As recent restrictions have resulted in the cancelling of many of our favourite activities this year, there's no doubt that we'll be turning to our digital devices for entertainment.
To help you work out how much time you'll spend watching films or festive fare on TV during this period, we've created an online calculator. Simply enter the films you want to watch, and find out how long you'll be in front of your screen for.
After conducting a poll of 2,000 Brits, our research team found that the average adult will be working, watching, or scrolling on a screen for more than 57 hours over the Christmas break.
We've listed a breakdown of our findings below, as well as the top Christmas films of the year in the UK. Just remember to take regular breaks in-between viewings, so your eyes can have a rest.
