Throughout December, flyers will be able to get through their long-haul journey with best movies and meals to get you in the spirit. Emirates' ice entertainment will be showing classics such as It's a Wonderful Life, White Christmas, Miracle on 34th Street, Home Alone and Scrooged, as well as TV specials including The Office and Family Guy. Kids' specials include The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom and The Snowman, plus they've introduced a Christmas music playlist on flights for the first time.
