Best New Christmas Movies Streaming on Netflix and More

The holiday season is upon us, and what better way to celebrate than with a cozy night in watching some heartwarming rom-coms? This year, the major streamers have rolled out a diverse selection of festive films to get you in the holiday spirit. From mystery Santas to grand larceny, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Let’s take a closer look at some of the top picks for this year’s holiday movie lineup.

First up, we have “Finding Joy” on Amazon Prime Video. This film follows lovelorn New York fashion designer Joy, played by Shannon Thornton, who finds herself stranded in a snowstorm in Colorado. Enter Ridge, a mysterious man played by Tosin Morohunfola, who comes to her rescue. While the enemies-to-lovers trope is convincing, the film lacks the traditional cheer of a holiday romance. However, the nontraditional Christmas movie ending may surprise you.

Next, we have “Champagne Problems” on Netflix. Executive Sydney, portrayed by Minka Kelly, is sent to Paris to acquire a Champagne brand and unexpectedly falls for the heir of the empire, Henri, played by Tom Wozniczka. The chemistry between the two leads is decent, and the film offers a charming and sweet story set in the picturesque backdrop of Paris.

Moving on to “Merv” on Amazon Prime Video, this film follows exes played by Charlie Cox and Zooey Deschanel who split custody of their dog, Merv. When Merv is diagnosed with depression, the trio embarks on a journey to a pampered dog resort where old flames reignite. While the film lacks holiday tidings, it delivers a cute sitcom-level romp with intense chemistry between the leads.

In “My Secret Santa” on Netflix, a single mom cosplays as Santa and falls in love with a ski lodge tycoon. While the chemistry between the leads is low, the film is a delightful and sappy holiday treat that will warm your heart.

Other notable holiday films include “Joy to the World” on Hulu, “A Merry Little Ex-Mas” on Netflix, and “Jingle Bell Heist” on Netflix. Each film offers its own unique take on the holiday romance genre, from joyful chemistry to bright holiday cheer.

Whether you’re in the mood for a traditional holiday romance or a darkly comedic heist film with a Christmas twist, this year’s holiday movie lineup has something for everyone. So grab a cup of hot cocoa, snuggle up by the fire, and enjoy a festive night in with these heartwarming films.
