Why a Holiday Movie Bracket?
You might be wondering, why a holiday movie bracket? Well, guys, with so many amazing Christmas films out there, it's hard to pick just one favorite. A bracket lets us pit them against each other, tournament-style, until we crown the ultimate holiday movie champion. Sound like fun? Let's do this!
How the Holiday Movie Bracket Works
Our holiday movie bracket will follow a simple, NCAA-style March Madness format. Here's how it works:
1. Seeding: We've seeded the movies based on their popularity, critical acclaim, and personal faves. The top seeds will face off against the lowest seeds in the first round.
2. Voting: Each round, you'll vote for your favorite movie. The winner moves on to the next round until we have our champion.
3. Schedule: We'll run one round per week, so you'll have plenty of time to rewatch (or watch for the first time) each matchup.
