I don’t know about everyone else but one of my favorite things to do during the holidays is watch Christmas movies. What’s better than being curled up on the couch with some hot coco and watching movies? I love that Netflix has a great selection of Christmas movies they stream. I compiled a list of some of my favorite movies to watch.
Happy Christmas: After splitting up with her boyfriend just before the holidays, a young woman tries to start over, but her self-destructive behavior gets in the way. First of all I love Anna Kendrick (any other fellow Pitch Perfect lovers out there) and second who hasn’t had a relationship end badly and your own craziness gets in the way?
Christmas With The Kranks: When the Kranks decide to skip Christmas, they become social outcasts from their Christmas obsessed neighbors.
12 Dates Of Christmas: Set up on a blind date on Christmas Eve, Kate gets 12 chances to relive the date over and over again until she sets things right.
Christmas Angel: While writing an assignment for school about Christmas wishes, Olivia begins to notice her wishes are coming true, she becomes convinced that they are miracles linked to a woman she thinks is an angel.
A Christmas Carol: A greedy miser is given an otherworldly opportunity to redeem himself on Christmas Eve, when three spirits take him on a journey of revelation.
The Heart of Christmas: Austin and Julie are devastated when they learn that their young son, Dax, has been diagnosed with cancer. They decide to give Dax one last Christmas.
The Nightmare Before Christmas: Tired of scary humans every October 31 with the same old bag of tricks, Jack Skellington, the spindly king of Halloween Town, kidnaps Santa Clause and plans to deliver shrunken heads and other ghoulish gifts to children on Christmas morning.
I have a lot of other Christmas movies that I love to watch that aren’t on Netflix as well. Do you have a favorite Christmas movie to watch? Let me know in the comments below!
I love Christmas movies! I haven’t seen most of these, but I think Happy Christmas will be moving to the top of my list to see. My all-time favorite Christmas movie is The Muppet’s Christmas Carol, but I don’t think it’s on Netflix. My son has watched it about a million times since he discovered it. 🙂
I love Christmas movies as well Samantha! I really like Happy Christmas. I love the Muppet’s Christmas Carol as well!
I love a great Christmas movie, I love this time of year
Me too Eileen! Do you have any favorite Christmas movies to watch?
Love this post! Especially since I just published a book about movies, “101 Movies To See Before You Grow Up.” “Nightmare” made the list, too!
That’s awesome that you just published your book Suzette! I think Nightmare is a movie that has to be seen.
The writers for The Nightmare Before Christmas came out and said that it was a Halloween movie, not a Christmas movie.
Cori, I was not aware of that. Very interesting.
What a fun list! We always have to watch Home Alone!
Leah, Home Alone is one of my favorite Christmas movies to watch.
Love Pitch Perfect too! I’m definitely going to watch Happy Christmas, and the 12 dates of Christmas looks cute too. Thanks for the recommendations!
Shann I could watch Pitch Perfect once a week. It never gets old. Hope you enjoy some of the movies!
Nightmare before Christmas is one of my favourites!
Leslie
Leslie I love it as well. It’s not the typical Christmas movie. Though I was told today that it is not actually a Christmas movie, it is a Halloween movie.
Yes to all of the above please! With a bowl of white chocolate peppermint coated pretzels please.
Christina those pretzels sound so good!!!
I was just wondering which Christmas movies I could watch on Netflix! This is super helpful. Thank for sharing!!
I’m glad it was helpful Kailei. I hope you enjoy the movies!
I’ve only watched The Nightmare Before Christmas so I’ll have to check out the rest of these ASAP!
Amanda

Let me know if you like any of them Amanda.
These are some great Christmas picks. I’m really interested in watching Happy Christmas. I’m definitely adding it to my list. Thanks!
I need to watch Happy Christmas! I love Anna!
Mae I love Anna as well!! I really like the movie. 🙂
Yay for Christmas movies! Can’t wait to watch them all 🙂
I love all of these movies, sure would love to watch one with you soon 🙂
love you girl!
Kacie, I’ll be in for a few days during Christmas time. Hopefully we can get together! Love you!
Sadly I don’t think a lot of my Christmas faves are on Netflix, “Jingle all the way” “the family stone etc. but last year my mom and I watched Christmas with the Kranks and it was delighful. I also watched Happy Christmas, it was a little dark in my opinion for a Christmas movie…maybe more realistic but not a horrible film at all it just didn’t get me in the spirit but great cast.
Those are great picks for Christmas movies Dia! I really love the Family Stone. Happy Christmas def doesn’t get you in the Christmas spirit like the other one’s do but it’s not a horrible movie.
I love this post! I have been doing research on which Christmas movies are the best to watch on Netflix so I will now be referring to your guide. Merry Christmas! XO, Ashley || http://www.itsapashion.com
Ashley, I hope you enjoy the movies I suggested. They have a lot more movies to watch as well. Merry Christmas to you as well! 🙂
These are all great! I suggest also you watch The Christmas Shoes. It’s similar to the Heart of Christmas (feel good Christmas movie that will make you cry)
Kari I have never heard of that movie. I will have to watch it! Thank You for the suggestion. 🙂
I watched The Heart of Christmas on netflix the other day and was actually crying. It has been a long time since a movie has moved me so much.
On a lighter note, Christmas with the Kranks is my favorite Christmas movie and I’m so happy it’s on Netflix now!
Brooklyn I agree The Heart of Christmas is sad but it’s also got a great message. Christmas with the Kranks always makes me laugh.
Where is Elf?????????
Kim elf surprisingly is not on netflix. I do know that it has been on tv recently. 🙂
Happy Christmas?! I need to see this! I’ve been recording all the Hallmark, Ion, and Lifetime movies since they started. My free time is totally consumed by Christmas movies.
Kristin I have not been watching any Life Time or Hallmark movies! I will have to do that this weekend. Thank You for reminding me about them!
I have such a girl crush on Anna Kendrick! I haven’t seen that movie, but now I need to! I’m going to talk my husband into watching it with me tonight 🙂
Carly I love Anna!!! She reminds me a lot of myself. I think she would be so much fun to hang out with. The movie is a little dark not like the typical happy christmas movie but still good. 🙂
Love Christmas with the Kranks. I just saw The Heart of Christmas for the first time a couple weeks ago. Hello, tears! This movie definitely brought a new perspective to my eyes!
Lexi I know the Heart Of Christmas brings on the tears but it is so good. Christmas with the Kranks always makes me laugh.
I love Christmas movies too! A couple of our family favorites are the movie “Elf”, and “The Nativity Story”. Thanks for sharing 🙂 Merry Christmas!
Lauren I love the Elf as well. Unfortunately it is not on Netflix. I have not seen The Nativity Story in so long. Merry Christmas!!!
I love 12 dates of christmas with “zach from saved by the bell” I also love mistones!!
I love him too Kara! I used to watch Saved By The Bell all the time. I miss it!
A vey nice starter list… I’ve not yet had much of a look at Netflix yet this month… if “Elf” is available, that mindless reel of fun is a Christmas necessity, no matter your age.
Rae Elf is not on netflix for some reason. It has been showing a lot on tv though.
This is so awesome I like to watch one or two or twenty movies over the weekends leading up to Christmas.
Anna me too!! I will be watching some more this weekend. 🙂
Thanks for sharing this!!! I’ve been needing some inspiration for Christmas movies to watch 🙂
Nitta you’re very welcome! I love watching Christmas movies! Hope you enjoy them. 🙂
Christmas with the Kranks is so good! We’re watching that this week! I definitely want to watch that Christmas movie with Anna Kendrick; she’s so great!
Chelsie I love Christmas with the Kranks!!! I will be watching it this weekend. The movie with Anna is a little dark and not the typical Christmas movie but still really good!
Great list! I’ve already watched Christmas with the Kranks twice haha I love that movie. I always loved watching The Santa Clause. I’m surprised I haven’t watched it yet. I’ll have to get on that.
Thank You Keating! I have not watched Christmas with the Kranks yet this year but I will be this weekend.
I think Netflix is slacking on the Christmas movies just a bit this year. Christmases past they had more of a variety. But I do love the Heart of Christmas, gets me every time.
I agree Krista that they do not have as many movies for Christmas this year. The Heart of Christmas is so good.
I love Christmas movies! I like to be cozy when I watch them… and I tend to be nostalgic, but I love it.
Erika I love watching Christmas movies as well. There is nothing better than being cozy while watching them.
Nightmare before Christmas is our favorite movie on this list. Thank you for sharing… perfect to get into the festive season!
You’re welcome! Watching Christmas movies during the holidays is a must.
I just saw Christmas with the Kranks last year and loved it! I love being able to get on Netflix and get in the Christmas spirit! I haven’t seen most of these so I’ll have to make my way through them!
I’m not sure if it’s on netflix but Charlie Brown Christmas is my favorite!
Kristin I am not sure if it is or not. They don’t have as many movies this year as they have had before. I love Charlie Brown Christmas as well.
There are a lot here I haven’t seen. We have Netflix so I’ll have to check it out!
Becky let me know if you like any of them!
Christmas movies are the best! I wish they offered more on Netflix!! I love that you mentioned 12 Dates Of Christmas… last year my mom was in town for the holidays and watched that one about 20 times 😉
Cheers!
Mary I am disappointed that they do not have as many movies on Netflix this year for Christmas. They used to have so many. I love 12 dates!
White Christmas is on Netflix! Best Christmas movie ever! 🙂
Branson I have not watched that before! I will have to add that to my list. 🙂
I’ve never seen Christmas with the Kranks, but I’m going to watch it on Netflix this year.
Jill it’s really funny. I hope you enjoy it!
Great movies here to enjoy! I have seen already a few of them. I just love Netflix!

So glad all of these are on Netflix! Can’t wait to watch some of them!

Heehee. I wrote a post just like this but only including the cheesy Christmas movies that are on Netflix. 😉 I think your list has a few more quality ones than mine does. 😉
Susannah that’s awesome!!! I will have to check out your list. I love watching Christmas movies!
I actually haven’t seen any of these! Definitely going to check out the first one though, because I love Anna Kendrick!
It’s a little bit of a dark movie Erin. Not the typical Christmas movie but it’s very real and of course I love Anna.
Omg, I have never heard of Happy Christmas.
I’ll have to check it out.
xoxo, Jenny
Jenny it’s really good. Not your typical Christmas movie but I still enjoyed it.
Anyone who doesn’t have The Nightmare Before Christmas on their list is crazy lol That’s one of our MUST watch movie.
Jasmine I agree! I did however get told when I posted this that it is not a Christmas movie. It is actually a Halloween movie. So….yeah.
These are great picks! I’m totally getting sucked into cheesy Christmas movies. I loved 12 Dates of Christmas and the Christmas Angel. The Nightmare Before Christmas is a classic!
Thank You Jenn! I love watching Christmas movies. It’s a lot of fun, especially when they are cheesy.
It’s going to sound funny but I love watching ‘While You Were Sleeping” since it’s set at Christmas time 🙂
Alissia I love that movie!!! I haven’t seen it in years though.
I love watching the Nightmare Before Christmas for both Halloween and Christmas! Great picks!
Thank You!!! I was told that the movie is actually not a Christmas movie. But it seems fitting for both. 🙂
What?! How have I not seen 2 of these? Must get on it pronto!
Angie let me know how you like them if you watch any! I’ll be having a Christmas movie marathon this weekend. 🙂
Great choices of movies to watch!
Thank You Ashley!
Ooh I didn’t know the original Christmas Carol was on there this year! I’ll have to check it out 🙂
McKenna you definitely should check it out. 🙂
