W Nashville is throwing out cinematic Christmas-themed triple-headers this holiday season. On Christmas Eve, they programmed the family-friendly comedies Elf, A Christmas Story and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, all in one block. For the big day, they’re serving up more Yuletide laughs. First it’s The Santa Clause, that 1994 stocking-stuffer in which sitcom star Tim Allen made his leading-man debut as a dad who becomes the next Kris Kringle. After that, we have Jim Carrey slapping on that damn furry green suit in Ron Howard’s 2000 adaptation of Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Finally, for the date-night lovebirds, there’s Love Actually, the 2003 all-star ensemble romcom from jolly ol’ England (starring such famously charming Brits as Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson and Colin Firth) that has become a holiday fave. Spend your Christmas evening watching what longtime Scene contributor Donna Bowman once called “the ultimate Richard Curtis movie because it’s six Richard Curtis movies crammed into one holiday package.”
