These Christmas movie hairstyles will get you in the mood for party season!
If you’re like us, you’ve already started thinking of all the Christmas movies you want to watch (we’ve lost count of how many times we’ve watched Love Actually!). And, there’s no denying that the festive hairstyles in these films are inspiring— so much so, we can see them working in RL.
So, if Instagram/Pinterest isn’t getting you into the party spirit, we suggest you get all your Christmas hair inspo from these Christmas movies.

Kate Winslet in The Holiday
Bet you didn’t know that Hollywood waves are winter’s version of beachy waves! Whether you team this elegant style with a sparkly dress or cosy sweater, you’ll be festive-ready for every occasion.
Editor’s tip: Using heat to create this lovely look? If so, make sure to use the TRESemmé Biotin + Repair 7 Primer Spray beforehand, to help avoid heat damage.
Taylor Momsen in The Grinch

Donna Reed in It’s a Wonderful Life
There’s nothing wrong with looking to vintage Christmas films for party hair inspiration. One of our favourites? It’s a Wonderful Life.
While you might not be able to get the moon as a Christmas pressie, you can sport Donna Reed’s picture-perfect curls and expect a lot of compliments.
Editor’s tip: Planning on going out? If you want this retro ‘do to last, you’ll need to set it with some shine spray.
For a glossy, frizz-free finish, try the VO5 Tame & Shine Spray. It’s lightweight, non-sticky formula will leave you with gleaming locks, all without weighing your look down.

Harley Jane Kozak in All I Want for Christmas
Just ask All I want for Christmas’ star Harley Jane Kozak, velvet bows are effortless, chic and the perfect festive hair accessory to team with a ponytail (be it high or low). Don’t forget the swanky earrings, will you?
Vanessa Hudgens in The Princess Switch
If anyone’s going to convince us to try a tiara for the festive period, it’s Vanessa Hudgens.
In her latest role for Netflix’s The Princess Switch, the star pairs this glitzy hair accessory with her short hairstyle — and we seriously suggest you do the same.
Elizabeth Perkins in Miracle on 34th Street
The red carpet glass hair trend has turned out to be one of the hottest winter hair trends of 2018. And, guess what? You can look to Elizabeth Perkins character from Miracle on 34th Street to see how you can pull it off for your next night out.
