The holidays are on their way. With barely two weeks until vacations commence, it's time for everyone to get into the spirit of the season. TV is ready. From Dec. 12 to 16, there are no less than 20 titles with the words "Christmas" or "Holiday" in them arriving across broadcast and cable, not to mention a few non-holiday live specials trying to ride the viewer wave. But for the cord-cutters, what's available for the holiday? Luckily, Netflix jumped in with both feet. These Christmas movies to watch on Netflix are all exclusive originals. And they are all as good or better than anything on regular TV.
Netflix first started getting in on the Christmas game back in 2017 with The Christmas Prince taking over all of your feeds. Since then, the streaming service has performed its own version of "Christmas Creep," and by 2019, the first "holiday-themed" films were arriving the morning after Halloween. (Lifetime and Hallmark would approve.) With three years of holiday specials from Nailed It! to the Great British Baking Show, Netflix has already caught up to its competitors this year. And there are easily a dozen Netflix original movies to watch this holiday season. So grab your favorite blanket, cozy up by the fire, and get ready to be home for the holiday.
This series includes 2017's A Christmas Prince and 2018's A Christmas Prince: A Royal Wedding, and now A Christmas Prince: The Royal Baby. Here's the synopsis:
