Most law students probably want to avoid thinking about the law over winter break, so a holiday-themed legal movie might not sound all that appealing. I was in the same boat, but after giving it a watch, I can see why Miracle on 34th Street is considered a Christmas classic. 

Released in 1947, Miracle on 34th Street received great critical acclaim and went on to win three Academy Awards, including Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor. While the technical aspects of the 76-year-old film are certainly dated, the story’s underlying message is timeless.
