The holiday season is officially underway, and Netflix is leading the charge with a sleigh full of new Christmas movies for 2025. This year, the streaming giant is offering a diverse range of holiday content, from unconventional rom-coms to family-friendly adventures.
For those seeking a departure from traditional holiday fare, Netflix is delivering fresh themes and storylines. "Jingle Bell Heist" stars Olivia Holt and Connor Swindells as a pair of small-time thieves who find themselves in an uneasy alliance to rob a London department store on Christmas Eve. As they attempt to pull off the heist, they unexpectedly find themselves falling in love. "My Secret Santa" tells the story of a single mom who disguises herself as a man to get a job as Santa at a luxury ski resort, only to fall for the hotel manager. Alexandra Breckenridge, Ryan Eggold, and Tia Mowry star in this quirky rom-com.
Netflix is also offering more traditional holiday romance with titles like "Champagne Problems". This film follows a business executive, Sydney (Minka Kelly), who travels to Paris just before the holidays to acquire a champagne brand. However, her plans become complicated when she falls for a handsome stranger who turns out to be the champagne company founder's son. "A Merry Little Ex-Mas" offers a twist on the traditional Christmas movie, featuring Alicia Silverstone and Oliver Hudson as a divorcing couple navigating the holidays with their family and new love interests. The film also stars Jameela Jamil and Melissa Joan Hart.
Beyond rom-coms, Netflix is also delivering family-friendly options. While specific titles were not available, Netflix generally ensures that their holiday lineup includes content suitable for all ages.
Other streaming platforms are also getting in on the holiday movie action. Disney+ offers "A Very Jonas Christmas Movie," following the Jonas Brothers' chaotic journey from London to New York in time for Christmas. The film features celebrity cameos and promises a fun-filled adventure for fans of the band. Prime Video is offering a mix of original films and classic favorites. "The Merchants of Joy" is a documentary that provides a behind-the-scenes look at the New York City Christmas tree vendor families who bring festive cheer to the city.
Whether you're in the mood for a heartwarming romance, a thrilling heist, or a family-friendly adventure, the holiday movie season has something for everyone. With new releases hitting theaters and streaming services throughout December, now is the perfect time to grab some popcorn, cozy up on the couch, and get into the holiday spirit.
