5 amazing movies to watch, whatever you're in the mood for post-Christmas

Christmas is in the books for another year, and we can’t tell which we’re more stuffed with, pigs in blankets or festive movies.

You probably feel like detoxing your belly with a week’s worth of salad, our eyes and minds need decluttering from all the tinsel and glitter too.

Thankfully we have just the thing, with a host of brilliant, festive-free movies to suit every mood.

But one isn’t enough - you’ve sat through three different versions of A Christmas Carol alone in the last five days. Here are five more movies and box sets to help stave off the post-Chrimbo blues…

Disney, Tim Burton and a magical flying elephant? Yes, 2019’s live-action remake of Dumbo is every bit as delightful as it sounds. Colin Farrell, Danny DeVito and Michael Keaton do their best to steal the show from the adorable baby elephant in a family-friendly flick which moves the story on from the original 1941 animation.

Messing with Mary Poppins felt risky - it’s basically the definition of a classic! - but we should never have doubted Disney would deliver. Emily Blunt’s Poppins will make you feel like an eight-year-old, sat cross-legged on your living room floor, staring at the television in wonder again.

Mindy Kaling found fame as Kelly Kapoor on the US version of The Office, but today she’s a bona fide A-lister, and it was The Mindy project that helped take her there. It follows gynecologist Mindy Lahiri (who is based on Kaling’s own mother!) as she attempts to balance a hectic work life with social exuberance. Want six full seasons of belly laughs and big-hearted drama? Look no further.

Tired of your own family after sleeping in your childhood bed for three straight nights? Ditch them for the Pritchetts, Dumphys and Delgados.
