Nothing gets me in the holiday spirit quite like a great movie. Sure, cozy candles, warm blankets, and swapping white wine for red help set the scene, but sinking into a cozy holiday film — new or old — is what really flips the switch. Lately, though, I've taken things a step further by borrowing decorating cues from those very movies. Whether that sounds a little extra or like a dream come true, I have a feeling my curations will leave you wanting to do the same.

In the slides ahead, you'll find cozy, Nancy Meyers–esque decorations that channel "The Holiday," '90s maximalist moments inspired by "Home Alone," slightly chaotic yet charming picks that take cues from "Elf," and more. And I've also covered all the decorating basics — from serveware and wall décor to lighting and textiles — so there's something for every corner of your home. The best part is that every item comes straight from Amazon, and most are available with Prime Two-Day Shipping, so you can start (or finish) your decorating ASAP.

“Love Actually:” The Comfortably Lived-In Aesthetic

Cue "Love Is All Around" playing on a loop for the rest of the damn day ("I can feel it in my fingers…"). This beloved early-aughts rom-com stitches together nine love stories, but one of the most gut-punching is the family in the photo above — where Karen (played by Emma Thompson) clings to the warmth and safety of her home even as her marriage to Harry (Alan Rickman) quietly falls apart. Devastating, yes. But also? Peak cozy holiday living room goals.

The whole space feels collected, not curated; the kind of home where the heat's cranked up, the kettle's already on, and someone's forever wandering in with a plate of cookies. If you're trying to recreate the same snug, lived-in magic, a few items that look straight out of this scene include the Lenox Serveware Hosting the Holidays Tree Plate ($12, originally $15), the AGCOLOR Hand-painted Gold Decorative Bowl ($43), Primitives by Kathy Holiday Joy Cotton Throw Pillow ($21), SunnyPark Christmas Table Centerpiece ($34, originally $37), and the Oriental Cherry Christmas Tree Framed Wall Art Picture ($56).

"Elf:" Everyday Christmas Chaos (In the Best Way)

Few holiday movies deliver comedy the way "Elf" does. You probably don't need the recap, but in case you've forgotten: after growing up in the North Pole, Buddy (Will Ferrell) heads to New York to meet his real father, Walter Hobbs (James Caan). Naturally, total chaos follows as he tries to adjust to the realities of city life — and, you know, the absence of Santa's elves.

Pictured here is the now-iconic moment when Buddy digs into a plate of spaghetti topped with maple syrup to satisfy the sugar cravings he picked up back home. The setting is the Hobbs family's kitchen, which looks wonderfully lived-in — the kind of space that feels real, functional, and sprinkled with just the right amount of Christmas cheer. It's messy in the most charming way.

To channel the movie's chaotic-yet-cheerful vibe, a few items that nail the look include the CHRORINE 16-Piece Christmas Winter White Paper Snowflake Decorations ($14, originally $16), the ZEERSHEE 24oz Clear Glass Candy Jar ($19), Pseutio 267 PCS Christmas Snowflake Window Stickers ($7), and GHOSTMAGIC 5Pcs Christmas Snowflake Wooden Tabletop Decor ($13, originally $14).

"The Holiday:" The Dreamy English Cottage Vibe

If you're craving something cozy and romantic, "The Holiday" is always the answer. The 2006 classic follows two women — Iris (Kate Winslet) in the English countryside and Amanda (Cameron Diaz) in Los Angeles — who swap homes for Christmas in the hopes of shaking up their lives. What they get instead is a full-on reset, complete with meet-cutes and roaring fireplaces. And while the cottage's tiny, infamous tub might be the first thing that comes to mind, it's the Nancy Meyers aesthetic of the space that really does it for me.

The cottage's festive touch is far softer than the others, making it ideal if you prefer understated coziness to more traditional, themed décor. The Bedsure Cable Knit Throw Blanket ($28, originally $36), ZWJD Throw Pillow Covers ($26), Affinity Decor Organic Acacia kitchen Cutting Chopping Board ($30), and Deco 79 Metal Handmade Tibetan Inspired Decorative Cow Bells ($21) are just a handful of examples of ways you can decorate and feel festive yet still calm.

"It's a Wonderful Life:" The Humble, Heart-First Home

If you're in the mood to be fully in your feels, cue up "It's a Wonderful Life." The 1946 film follows George Bailey (James Stewart), a small-town man who's spent years putting everyone else first, right up until he hits a breaking point on Christmas Eve. Besides the beautiful message that ultimately comes of the movie, the Bailey home is equally memorable: a big, slightly dilapidated Victorian that's equal parts chaotic and charming. Early on, it's full of peeling wallpaper, mismatched furniture, and creaky stair rails, but by Christmas it transforms into a cozy, bustling space that's humble yet full of heart. Embrace the movie's vibes with the Holiday Jingle Silver Christmas Bell Ornament ($19), the KEPSWET Cotton Handmade Crochet Lace Table Runner ($16), Jishi 50 FT Christmas Garland Silver Tinsel ($20), and Every Day is Christmas Ornament ($35).
