Finding your holiday spirit might be difficult, especially if you already have a lot on your plate. However, for some folks, simply turning on Christmas music or doing home decoration is enough to lift their mood.

Spirited will be the latest addition to a long number of movies that have been based on Charles Dickens’ short story, including Scrooged (1988), Ms. Scrooge (1997), Disney’s A Christmas Carol (2009), and others.
