10) The Christmas Truce – Joyeux Noël (2005)

In Joyeux Noël, the Christmas Truce in World War I is turned into a profoundly emotional moment of humanity amidst the war horror. The soldiers of both sides put down their arms on Christmas Eve, share songs, food, and even play soccer together. The moment they gift each other and look into the mirror of their humanity is beautiful and heartbreakingly so, reminding us that power in peace is so short-lived. It indicates that Christmas spirit can come through moments of connection and compassion at the darkest time of human existence, thus providing hope in the most unlikely place.
