Ho-ho-ho, the Santa Claus month is right here! As unreal as it might sound, this means that we’re finally well into December, which marks the end of what has been an extremely bizarre year. Now, with the festivities knocking on our doors, it calls for the need to end this year on a well-strung and cheerful note. It’s the time to step back, snug up with our loved ones, and reel in the warmth of Christmas.
In these pandemic-affected times, perhaps the best way to spend the holidays would be inside our homes, with lots of cakes and good wine, and well-curated holiday movies to go along with it. Like the other years, Netflix this time around too has assembled up an impressive collection of holiday and Christmas-themed films for our viewing.
For those craving for more, there are plenty, including Home for Christmas 2 and the third season of The Great British Baking Show: Holidays. The streaming service has a little bit of everything too, from classic Christmas movies like White Christmas and How the Grinch Stole Christmas to newer favourites, including Netflix original films A Christmas Prince, The Christmas Chronicles, and The Princess Switch.
Below, we have listed all the Christmas films and series currently streaming on Netflix that you can look forward to watching.
