For many families, Christmas means: get on the couch and watch films! But which is THE Christmas film? Actor Sven Martinek has a clear favorite.
Sven Martinek, known for his role as a tough investigator in the series “Morden im Norden,” reveals a softer side when it comes to holiday traditions. When asked about his go-to Christmas movie, he surprised many by choosing a classic from 1980 over more contemporary options like “The Grinch” or “Die Hard.”
“‘The Little Lord’ is always part of my Christmas program,” Martinek shared. “It’s just such a sweet film. And I really enjoy those older movies.”
“The Little Lord” continues to resonate with audiences year after year. Does it also tug at Sven Martinek’s heartstrings?
Martinek isn’t alone in his affection for the film. Millions of viewers tune in to watch “Little Lord” on ARD each year, making it a beloved tradition for many families. The film has been a staple of German television since 1982, often airing on the Friday before Christmas.
