Now that the Coronavirus has been officially declared a global pandemic, many people are choosing to self-isolate and remain at home to curb the spread of infection, if not actually living in a state of lockdown.
However, it's natural to find this period of self-isolation and social distancing unusual and tricky to deal with. That's where it's important to keep yourself entertained and your mind active.

It's also the perfect opportunity to curl inside a nice cozy blanket, pour yourself a mug of hot chocolate, and start binge-watching a whole bunch of movies and TV shows.
If that's something you're interested in yourself, then you might be pleased to know that the Hallmark channel has released its new schedule of Christmas movies, for the benefit of those who want to watch them while staying in quarantine for the next few weeks.

So there you have it guys: I know it sucks that we're all stuck indoors, and some of us are beginning to feel the cabin fever pretty badly. However, just because you're self-isolating doesn't necessarily mean that you have to be bored to tears, and with these movies to watch over the weekend, you can feel like Christmas has come early this year.
