It is finally that time of the year! Christmas time is upon us and if you are anything like me, you are looking for some instant holiday cheer. Luckily, Netflix has movies galore to satisfy your holiday film cravings. Whether you’re looking for some holiday classics or something new, Netflix has you covered. So, settle in and grab some hot cocoa, because it’s Christmas movie season!
Let it Snow
In the mood for a breezy holiday romance? Or three? This new Netflix original delivers big Love Actually vibes. Let it Snow is a cheery holiday season rom com that covers three overlapping love stories. This movie not only captures its audience with its sweet tales of romance, but it also highlights the drama in friendships and the importance of platonic love. Lately many of the holiday Netflix originals are following in Hallmark’s footsteps, and not that we don’t all love a good Hallmark Christmas movie every now and then, but Let it Snow has a great old fashioned Rom-Com feel.
A Christmas Prince
This Netflix original became a breakout hit last holiday season for its impeccably cheesy plot, prompting a sequel and a soon to be released the third installment of the series. A Christmas Prince is seemingly the foundation of this suddenly massive selection of cookie cutter Christmas films available on Netflix, and we aren’t complaining. The story follows a determined journalist who is sent to Aldonia to get the inside scoop on their controversial prince and the complicated love story that ensues. It is the perfect feel-good Christmas movie!
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
This one feels like a no-brainer. The live action rendition of How the Grinch Stole Christmas is available on Netflix and it’s serving all types of nostalgic vibes. This Christmas classic follows the relationship between the holiday-loving town of Whoville and a holiday-hating Grinch. When the Grinch decides he’s finally had enough of all the holiday spirit, he is determined to Christmas from coming. Instead, he crosses paths with a little girl named Cindy Lou Who, who teaches him the true spirit of the season. Get ready for your heart to grow three sizes!
Tree Man
This documentary is not your typical holiday movie. In the midst of the holiday chaos, many people don’t take the time to consider where their beloved Christmas trees came from and how they ended up in their hometowns. This documentary follows Francois, the “Tree Man”, and the complicated, and sometimes emotional journey he takes from Quebec every Christmas season to bring holiday cheer to New Yorkers; this is a perfect way to reflect on all the people who work hard to make this special season so cheerful. Tree Man is exactly what you need to spice up you usual holiday movie routine!
Happy binging!!
