Time to throw on an ugly sweater, steep your fave tea and cuddle up with the best Christmas movies your streaming service has to offer.<\/p>\n<p>Our head office is filled with some staunch holiday revellers. So, of course, we took the opportunity to ask around for top picks for best Christmas films.<\/p>\n<p>Here are five of our favourite Christmas movie and tea duos you\u2019ll definitely want to steal for yourself.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Home Alone (1, 2 &amp; 3, but mostly 1)<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/p092OM3vVCXII\" width=\"480\" height=\"244\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/home-alone-macaulay-culkin-p092OM3vVCXII\" rel=\"noopener\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Obviously we couldn\u2019t have a Christmas movie round-up without this classic slapstick. Watching Kevin defend his family\u2019s home and duke it out with the Wet Bandits never gets old.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Pairing: <\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.davidstea.com\/ca_en\/tea\/candy-cane-crush\/10585DT01VAR0035072.html\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Candy Cane Crush<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s all about the cool mint, creamy white chocolate and candy canes. Like a kid in a candy store.<\/p>\n<h3>2. A Charlie Brown Christmas<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/DjmY61OlzO1sQ\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/peanuts-charlie-brown-a-christmas-DjmY61OlzO1sQ\" rel=\"noopener\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Christmas is steeped in tradition, and nothing says tradition like a classic 1965 animated television special. Plus, Linus\u2019 speech is a great reminder of the true meaning of the season.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Pairing: <\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.davidstea.com\/ca_en\/new\/collections\/the-santas-secret-shop\/santas-secret\/10205DT01VAR004044.html\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Santa\u2019s Secret<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Infused with peppermint and cute candy cane sprinkles, this black tea is as sweet as Snoopy.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Love Actually<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/l1ugcb0UgoWPJPSIE\" width=\"480\" height=\"204\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/filmeditor-movie-love-actually-l1ugcb0UgoWPJPSIE\" rel=\"noopener\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t want a lot for Christmas, there\u2019s just one thing we need\u2026 a cute movie and a cup of tea (obviously). And maybe a clone of Hugh Grant\u2019s character too.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Pairing: <\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.davidstea.com\/ca_en\/tea\/hot-chocolate\/10523DT01VAR0028694.html\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Hot Chocolate<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Get that extra warm and fuzzy feeling with a hot cup of fudgy and oh so rich pu\u2019erh.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Harry Potter and the Philosopher\u2019s Stone<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/bvAHdCC7xSA1O\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/harry-potter-christmas-daniel-radcliffe-bvAHdCC7xSA1O\" rel=\"noopener\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Not your average classic holiday film, but hear us out. It\u2019s got magic, there\u2019s a Christmas scene, plus how cute are Hermione, Harry and Ron? We knew you\u2019d come around.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Pairing: <\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.davidstea.com\/ca_en\/tea\/long-life-oolong\/10095DT01VAR003971.html\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Long Life Oolong<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Some things are meant to live forever \u2013 unlike he who must not be named and this peachy tea (so good it won\u2019t last long in your mug).<\/p>\n<h3>5. Elf<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/l2YWluoNgk342F3k4\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/filmeditor-will-ferrell-elf-l2YWluoNgk342F3k4\" rel=\"noopener\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Who can forget Buddy the Elf, full of love and trust, and his crazy adventures in the big city. \u201cIt really resonated with me [\u2026] you should\u2019ve seen me hail a taxi for the first time,\u201d commented our Tea Apprentice.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Pairing:<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.davidstea.com\/ca_en\/tea\/maple-syrup-oolong\/10694DT01VAR0060557.html\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Maple Syrup Oolong<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Yup, maple syrup in a tea.
