Netflix has always been a good destination for movies, and Christmas is no different. With Netflix focusing more on its own original programming these days, you might not find quite as many classic Christmas movies as on other streaming services. The upside, however, is that you are likely to find plenty of Christmas originals that you can’t stream anywhere else.
Here are 18 Christmas movies we think are worth checking out over the Holidays on Netflix, as well as an additional 13 bonus mentions.
