Looking for the best Christmas movies on Netflix? We’ve picked out 15 of our festive holiday favorites.
Looking for the best Netflix Christmas movies? There’s nothing to put you in the holiday spirit like a properly festive film. And while we all have our favorite Xmas classics (Scrooged, The Muppet Christmas Carol, Jingle All The Way), one thing Netflix is especially great at is delivering new original Christmas favorites every year. And it’s a Christmas miracle – because 2020 seems to have brought us more than ever. As with most genres, there’s more to discover on Netflix than you probably realize. So, in the Christmas spirit of giving, we’ve done the hard work and dug though the festive Original movies to find the best ones to watch this year. Whether you’re looking for the perfect movie to stream on Christmas Eve, or you plan on spending the entirety of December curled up indoors on a festive film binge (really, what better way is there to spend December 2020?), here are the best Christmas movies to watch on Netflix right now. We’ve kept them to Netflix Originals, so you can watch these anywhere you can get the streaming service. Merry NetfliXmas, one and all… This tale delivers winter whimsy by the truckload. A brand new spectacle for 2020, this musical adventure deserves to be seen on the biggest TV available, and with the best sound system you can find. Boasting original songs by John Legend, Usher, and more, the family film tells the story of the legendary inventor and toymaker Jeronicus Jangle (played by Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker). When his trusted apprentice (Keegan-Michael Key) steals one of his unique creations, it’s up to his smart granddaughter – and some inventions wizardry, naturally – to save the day. File this under future family favorites, and expect to watch it every December. When you look up the phrase “camp as Christmas” in the dictionary, the page has got to be nothing but a full-page color poster for this exact film. Not only does the iconic Dolly Parton lend her acting talents to this downhome treat as a literal angel, but the just-released musical also features 14 original songs with music and lyrics by Dolly herself, too. When a Scrooge-style woman threatens to ruin Christmas for her small hometown, it’s up to family, love – and Dolly – to warm her cold heart. Don your sparkliest, tinsel lined cowboy boots and have yourself a Dolly holiday. If the idea of Kurt Russell as a super cool Santa sounds like fun to you (it should do, because it is) then The Christmas Chronicles makes for perfect Christmas streaming fodder. The comedy sees Santa accidentally get interrupted by two kids on his Christmas Eve deliveries – and crashes his sleigh, losing his presents in the process, before embarking on an adventure with the children to save Christmas. It comes with Christmas pedigree too, as it’s directed by Home Alone and Harry Potter helmer Chris Columbus. Make it a double bill this year with the new The Christmas Chronicles sequel, in which Goldie Hawn joins the action-packed adventure, too, as Mrs Claus.
