Top 10 Christmas Movies on Netflix You’ve Got to Watch This Year — Leisure
In this article

Netflix is packed with stories this year that lift your spirits, bring just the right amount of nostalgia, or make you reflect on the true meaning of Christmas. Let’s see which ones will help you truly get into the holiday spirit!

The Christmas Castle

If you love romantic winter tales with snowy landscapes and a charming prince, this movie is a must-watch! In this romantic comedy, a recently divorced writer impulsively decides to buy a castle in Scotland (already a Christmas fairy tale in itself), only to discover the castle’s owner is grumpy but irresistibly attractive…

The Best Christmas Ever

If you enjoy Christmas stories where rivalry is as much a part of the holiday as the scent of gingerbread, this one’s for you! The suburban mom and her impeccably put-together old friend’s festive gathering quickly turns into hilarious chaos… Know someone who’s "perfect in every way" (especially at Christmas)? You’ll find some fun parallels here!

The Boy Called Christmas

The Advent season is the perfect time to dive into Gil Kenan’s enchanting film — it’ll make you feel like a kid again, no matter how long you’ve been an adult. This hopeful, magical story follows young Nikolas on a quest to restore faith in Christmas. But he finds so much more along the way…

The Christmas Chronicles

Kurt Russell’s Santa is so lovable and cool, you’ll forget every other Santa story that ever let you down. The plot is surprisingly twisty, and the whole tale is a fast-paced adventure where two kids must help keep a looming holiday disaster a secret from the rest of us…

The Scent of Love

Looking for a modern romantic comedy this Christmas? You’ve found it! This story is packed with humor, sweet moments, and emotional twists that will pull you out of the December chaos. Natalie is caught between two men — one from pictures, the other from real life. Who’s hiding the truth? Who’s committing a modern-day betrayal? And who will have the happiest Christmas?

Christmas with You

When a worn-out pop star travels to New York for inspiration, a chance encounter leads to a surprising partnership… Romantic comedy icon Freddie Prinze Jr. stars in this charming, musical Christmas story you definitely need to see this year!

Christmas Romance

Lindsay Lohan’s comeback in this film is as nostalgic and charming as you’d expect. She plays an heiress who loses her memory after a skiing accident. As she tries to piece together who she really is, she finds friends who help her rebuild her lost self.

The Enchanting Snowman

This film is pure Christmas fun: its star is a snowman brought to life who’s not only sweet and magical but also quite handsome. Lacey Chabert’s character finds herself in a wonderfully over-the-top and (of course) romantic situation that’s as classic as it is funny and heartwarming.

Gentlemen, Take the Stage!

Want to break free from Christmas clichés? What better way than with some dance? When Ashley returns to her hometown to help save her parents’ beloved nightclub from unpaid rent, you can bet something big is about to happen. Get comfy — the all-male dance revue is about to begin!

Christmas Inheritance

This film follows one of the most beloved Christmas storylines: a city girl gets stuck in a small town. At first, she sees flaws everywhere, but slowly, she falls in love with everything — including the locals’ warmth. Who knows, maybe someone else will catch her eye too? It’s a light, charming movie that reminds us how unexpected moments can lead us to rediscover ourselves.
