50 First Dates 

Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler in 50 First Dates (2004)

Set in dreamy Hawaii, 50 First Dates is like a little slice of sunshine in the middle of winter. This rom-com follows Henry (Adam Sandler) as he falls for Lucy (Drew Barrymore), only to discover she has short-term memory loss and forgets him every day. It’s heartfelt, funny, and has just the right amount of tropical escapism to brighten up a chilly day.

Ever After: A Cinderella Story

For a cozy, fairy-tale escape, Ever After is a winter must-watch. Barrymore brings charm and strength to this Cinderella retelling, where there’s no magic—just a smart, independent heroine rewriting her own story. The stunning 16th-century French setting, dreamy romance, and gorgeous costumes make it the perfect film to curl up with on a snow day.

Never Been Kissed

Drew shines in this rom-com classic as Josie, an awkward journalist who goes undercover at a high school, reliving her teenage years in all their cringey glory. It’s got romance, humor, and a heartwarming message about self-love and second chances. Plus, that final baseball stadium scene? Still iconic.

The Wedding Singer
