Prom sells like a hot cake theme in Hollywood. No matter how old you get, the idea of prom remains evergreen. This is why the entertainment industry has been making tons of movies since the idea of prom came into existence. Some of these movies are either chick flicks or comedies.

The older these movies get, the better they feel. Let’s check out some of these prom-themed movies and know why they are a must-watch this Christmas season.
