ferrell's larger than life Buddy, Elf is the perfect heartwarming festive film for all those Sagittarius'.
