In the recent years, Netflix has been creating its own content. This includes TV shows such as Orange is the New Black, Stranger Things, and House of Cards in addition to movies such as To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before and The Kissing Booth.

In the past two years, Netflix has begun to produce what some might call ‘the modern Hallmark Christmas movie’. Netflix’s large selection of original holiday programs can be overwhelming, so here are a few to watch this holiday season:

  1. The Holiday Calendar




This movie was released this year and features Vampire Diaries star, Kat Graham as Abby Sutton. Abby feels stuck in her life when she receives a magical advent calendar from her Grandfather. The calendar predicts the events of each day and begins to change her luck around. This movie also has a love triangle, and lots of joy and snow – the perfect combination for any good holiday movie. Watch the trailer here!

  1. A Princess Switch


 

Also released this year, this movie is the perfect combination of the Parent Trap and any Hallmark Christmas movie ever made. High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens plays both of the main characters, Stacy De Novo and Lady Margaret. This movie has everything: a baking competition, holiday cheer, and a handsome prince! What more could you ask for? Watch the trailer here!
