5 Holiday Shorts to Add to Your Christmas Movie Marathon
While all the popular Christmas films like The Polar Express and Home Alone are classics for a reason, there are even more great holiday watches in the short section. If you're working on a holiday movie marathon, they're a perfect way to break up long back-to-back movies.
Below, discover the best shorts you should incorporate into your binge watch, including Frozen, Star Wars and more.
Olaf's Frozen Adventure
Even Anna and Elsa celebrate Christmas! In this short film, the two reigning sisters of Arendelle prepare for the first winter holiday since the town reopened. But after realizing how few traditions they had, Olaf and Sven work together to find everything they need to make it one special Christmas.
Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special
Peter Quill has been apprehensive toward Christmas for decades, but this year, Mantis and Drax are set on making it a holiday to remember after the loss of Gamora. The two do the obvious thing anyone would do: steal their loved one's childhood idol. The two race to Hollywood to find no one other than Kevin Bacon for the ultimate Christmas surprise.

Shrek the Halls
We don't know anyone who doesn't love Shrek. So, of course, DreamWorks had to offer a special to incorporate the Far Far Away crew into every holiday. As usual, Shrek wants nothing more than a quiet holiday with Fiona and the kids, but Donkey, Puss in Boots and Gingy have other ideas, arriving to Shrek's doorstep to tell Christmas stories.
Sing: Come Home
For a true intermission, Sing 2's promotional Come Home gives you two minutes to appreciate this winter wonderland. Nurse Angie, voiced by Keke Palmer, is on her way home to watch Buster Moon's Christmas special with her family, but a blizzard strikes and she runs out of gas. Little does she know she struck Darius with her car, forcing her to take his place in Buster's show.
The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special
Since the original Star Wars Holiday Special has a runtime of almost two hours, it's anything but a short, but if you still have a craving for Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Yoda and the gang, try The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special. This 45-minute film takes the sequel's heroine, Rey, on a cross-timeline adventure of all the franchise's biggest moments before racing back to celebrate Life Day.
