The Best Movies To Watch On Netflix Canada (When You’re Avoiding People This Holiday)

There are moments in all of my favourite holiday movies that are the reasons I revisit them every year: when the curtain drops and Prime Minister David is revealed to be making out with Natalie in front of an entire school of children in Love Actually; when Iris realizes she has gumption and Amanda finally sheds a tear in The Holiday; or when John McClane says “yippee-ki-yay” for the first time in Die Hard.

Whatever your Christmas-movie preference (I will also accept Batman Returns, The Preacher’s Wife, and the OG Home Alone), there are certain cinematic treasures that have become as much of a staple in our homes this time of year as presents, cranberry sauce and awkward conversation with extended family members.
 
Whether you want to revisit a classic, get acquainted with a new hit or take a break from the holidays altogether, Netflix Canada has you covered. Here are the best movies — holiday or otherwise — to watch on the streaming service this season.
