Avengers: Doomsday Teaser

Marvel

The first teaser for Marvel's Avengers: Doomsday has arrived, with some rather unexpected news. The movie won't be released for another year, but I'm sure there will be more surprises along the way.

Avengers: Doomsday arrives in theaters on December 18, 2026.

Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree - Brenda Lee

Brenda Lee

This fun Christmas song made its debut in 1958 when Brenda Lee was just 13 years old. In 2023, for the 65th anniversary of "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree", she released a music video that is an absolute delight.

"At Christmas, play and make good cheer,

Santa Ornament at EPCOT

There are so many little holiday touches to be found throughout the parks at Disney World each Christmas. One of my favorite things are all of the ornaments sprinkled through the garlands in World Showcase at EPCOT. This Santa in a wreath of jingle bells was in the United Kingdom Pavilion. 

The Sheep Detectives

Amazon

There's something quite compelling about reading or watching a mystery, especially when it involves humor. And trying to solve the mystery before you reach the end is a delightful way to pass the time. A new mystery movie, The Sheep Detectives, is heading to theaters next May and it looks quite hilarious.

Here's the official synopsis from Amazon:

In this witty, new breed of mystery, George (Hugh Jackman) is a shepherd who reads detective novels to his beloved sheep every night, assuming they can’t possibly understand. But when a mysterious incident disrupts life on the farm, the sheep realize they must become the detectives. As they follow the clues and investigate human suspects, they prove that even sheep can be brilliant crime-solvers.

Starring Hugh Jackman, Nicholas Braun, Nicholas Galitzine, Molly Gordon, with Hong Chau and Emma Thompson, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Chris O’Dowd, Regina Hall, Patrick Stewart, Bella Ramsey, Rhys Darby.

The Sheep Detectives arrives in theaters in May of 2026.
