You're far from alone in considering the 1997 neo-noir classic "L.A. Confidential" to be a Christmas movie, but it's a bit of a reach.

PopSugar.com calls it "Christmas-adjacent" and admits that "there's nothing festive about the plot," but the site nonetheless includes the film in its list of "11 Christmas movies for anyone who hates the holiday season." That's not to say you have to hate the holidays to love the movie, just that it manages to be Christmas-themed without being festive.

The Sound of Music, on ABC

Julie Andrews stars as Maria, a young nun who leaves the convent to become a governess, in this beloved musical. The film is based on the iconic Rodgers and Hammerstein stage musical and also stars Christopher Plummer as the widowed dad, Capt. Von Trapp.

The Late Late Show With James Corden

You know the Butterball Turkey-Talk Line? It's the hotline that people call for help cooking their Thanksgiving meal. Well, it's back for the 40th year, and for the first time, this year, they have announced that you can even reach them via TikTok. Yeah, cool, because that's what I want when I'm struggling to cook a turkey: to be bullied online by a bunch of anonymous teenagers.
