The Christmas Candle

If you are looking for a more traditional type of Christmas movie, The Christmas Candle could be the kind of thing you are looking for. This movie is set in England in the 19th century and is all about belief, miracles, and the religious side of the Christmas holiday. In this movie, tradition and new ideas are melded together in a way that shows that Christmas brings miracles and happy endings.

According to Google’s synopsis of the movie:

"In 19th-century England, a minister’s quest to modernize his village puts him at odds with people who believe that whoever lights the candle that an angel touched will receive a miracle on Christmas Eve."

Yes, this movie is definitely pretty corny, and it’s probably not for everyone. But if you love a period piece and some religious drama involved with your Christmas movies, this movie could be for you. The film might remind you of Charles Dickens and the side of Christmas and days gone by.

Keep in mind that this movie is somewhat religious, so it might not be something you’re into and that’s all right. But for some people, this movie will be just what they are looking for. Netflix has a little something for everyone when it comes to Christmas and winter-themed movies, so sometimes it’s fun to try new things even if they might be a little on the cheesy side.
