After we've binged all the new TV shows and fall movies coming to our screens, it's time for this year's new winter movies. When it gets cold enough, all we really want to do is curl up with a mug of tea and dive into all kinds of different stories. These cozy picks will turn into comfort movies before long, and with themes of family, friendship, and love (plus holidays — you really can't leave out the holidays), you'll want to watch these winter movies over and over again.

Wonka follows the titular character as he uses his own brand of magic (and chocolate) to make the world a better place. Not only is this moving going to be upbeat and very fun, but we're also pretty sure Timothée Chalamet's "I'm makin' chocolate 'o course" has already been immortalized on TikTok.

American Fiction — In Theaters December 22

Bob Marley: One Love — In Theaters February 14
This biographical movie musical follows the life of reggae icon Bob Marley, from his rise to fame until he passed away in May of 1981.
