7. Step Brothers (2008)
Redditor flemdog645 suggested watching Step Brothers during the Christmas season. The user wrote, “I’ve always been adamant that Step Brothers is a Christmas movie. It ends on Christmas morning and a pivotal scene takes place around Christmas.” The movie is about two adult brothers who do not act their age. Overall, the movie is light and funny. There’s one scene where both of them bring a Christmas tree to their parents’ bedroom that creates chaos.
