Netflix has always been a good destination for movies, and Christmas-themed feature films are no different. Over the years, Netflix has moved more towards releasing its own original programming, so while you might not find quite as many classic Christmas movies on Netflix, you will still find plenty of originals that you can’t stream elsewhere.
