Four Hallmark Movies With Military Themes To Watch This Christmas

by Staff Writer

Everyone knows someone in the military. And if you have served, or are a military spouse or dependent, you know how important the holidays are and spending family time together. Watching holiday movies with military themes can foster even more holiday joy for military families and those who love and support the military.

Here are two of our favorite Christmas movies featuring the Navy and Army, and a new one that looks really good featuring the Marine Corps.

USS Christmas

Maddie, a reporter for a Norfolk newspaper, embarks on a Tiger Cruise during Christmastime where she meets a handsome naval officer and stumbles upon a mystery in the ship’s archive room.

This movie was actually filmed in Norfolk, Virginia and written by Dateline correspondent, Andrea Canning, who is married to a former Marine Corp fighter pilot. Look for beautiful water views and a patriotic romance.

Watch on Amazon Prime.

Five More Minutes

Five More Minutes is about a woman’s Christmas wish is answered in unexpected ways when her late grandfather’s journal turns up and reveals an untold romance.

While this story was shot in Canada, it is set in Fayetteville, NC and around Ft. Bragg. Fayetteville has never looked so charming! This is a heartwarming story with a sweet twist at the end. Bring your hanky!

Five More Minutes is inspired by Scott MCreary’s song of the same name.  McCreary is a country music singer who rose to fame after winning the tenth season of American Idol in 2011.

Watch on Amazon.
