“It’s time for a little more holiday joy in our lives.”
“Lucky for us, there’s plenty of holiday magic to be found this Christmas.”

With many of us cooped up in our homes and separated from our friends and family, it can be a very bleak time. Lucky for us, there’s plenty of holiday magic to be found this Christmas. Netflix released a ton of delightful Christmas original films and series. So if you haven’t yet watched the the long awaited conclusion to the The Christmas Prince trilogy, A Royal Baby, here’s your chance.
Netflix original films
Holiday in the Wild
Kristin Davis plays a mother who plans a romantic trip to Africa with her husband after their son heads away to college. Unfortunately for her, her husband opts for a divorce instead. Obviously Davis decides to go to Africa anyway, presumably to Eat Pray Love her impending divorce blues away. And given that it’s a holiday movie, the odds seem astronomically high that she’s going to fall in love with Rob Lowe, who plays her pilot on her leg to Zambia. Also Netflix assures us there are baby elephants.
Let It Snow
Snowstorm on Christmas Eve? Check. High school seniors? Check. An important party to attend and a stolen keg? Check. If this isn’t Christmas Superbad meets every John Hughes film ever, I’ll be highly disappointed. Kiernan Shipka will hopefully be playing some sort of blonde Molly Ringwald.
Klaus
This animated original comes from Despicable Me co-creator Sergio Pablos and features a fantastic cast of voice actors including Jason Schwartzman, Rashida Jones and J.K. Simmons. It’s also about a postal employee, but I’m going to give it the benefit of the doubt that it’s jam-packed with Christmas magic.
The Knight Before Christmas
Vanessa Hudgens becomes friends with a medieval knight who ends up in present-day Ohio. I’m assuming this is going to be a Christmas-version of Kate & Leopold, which I’m totally OK with. Plus Emmanuelle Chriqui co-stars and the tween girl in me is very excited to see if she’s still as beautiful as she was in Snow Day. Read the full list from Cnet.
