Christmas movie showings at smaller cinemas in Newcastle and nearby

With Advent in full swing, there are plenty of chances to catch classic Christmas films at cosy cinemas in Newcastle and nearby.

The Everyman and Tyneside cinemas in Newcastle, Jam Jar in Whitley Bay and Hexham's Forum are all showing Christmas films this December. There are absolute Yuletide clasics like It's a Wonderful Life, modern favourites like Elf and, of course, the ever debated is-it-a-Christmas-film, Die Hard, also makes a few appearances.

You can also catch some more under-the-radar movies at Newcastle's Star and Shadow, which is running a Yuletide Film season.

There is plenty for younger viewers too, with Polar Express, and the Grinch screenings around Newcastle, along with the beloved Home Alone and the Muppets' take on A Christmas Carol.

And Tyneside Cinema even has an all-night Christmas movie marathon.
