Gifting season is upon us and here at Beetham, we've been inspired by our favourite characters from classic Christmas films. What would Iris from The Holiday love to see under the tree? How would Kevin McCallister restock his holiday survival kit?
From sentimental keepsakes for George Bailey to high-octane gifts for John McClane, this guide captures the spirit of Christmas by diving into these beloved characters so you can be inspired for your loved ones.
