Joe Dante’s Christmas time creature feature comedy Gremlins is one of our very favorite holiday films, so let’s play it again!
The story begins when Billy Peltzer (Zach Galligan) receives a mysterious, adorable creature called a Mogwai as a Christmas gift from his father. With strict care instructions—no bright light, no water, and no feeding after midnight—Billy struggles to follow the rules, inadvertently unleashing a horde of mischievous, destructive gremlins on his quiet town. As the creatures wreak havoc, Billy and his girlfriend Kate (Phoebe Cates) race to stop the chaos and save their community.
Gremlins remains a beloved cult classic that redefined holiday-themed films and practically invented the need for the PG-13 rating. It’s funny, scary, and filled with holiday cheer all at the same time.
