December is well and truly in full swing, which can only mean one thing: an onslaught of ridiculously festive Christmas movies from Netflix (all of which, yes, we’ll be watching this winter). And with not too many doors left to open on our advent calendars until Christmas Day, we’re in full festive TV mode.

New movies Hot Frosty, The Merry Gentlemen and That Christmas will be joining a sumptuous list of festive films from the streaming giant, including musical extravaganzas like Jingle Jangle, iconic Netflix OGs (hello, The Princess Switch!) and some big Christmas classics.

To help you ease into that festive spirit, we’ve rounded up a list of what’s dropping and when.

All that’s left to do is load up on festive snacks, pull on your ugliest Christmas jumper and settle back into your duvet cocoon for a feel-good viewing party.

Meet Me Next Christmas

“In pursuit of a fairy-tale romance with the man of her dreams, Layla (Christina Milian) must race through New York City to get her hands on the hottest ticket in town: the sold-out Pentatonix Christmas Eve Concert. At the show, she hopes to reconnect with the dashing James (Kofi Siriboe), a love interest so charming, he’s the only present Layla wants under her tree this Christmas,” reads the official film synopsis.

Hot Frosty

Is it possible to fall in love with a snowman? In this new film, absolutely. Two years after losing her husband, Kathy (Lacey Chabert) magically brings a handsome snowman to life. Through his naivete, the snowman, Jack, (Dustin Milligan) helps Kathy to laugh, feel and love again, as the two fall for each other just in time for the holidays. And before he melts.

That Christmas

The Love Actually director, Richard Curtis, is back in his festive era with an animated movie to light up the holiday season. Based on Curtis’ own trilogy of children’s books, That Christmas tells a series of connected tales about family and friends, love and loneliness and Santa Claus making a big mistake.

Available to stream now.

The Merry Gentlemen

Just because it’s Christmas doesn’t mean that we can’t indulge in a little spicy fun. The Merry Gentlemen is the story of a steamy musical revue that just might save Christmas, starring Britt Robertson and Chad Michael Murray. To save the Rhythm Room, Ashley’s parents’ small-town performing arts venue, she has to stage an all-male, Christmas-themed revue, including the kind, confident and slightly sarcastic Luke.

Available to stream now.

Our Little Secret

In Our Little Secret, Lindsay Lohan finds herself trapped in exactly the type of holiday getaway her character, Avery, was hoping to avoid: a week with her ex-boyfriend Logan (Ian Harding). Though they’ve been apart for some time and their current partners are siblings, Logan knows Avery better than anyone else. So, what’s the worst that could happen?

Available to stream now.

Falling For Christmas

This Christmas cracker of a movie plays with our hearts (and some of our favourite – albeit possibly overused – tropes) as a newly engaged, spoiled hotel heiress (Lindsay Lohan) gets into a skiing accident, suffers from total amnesia and finds herself in the care of a handsome, blue-collar lodge owner (Chord Overstreet) and his precocious daughter in the days leading up to Christmas.

Available to stream now.

The Noel Diary

When bestselling author Jake Turner (Justin Hartley) returns home at Christmas to settle his estranged mother’s estate, he discovers a diary that may hold secrets to his own past. It also, though, spins a story about Rachel (Barrett Doss), a mysterious young woman on a mission of her own. Together, they embark on a journey to confront their pasts and discover a future that’s totally unexpected…

Available to stream now.

Scrooge: A Christmas Carol

Fancy another adaptation of A Christmas Carol, eh? Netflix has you covered with this animated film, which boasts the voice talents of Luke Evans, Olivia Colman, Jessie Buckley, Johnny Flynn, Fra Fee, Giles Terera, Trevor Dion Nicholas, James Cosmo and Jonathan Pryce.

Available to stream now.

Single All The Way

Netflix’s first LGBTQ+ holiday romcom released a couple of years ago, and it’s a good ’un. Perpetually single Peter (Michael Urie) convinces his friend Nick (Philemon Chambers) to be his fake-boyfriend for the holidays to fool his family (Kathy Najimy and Jennifer Coolidge), but when his mum sets him up on a blind date with her handsome trainer James (Luke Macfarlane), the plan goes awry.

Available to stream now.

Love Hard

Starring Nina Dobrev, Love Hard follows Natalie Bauer, a young woman from Los Angeles, as she falls for a seemingly perfect man that she has been talking to on a dating app. Impulsively, she decides to travel to his East Coast hometown at Christmas to surprise him, only to discover she has been catfished. Her crush does happen to live in the town, and the man that tricked her offers to set them up, but only if she agrees to pretend to be his girlfriend for the holidays.

Available to stream now.

A Castle For Christmas

Yes, that’s Cary Elwes from The Princess Bride. This story follows Sophie (Brooke Shields), a famed American author who travels to Scotland and finds herself wanting to buy a castle, but the prickly owner, a Scottish Duke named Myles (Cary Elwes), is reluctant to sell to a foreigner. Working to find a compromise, the pair constantly butt heads, but… well, we have a feeling that their hate-at-first-sight vibes will give way to something else before too long.

Available to stream now.

Robin Robin

This impossibly charming contribution from Aardman Animations sees a family of mice adopt a lost robin and raise her as one of their own. Not quite a bird and not quite a mouse, but full of determination. Robin sets out on an adventure to prove herself… and just maybe, get a sandwich.

Available to stream now.

Holidate

Fed up with being harassed by their families over their single status, two impossibly attractive strangers (Emma Roberts and Luke Bracey) agree to be each other’s platonic plus-ones all year long. In true Hollywood fashion, though, it isn’t long before they catch real feelings along the way…

Available to stream now.

A Christmas Prince

In this fluffy royal romcom, Christmas comes early for an aspiring young journalist when she’s sent abroad to get the scoop on a dashing prince who’s poised to be king. And, once you’ve streamed this one, you need to check out the sequels; there’s A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding, the plot of which should be obvious from the title, and A Christmas Prince: The Royal Baby.

The Christmas Prince trilogy is available to stream now.

Klaus

After proving himself to be the worst postman at the academy, our hero is sent to a frozen town in the North where he discovers Santa Claus is hiding out.

Available to stream now.

Available to stream now.

Let It Snow

Dubbed the Gen Z version of Love Actually, this festive flick sees a snowstorm hit a small midwestern town on Christmas Eve, bringing together a group of high school students. They soon find their friendships and love lives colliding, and come Christmas morning, nothing will be the same.

Operation Christmas Drop

Congressional aide Erica Miller (Kat Graham) is chasing a promotion, so she decides to forgo her traditional family Christmas in favour of a trip across the Pacific at her boss’ behest. 

Her mission? To find reasons to defund a beachside Air Force base, which quickly leads to a clash with her handsome guide, Captain Andrew Jantz (Alexander Ludwig). However, as she learns more about the customs and communal spirit of Andrew’s adopted home, Erica soon softens… and sparks quickly begin to fly. Because of course they do.

Available to stream now.

Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey

Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey is a musical adventure set in the fictional town of Cobbleton, home to legendary toymaker Jeronicus Jangle (Forest Whitaker). So far, so festive. 

When Jeronicus’ ex-apprentice steals his most prized invention, though, it’s down to his bright and inventive granddaughter Journey (Madalen Mills) to “heal old wounds and reawaken the magic within” with a long-forgotten invention – a magical robot named Buddy.

Available to stream now.

The Princess Switch

In the OG Princess Switch, Stacy (Vanessa Hudgens) travels to the Kingdom of Belgravia and finds that she and Queen Margaret (also Vanessa Hudgens) are exact lookalikes. In the second film, there was a third doppelganger in the form of Margaret’s party-girl cousin Fiona (Hudgens again, this time distinguishable from the others due to her blonde hair). And, in the Scottish-based threequel, it’s up to that same lookalike to help Stacy and Margaret find a priceless royal heirloom that’s been stolen.

The Princess Switch trilogy is available to stream now.

The Christmas Chronicles (parts 1 and 2)

In these films, two children attempt to capture Santa Claus (Kurt Russell), only to find themselves teaming up with him and his loyal elves to save Christmas before it’s too late.

Both films are available to stream now.
