However, I’m going to recommend one Netflix Christmas movie more than others, and no, it’s not Hot Frosty or any of the ones starring Lindsay Lohan. It’s PG-13 so you’ll want to send the younger kids to bed as it does get uh, pretty violent. It’s Carry-On, currently the number one movie on Netflix, and for good reason — it’s excellent.

With the Nativity holiday just days away, Netflix has a diverse range of movies that cater to the coziness of this season. Among the fan favorites is The Christmas Chronicles, starring Kurt Russell as Santa Claus.

It can be difficult to narrow down your festive watchlist on streaming, but that's what I'm here for. These are the 12 movies I've watched during the countdown to Christmas.
