Are you more of a Love Actually or Home Alone fan? See which iconic Christmas movie you are, based on your star sign.

2020 Christmas movies that are so bad they're good

We get to the bottom of which Christmas movies will resonate most with each of the star signs.

It’s the festive season but what Christmas movie should you choose to add a little cheer to your December?

We have done the investigating for you!

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

Your personality: Your fierce independence marches to the beat of your own drum as you are renowned for your assertiveness, motivation and fearlessness. Possessing abundant energy, your mind can sometimes run into overdrive and you are at risk of pushing yourself to physical extremes.

Your greatest weakness is that you are sometimes too self-involved and unaware of the feelings of others. The symbol for Aries is the combative ram, as you charge into situations until you smash down any obstacles.

Your fire element ensures personality traits such as enthusiasm, spontaneity and bravery. Always on a journey of self-discovery, you have a burning desire to explore new interests and ambitions.

Your movie choice: Eloise at Christmastime

With her bold energy and tendency to mow down almost every member of the Plaza Hotel to get things done, this movie will certainly resonate with your no-holds-barred assertiveness.

Just like Eloise, you’re vivacious, passionate and brave, even in the face of suspicious would-be husbands and brownnosing secretaries.

Taurus (Apr 21 – May 21)

Your personality: The most dedicated of all zodiac signs, Bulls are famed for their determination in all aspects of life. You have a keen aesthetic sense and your affectionate nature, loyalty and problem-solving abilities top your list of best qualities. As for weaknesses, you can be stubborn, self-indulgent and overly materialistic.

Your movie: It’s a Wonderful Life

Stubborn to the nth degree, you’re not one to give up on your ideals, whether that’s to travel the world, not to get married or to continue the family business. A ‘salt of the Earth’ type person, you aren’t easily swayed, however, when you find someone close to you, such as one Mary Hatch, your loyalty is enduring.

Gemini (May 22 – Jun 22)

Your personality: Geminis are articulate, communicative and curious. As the sign of the Twins, you are multifaceted, with many strings to your bow and various talents at your disposal.

You crave continuous stimulation and are always seeking new and exciting people, places and challenges. Among your best qualities are your adaptability, friendliness and quicksilver wit. As for weaknesses you can be superficial, a gossipmonger and most of all inconsistent.

Your movie: The Holiday (Amanda)

You might live a glamorous life, like Amanda, but sometimes you can’t help but feel that there’s a side of you that’s not getting its time in the sun.

When things hit the fan you might find that your dominant personality comes out (such as when you kick your cheating husband out of the house), but there’s a softer side to you that people can’t get enough of, especially hunky British men played by Jude Law.

Gemini might get a bad rap for having split personalities, but that’s exactly what gives you the resilience to find your footing no matter what life throws at you.

Cancer (Jun 23 – Jul 23)

Cancers are tenacious, empathetic and sentimental dreamers limited by no boundaries when it comes to their imagination. You care very deeply about your friends, family and home. Among your best qualities are your persuasiveness and loyalty. As for weaknesses, at times you can be moody, clingy and insecure.

Those born under the sign of Cancer tend to be more introverted and are quite challenging to get to know well. You are naturally gifted at reading people and can almost always tell when something is wrong.

Your movie: Love Actually

You feel the full gambit of emotions, just like little Sam, who has fallen in love with his beautiful classmate Joanna. Your feelings consume you, but you like to think things through internally before you speak to others about it – Aka confess the ‘total agony’ of your love to your dad (who is Liam Neeson in this situation).

You’re the sort to run through airports after your loved ones, but also get moody when things don’t go to plan.

Leo (Jul 24 – Aug 23)

Your personality: Leos are bold, energetic, and courageous. As the Kings and Queens of the zodiac, you are natural leaders, ready to roar and blaze a trail.

You seek the limelight and are driven by a desire to be loved and admired. Among your best qualities are loyalty, bravery, and confidence. (Although, many Leos are incredibly shy in childhood). As for weaknesses, you can be egoistic, proud, and arrogant.

Your movie: Bridget Jones

OK, so there is a lot of argument over whether this is a Christmas film or not but for the sake of the fact it involves ugly Christmas sweaters in the plot line, we’re going to roll with it.

Just like Bridget you have the energy of 1000 men and want to make something of yourself.

You love to express yourself and want to find love, however as we know this doesn’t always go to plan (particularly with randy bosses like Daniel strutting around British publishing houses). You’re engaging and have a flair for the dramatic, and most of all you want to be accepted ‘just as you are’.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 23)

Your personality: Virgos are smart, correct, and analytical. The perfectionist of the zodiac, you are always striving for excellence.

This can mean that you are especially hard on yourself when you feel your best isn’t good enough. Among your best qualities are your precision, intelligence, and reliability.

As for weaknesses, you can be critical, overly cautious and cold. Your moral standards are second to none, and your priorities are worthy of a gold medal.

Your movie: A Princess Switch

You like to have everything together and precision perfect, but sometimes your ordered life doesn’t provide the opportunities you need.

Just like talented baker Stacy DeNovo, striving for perfection might end up taking you to new environments – such as pretending to be the future partner of a handsome prince in a fictional land called Belgravia.

Your moral standards will set you in good stead to handle anything life throws your way.

Libra (Sep 24 – Oct 23)

Your personality: Librans are charming, sociable and polished. As the symbol for Libra is the scales, you are like a pendulum, perpetually seeking perfect balance.

A harmonious atmosphere brings out the best in you, whereas a chaotic environment is your worst nightmare. You live according to a strict code of truth, equality and fairness, and you are not afraid to speak up for what you believe is right.

Your best qualities are your diplomacy, attractive personality, and lovely manners. As for weaknesses, you can come across as aloof and indecisive.

Your movie: The Holiday (Iris)

You’ve got a picturesque life, but decisions have never been your strong suit – like Iris trying to decide if the man she’s been in love with for the last five years is really worth all the heartache?

Like Iris, make moves to avoid the chaos (with a house swap to beautiful LA??) and indulge in all of your creature comforts while using your charming personality to woo those around you. Life isn’t always fair, so when it comes down to it – you’ll be able to find that inner … gumption … that exists within you but doesn’t always rise to the surface.

Scorpio (Oct 24 – Nov 22)

Your personality: Scorpios are intense, passionate, and powerful. With emotions that run as deep as the ocean floor, your loyalty no knows bounds. However, if threatened, you can inflict a disabling sting with your notorious Scorpion tail.

But to those that are trustworthy, you’re insanely protective. Infamous for your ruthlessness, you will uncompromisingly cut off people that cross you.

Hell hath no fury like a Scorpio scorned! Jealousy and suspicion can be your undoing and sometimes, you need to reign in your obsessive tendencies. All that said, you are often misunderstood, as your intensity stems from a great depth of feeling and dedication to your loved ones.

Your movie: Die Hard

Again, massive debate over whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie but we’re just going to say it is. Like John McClane when you find yourself in an absolute mess in Nakatomi Plaza, your protective instincts kick in.

However, your tenacity and strength is often due to your deep loyalty and love for those who are close to you in life – such as McClane’s estranged wife Holly. Let’s just say if anyone gets between you and your closest people, “Yippee-Ki-Yay, Motherf***er.”

Sagittarius (Nov 23 – Dec 21)

Your personality: Sagittarians are optimistic and adventurous. A free-spirited bohemian, you are the most likely of all zodiac signs to travel the world. Your thirst for knowledge drives you to explore different philosophies and religions, and you have a deep affection for multicultural people and places.

You are on an eternal quest for truth, possessing a strong belief system that you are willing to fight for to uphold. Being a spontaneous soul, you often make decisions in the spur of the moment. Among your best qualities are honesty, positivity and a firm set of principles.

As for weaknesses, you can be blunt, preachy and often do things to excess.

Your movie: The Santa Clause

When the unthinkable happens, such as salesman Scott Calvin accidentally startling Santa who then falls to his death, your inner adventurer with its zest for life comes out to save the day.

Like Calvin, the prospect of steady sameness might rub the wrong way with your spontaneity (like finding out you have to be Santa for the rest of your life).

You can be pretty blunt at times, but your sense of freedom and affection for others spurs you on to do what has to be done and fill the shoes … or in this case, the suit.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)

Your personality: Aspiring, serious and grounded, you’re the #bossbabe of the Zodiac, preferring to depend on your own abilities rather than rely on others. As a result, you’re fiercely independent. Shyness often plagues you in childhood. Yet, ruled by time-lord Saturn, you can be a late bloomer.

Achievements are born from sheer grit and hard work. Highly ambitious, you set your sights high and quietly work towards conquering your goals.

Your movie: Miracle on 34th Street

You know what you want and how to get it, so this film about a court case trying to prove that Santa is real will be right up your street. Like lawyer Fred Gailey, you’re highly ambitious and live with two feet firmly planted in the real world.

You are aware of your skills and abilities to do what some might say is impossible – including proving that Santa exists.

Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 19)

Your personality: Aquarians want to fight the good fight! Inventive and progressive, you’re beaming with creative new thoughts and ideas. Possessing a kind heart and a strong sense of justice, you’re not afraid to speak up for your beliefs.

One thing’s for sure; you’re fiercely independent, determined to dance to the beat of your own drum. As a child, your rebellious streak may have caused concern for your parents.

Your movie: Home Alone

Just like Kevin McCallister you occasionally find yourself in a comedy of errors brought on by your inner rebel, such as ruining family dinner, being sent to the attic and then accidentally getting left behind.

However, you know how to make the best of a bad situation and enjoy your freedom and alone time. Your kindness and creativity will always stand you in good stead for whatever life throws at you.

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)

Your personality: Those born under the sign of the Fish are often creatively gifted with a natural talent for art and music. Your best qualities are your kindness and vivid imagination.

As for weaknesses, you can be anxious, overly sensitive and out of touch with reality. Pisces is a water sign, indicating a perpetual state of fluidness, able to adapt to most situations. To others, you can come across as a deep ocean of mystery, a human enigma or a wild child with flowers in her hair.

Your movie: A Christmas Prince

Just like Amber Moore, you can be single-mindedly ambitious, albeit a little unhinged or ‘away with the fairies’ at times. You find your feet in any situation (even when you’re sent on a last minute press trip to the fictional world of Aldovia) and are optimistic about the way things will turn out.

Like Moore, people will see your imagination and playfulness on first impressions, but they will fall in love with your sweet personality and good nature.
