This year Netflix has a great stash of ho-ho-holiday goodness. With a whole ‘Festive Favourites’ category, the only problem is choosing what to watch! Save the squabbles for Monopoly by browsing our favourites below.
1.) The Christmas Chronicles
Bickering siblings discover Santa’s sleigh and must save Christmas in this modern story. Including a sarcastic Santa who doesn’t “ho, ho, ho”, car chases, futuristic gadgets, flossing elves and a multitude of references to classic carols, this is an instant family favourite.
2.) Love Actually
When “Christmas is all around,” there’s no film I’d rather watch than the classic tale of 10 Londoners following their hearts to Christmas romance.
3.) The Man Who Invented Christmas
This film sees a young Charles Dickens looking for inspiration for his next book. Struggling with childhood issues, Charlie searches for redemption not just for his character, but for himself.
