"Everything is temporary!" my mom yelled, doing an exaggerated Brooklyn accent while gesturing with her hands in the Italian way. She was comforting me after a particularly bad breakup, and knew that quoting the one and only Cosmo Castorini would get a smile out of me. Growing up, my family watched Moonstruck so much it became like a family member.

It was our tradition to put it on every year during the Christmas break. With its chilly New York scenes, passionate characters in excellent wool coats, and emphasis on bread, bubbles, and big feelings, Moonstruck is absolutely a holiday movie — one that connects with people of all ages and lifestyles in the way that only a brilliant ensemble romcom can.
