I look forward to December every year, simply for the chance to sit in the lounge and binge Christmas movies. I love the classics, from Home Alone to Love Actually, but there's always a new set of films that appear on Netflix. The streamer has come out with some gems over the past few years, like Love Hard, Hot Frosty and Klaus, so I've been eagerly awaiting their holiday slate.
From Alicia Silverstone's new A Merry Little Ex-Mas to Jingle Bell Heist, there's some great festive options to pull up on your screen. If you prefer lifestyle shows over movies, Meghan Markle has conjured up a special holiday edition of her show With Love, Meghan. To take a look at the best Christmas content coming to Netflix, read on.

Jingle Bell Heist
Jingle Bell Heist shot to number one on Netflix's most-watched movies list just hours after it was released, it's one to watch.

My Secret Santa
The premise of My Secret Santa sounds cheesy in the best way. After a single mum (Alexandra Breckenridge) finds herself in desperate need of a job, she disguises herself as Santa and starts working at a luxury ski resort. Her plan seems to work out perfectly, until she starts falling in love with the hotel manager (Ryan Eggold).

Meet Me Next Christmas
While not technically new, Meet Me Next Christmas is an instant holiday classic that flew too under-the-radar when it dropped in 2024. It's about a woman named Layla (Christina Milian) who is on a quest to meet James, the man of her dreams (Kofi Siriboe), so she races across New York City with a Christmas concierge (Devale Ellis) hoping to find a ticket to a sold-out Pentatonix Christmas concert.
