If you're planning a family trip to Cineworld this festive season, there's plenty to choose from. In addition to our Christmas Movie Season, you can also feast on must-see blockbusters throughout December.
1. Paddington in Peru
Prepare those marmalade sandwiches and practice those hard stares because the effervescent Paddington franchise returns to our screens. It's been a while since the release of Paddington 2 (in 2017) and now the Ben Whishaw-voiced character, created by Michael Bond, returns to his home country of Peru to locate his origins. Series stalwarts Hugh Bonneville and Julie Walters are back while Emily Mortimer replaces Sally Hawkins.

2. Wicked
Stephen Schwartz's long-running Broadway phenomenon finally reaches the big screen in the first installment of a two-part musical epic. Discover the origin story of the witches of Oz with Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande playing the sisterly rivals on a collision course to change their entire world. Crazy Rich Asians director Jon M. Chu harnesses the magical wonder of Oz while the all-star support includes Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum.
3. Moana 2
Take to the high seas with the iconic Polynesian hero Moana in this long-awaited sequel. Disney's Moana 2 reunites us with the emboldened and increasingly adventurous title character (voiced once again by Auli'i Cravalho) who sets off on another mythic quest with her lunky demigod sidekick Maui (Dwayne Johnson). Expect more intoxicating visuals and ear-worming show tunes, this time from Opetaia Foaʻi, Abigail Barlow, and Emily Bear.
4. The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim (released December 13th)
The origin story of Middle-earth's Helm Hammerhand gripped readers when they discovered it in the appendices of J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. Now, this supplement has been expanded to a full-blown anime adventure with Succession's Brian Cox voicing the tenacious Rohan leader.

5. Mufasa: The Lion King (released December 20th)
Have you ever wondered how lion brothers Mufasa and Scar became rivals? This CG animated adventure, the prequel to Disney's 2019 reboot of The Lion King, provides the answer. Aaron Pierre and Kelvin Harrison Jr. voice the siblings in the days before Simba changed everything regarding Pride Rock. The photo-realistic CGI that distinguished the 2019 movie is very much on display while Oscar-winning director Barry Jenkins (Moonlight) is behind the camera.

6. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (released December 27th)
Keanu Reeves joins the live-action Sonic franchise to voice the nefarious Shadow. As the feared rival to both Sonic (Ben Schwartz) and Knuckles (Idris Elba), Shadow spells trouble, and that's before we consider the return of Jim Carrey's turning Doctor Robotnik. In fact, Carrey doubles up to play both the mad scientist and his equally deranged father.
