Some of the best series and movies on Netflix are perfect to get you in the Christmas spirit. Not all of the Christmas movies on Netflix are best for quality entertainment; based on their ratings, most critics and audiences agree that films like Small Town Santa and Christmas Ranch aren’t must-watch movies. But there are plenty of high-quality movies, as well as specific episodes from TV series, that are perfect to celebrate the holiday season with.

Best Christmas Movies On Netflix

Get Santa

For those that always expected Santa was going to get arrested one day, this is the movie for you.

A Christmas Horror Story

For those needing a break from all of the yuletide cheer, this horror anthology starring William Shatner will give you a nice breather. Plus, it has a twist ending that you probably won’t see coming.

Miracle on 34^th Street

This remake of the classic film is one of the most popular movies on Netflix.

Noel

Though this film didn’t fly with the critics, Netflix subscribers have given it high ratings. The film is about five New Yorkers who discover a new meaning of Christmas, and it features an all-star cast: Susan Sarandon, Paul Walker, Penelope Cruz, Alan Arkin, and Robin Williams.

Love Actually

For those that love romance with their films, Love Actually is billed as “the ultimate romantic comedy.” And it also serves as a reminder that Liam Neeson used to star in movies where he wasn’t trying to rescue his daughter or wife.

Christmas with the Kranks

This is another film that bombed with the critics that Netflix audiences adore.

Just Friends

If movies featuring outrageous comedy are your thing, then Just Friends is the film you are looking for.

Scrooged

This is one of the most popular Christmas films of all-time and it is one of the best movies on Netflix. Bill Murray stars in this story that puts a modern day twist on the holiday classic, A Christmas Carol. Appearing in the film is a list of names that were staples of the ’80s: Karen Allen, John Forsythe, John Glover, Bobcat Goldthwait, Carol Kane, Robert Mitchum, Robert Goulet, Lee Majors, Mary Lou Retton, Brian Doyle-Murray, and many more. Movie Views describes why this is one of the best movies on Netflix.

“Directed by Richard Donner and adapted by Mitch Glazer and Michael O’Donoghue, Scrooged brings Dickens up to speed for a modern crowd. Although it’s a smidge cruder and more crass, Scrooged nevertheless maintains the heart of the story and proves that remakes and new visions of old material need not be redundant.”
