Channel your inner Cameron Diaz, crank up some Killers tunes, and drink dry red wine with her during this roller coaster of emotions flick.
“Blanc” means white and Vidal is a classy and elegant wine, just like tap dancing crooners in Vermont with all that snow in White Christmas.
Polar Express is all about hot chocolate- not only does Norton showcase delightful cocoa notes, but if you have it with dark chocolate you will feel like you are on the train… If you just believe.
The Grinch demonstrated saint-like qualities when his heart grew three sizes and he saved Christmas. Feel your heart grow with St Vincent, which also pairs wonderfully with turkey and cranberry sauce (and roast beast, who-pudding, and who-hash).

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
