The holiday season has arrived, and with decorations all set-up and shopping lists complete now's the time to relax and enjoy the festivities!

The Christmas countdown has officially begun, and between all the shopping, cooking and parties, gifting yourself some relaxing time-out from all the holiday shenanigans is a good idea. Especially when you can enjoy a carefully selected assortment of joyful titles that celebrate the spirit of the yuletide, all available on STARZPLAY.

For the holidays, the leading SVOD service in the MENA region is offering subscribers the choice of an abundant list of titles that spans many genres; from romance to comedy, to family adventures to fantasy and some classic moves that have become a must-see every holiday season.

Speaking of classics, no holiday season is complete without Tim Burton’s enchanting The Nightmare Before Christmas which still gets theatrical re-releases almost every year in the US, proving incredible durability since its original release in 1993. Yes, it is THAT popular. The Oscar-nominated stop-motion spookfest follows Jack Skellington, king of Halloween Town, discovers Christmas Town, but his attempts to bring Christmas to his home causes confusion.

A modern classic in its own way, 2006’s The Holiday is a perfect choice to watch during the festive season. The star-studded romantic comedy is the story of two women who live 6,000 miles apart and meet online at a home exchange website and impulsively switch homes for the holiday. The cast includes Hollywood heavyweights like Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, and Jack Black.

For a bit of mischievous holiday adventure, subscribers can watch the hilarious The Night Before, which tells the story of three lifelong friends (played by Seth Rogen, Joseph Gordon Levitt, and Anthony Mackie) who spend the night in New York City looking for the ultimate Christmas party.

The story of Santa Clause comes to live with a touch of Disney Magic in The Santa Clause trilogy, starring Tim Allen, which tells the story of an ordinary man who inadvertently makes Santa fall off his roof on Christmas Eve, and is magically recruited to take his place. The adventures of the new Santa continue with 2 equally-popular sequels (The Santa Clause 2 and The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause) - also available on STARZPLAY.

Disney fans will also have a variety of titles that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike, including One Magic Christmas, I’ll Be Home for Christmas, The Search for Santa Paws, Santa Paws 2: The Santa Pups, Santa Buddies, in addition to The Muppet Christmas Carol, which brings a lively and whimsical interpretation of the classic Charles Dickens novel A Christmas Carol.

And there’s more! STARZPLAY subscribers can enjoy the heartwarming and funny story of A dysfunctional family that gathers for their first Christmas since their mom died in Almost Christmas; or follow Prince Leopold, heir to the throne of Cordinia, as he wishes to marry his young love Emily Taylor, a humble seamstress from Philadelphia against the will of his Queen mother in A Royal Christmas, or enjoy The intertwined stories of four generations of Coopers unfold right before the annual family reunion on Christmas Eve in the fantasy comedy Love the Coopers, starring Steve Martin, Diane Keaton and John Goodman.
