8 Great Holiday Movies On Netflix Right Now

In recent years, Netflix has started to challenge the Hallmark channel when it comes to churning out a good Christmas movie or two. While a lot of Christmas movies have the same old tropes – i.e. strong-willed city slicker goes home for Christmas and falls in love with a sweet townie – Netflix has produced some pretty fun and unique holiday films in the past few years.

Here are the eight top holiday movies on Netflix right now to add to your watch lists this season:

Lindsay Lohan returns to the screen in the newest Netflix Christmas release “Falling For Christmas.” With her co-star Chord Overstreet, they make a romantic holiday film following an engaged hotel heiress who gets amnesia from a ski accident and a widowed father during Christmas time.

In this Christmas rom-com, main character Peter convinces his best friend Nick to pretend to be his boyfriend during the holidays. Peter just wanted to avoid the embarrassment of being single during Christmas time, but later discovers that there are more feelings involved than he originally anticipated.

When a snowstorm hits on Christmas Eve, a group of high school students all end up crossing paths. The film chronicles the teenagers bracing the storm to get to a local waffle house for a party. The movie is original, light-hearted, and even has a catchy song.
