We have officially arrived. The Christmas season is officially upon us. While many of us have been secretly listening to Christmas music, watching Elf, and dreaming of sugarplums for a few weeks now, it is finally acceptable to wear our Christmas spirit on our sleeves. However, between the 25 Days of Christmas, Lifetime, and every other channel having round the clock holiday movies, it can all get a little overwhelming. I have compiled a list for everything you need to know about what Netflix has to offer on the holiday movie scene!
Holiday in Handcuffs
Starring the lovely Melissa Joan Hart and Mario Lopez, Holiday in Handcuffs tells the story of Trudie (Hart) who kidnaps David (Lopez) to take him home for the holidays.
Christmas Cupid
Sloane (Christina Milian) is married to her job— that is until Jacob Marley comes along bringing her through Christmas past, present, and future. Along her journey, Sloane learns a thing or two about having a dream job or having love.
12 Dates of Christmas
12 Dates of Christmas is the Groundhog’s Day of Christmas. Kate relives her first date on Christmas Eve with cute-guy Miles. Will Kate finally be able to get the date right, or will she run out of chances?
Polar Express
Need I say more? We are beyond fortunate that this gem is available to us on Netflix 24 hours a day during the holiday season. This is pretty much the ultimate Christmas classic. Based upon the Chris Van Allsburg book, the Polar Express follows a young boy on his journey to discover the magic of Christmas.

My roommates and I get pretty into Christmas. One look into our dorm room and you will see a completely decked out room including a nine and a half foot tree. However, we fail in comparison to the people featured in this TLC special. Sit back, relax, and take in the spectacle that is Extreme Christmas Trees.
