Check These New Christmas Movies

Yes, yes—it’s really nice to watch movies like “Three Wishes for Cinderella” or even “Die Hard“. But of course, we also crave fresh stories. Especially in times that aren’t always easy, we just need a good dose of romcoms at Christmas, don’t we?

Christmas stories in particular allow us to wallow in romance, heartache, pain, and kitsch on a massive scale and always hope for a happy ending. That’s why we’re delighted that we’re once again being offered so much new content from streaming providers this year. We’ll tell you what’s going on with the most important services:

Christmas on Netflix

Every year we find a huge selection of Christmas content on Netflix. This includes classics such as “The Grinch” or “Klaus”, but also fresh content. “A snowman brought to life, a mystery with Lindsay Lohan and a striptease for a good cause: That’s Christmas on Netflix! A wide selection of classics, romcoms, animated adventures, and festive music from pop star Sabrina Carpenter”. That’s how Netflix itself sums up its new Christmas program. But of course, they have more to offer—Netflix has a total of 140 Christmas titles at the start! But here are the new releases:

• Our Little Secret—We see Lindsey Lohan again in a Christmas movie: an ex-couple discovers that their new partners are siblings. And of course, now they all have to spend Christmas together.
• A tiny little Christmas miracle—in this animated film, we get several Christmas-themed, interconnected stories that are always about friendship, love, friendship, but also loneliness—and the fact that Santa Claus really messed up.
• The Merry Gentlemen—This is about how a dancer wants to save her parents’ bar and puts on an all-male Christmas revue.
• Meet me next Christmas—this is about a hopeless romantic who has two missions at once: To meet the man of her dreams—and to get hold of a concert ticket at the very last minute.
• Hot Frosty—in this film you meet a young widow and a snowman who is brought to life by her.
• A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter—the pop icon gets her own Christmas special from Netflix, with lots of music and some surprise guests, of course.
• Last Christmas Unwrapped—you either hate this song or you love it. This BBC documentary is about perhaps the most important Christmas song in pop history. Look forward to the original protagonists at the original filming locations of the “Last Christmas” clip.
• Carry-On—since Die Hard at the latest, we know that Christmas also works with action. A blackmailer wants to smuggle a dangerous package onboard an airplane. And an airport security guard wants to prevent exactly that.

Are these suggestions not enough for you? Then take a look at Netflix’s special Christmas page with all the festive films and series.

Christmas on Amazon Prime

With films such as “Three Wishes for Cinderella”, “A Merry Christmas” and “Love Needs No Holidays”, Amazon Prime Video also has a lot on offer that is celebrated by many movies and Christmas fans every year. But these are the new highlights of the Christmas program:

• Red One: Christmas Alert—Christmas action with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Chris Evans might be something for you? Then you might want to give Red One a chance.
• Christmas on Ice—in this movie, a figure skater and an ice hockey player not only have to come together, but also save a skating rink that is on the brink of collapse.
• Genie—Melissa McCarthy plays a genie in a bottle and presumably comes to the aid of a desperate workaholic just in time.
• Candy Cane Lane—In this movie with Eddie Murphy, an elf causes a lot of chaos before Christmas. Once again, of course, it’s all about saving Christmas—and I already have an idea that this could work.
• Christmas is Canceled—Just before Christmas, Emma Lockhart finds out that her widowed father must be having an affair with her former high school nemesis.
• Christmas with you or with me? Part 2—As in the first part (also available on Amazon Prime Video), it’s about two people who are deeply in love, James and Haley, who want to celebrate Christmas together, and then once again a serious mix-up occurs.

Christmas at Disney+ and Paramount+

Disney is not only a film heavyweight, but also has a lot of Christmas content (overview page) on its streaming platform, such as “Home Alone”. However, there isn’t an excessive amount of Christmas novelties there, which is why I also take a look outside the box to see what can be found on Paramount+. (By the way, if you’re not really in the mood for Christmas, Paramount has really strong series such as “From” or “Evil”, and brand new: “Dexter: Original Sin”).

• A lot of fuss about Christmas (Disney+)—What’s so special about Christmas again? In this touching story, social worker Eddie (played by Ludacris) has to learn this again through his young daughter.
• Christmas is Coming (Disney+)—In this 24-minute animated film, we meet a young owl who first gets stuck in a Christmas tree in New York and then meets a little girl who has lost her parents in the hustle and bustle.
• Dear Santa – Devilish Christmas (Paramount+)—Here we get to deal with a diabolical Jack Black, who ends up with little Liam due to a fatal typo.

Okay, even the biggest Christmas enthusiasts have a lot to do now if they want to watch everything new you can stream for Christmas. Tell us if there’s anything that has completely won you over – or if there are any new movies that we should have mentioned here.
