Why Sci-Fi Christmas movies? Because, relaxation with family and loved ones, gives you all the time to be goofy and experimental. This Christmas season, watch something different from the overwatched movies about the holidays.
Although the list below contains some popular movies, with the meaning they bring to this festive period, you will hopefully see them in a new light. They are arranged by order of the year they were released.
Gremlins (1984)
The date may discourage you but it is both Christmas and Sci-fi in one package. The popular movie is about a young boy; Billy. This boy gets a Christmas gift; a computer-generated creature named Mogwai. When he doesn’t follow instructions on routine care of this creature, he unknowingly unleashes horror.
Batman Returns (1992)
This Batman movie is not just set during Christmas time but most of the events are related to the festivities. Gift sharing, Christmas decorations and villains hiding in giant-sized Christmas packages to attack citizens. Batman and Catwoman are in a love-hate-uncertain relationship all-through the movie as they face the threats of Penguin and his allies.

The Polar Express (2004)
This movie is about a little boy who doesn’t believe in the existence of Santa Claus. Billy is the main character in this movie again. Billy here has a life-changing experience when he climbs aboard a mysterious train going to the North Pole. There he meets Santa himself and gets chosen to receive the first gift of Christmas.
The Polar Express has Christmas themed all around it and it is a computer-animated movie.
Prometheus (2012)
Named after the spaceship traveled on by a group of scientists following a map of the stars found in artifacts on earth. This sci-fi movie trails two scientists on opposite sides of spirituality; one an unbeliever and one a believer. The entire crew encounters computer-generated imagery (CGI) terrors when they reach their destination.
Besides depicting the Christmas spirit of spiritual reflection, it has a memorable scene of Idris Elba and a Christmas tree as the movie happens around Christmas in the year 2093.
Iron Man 3 (2013)
When one thinks of sci-fi, Tony Stark’s Iron Man suit comes to mind. In Iron Man 3 however, he has to focus more on his ingenuity after he suffers from insomnia and worry because of his over-dependence on his suit.
Like Prometheus, it may not be about Christmas unlike The Polar Express but it is set at that time of the year where it is all shiny and glittery. So, it does qualify as a Christmas movie.
